Hi, I’m a Licensed Mental Health Counselor–Diagnostic (LMHC-D) and CASAC with a Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. I work with adults and adolescents facing anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, personality concerns, substance use, and life stress. My approach is warm, supportive, and practical. I use tools from CBT, DBT, and Motivational Interviewing to help you better understand yourself and make real, lasting changes. My goal is to create a space where you feel comfortable, understood, and empowered to move forward.
I believe every patient is unique and deserves individualized care. I have a passion for instilling hope in the patients I care for. I place a strong emphasis on actively listening and collaborating with each patient on their goals of treatment.
I am dual board certified Nurse Practitioner. I specialized in management of depression, anxiety, panic disorders, ADHD and addiction treatment.
I'm Magdalena, and I've been doing this work for 14 years — across schools, community
mental health, and private practice. What that span of experience gave me is range: I've
worked with people in serious crisis and people who are simply stuck, and I've learned
that the gap between those two things is smaller than most people think. I trained at
UNC Wilmington and have spent my career working with adults across the full
complexity of what life throws at people — anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD, parenting,
major life transitions, and identity. I offer therapy in both English and Polish, and I'm
LGBTQ+-affirming. I accept insurance and offer a sliding scale. My goal isn't to be your
therapist forever — it's to give you what you need so you can get on with your life.
I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in private practice with an extensive background in social work across diverse settings. My work is grounded in compassion, ethical practice, and a deep respect for each person’s unique story.
I earned my Master of Social Work (MSW) from Sacred Heart University where I received comprehensive training in clinical practice and evidence-based interventions. I have experience working with adults and older adults navigating a wide range of concerns, including dementia, anxiety, burnout, stress, and the everyday ups and downs of life. My background has equipped me to support clients with both complex clinical needs and the challenges that naturally arise across different life stages.
As a Marriage and Family Therapist I strive to create a comfortable and safe environment for my clients to engage in the therapeutic process. I work to ensure your concerns are heard and will empower you as we navigate your challenges and work to strengthen your most meaningful relationships. Together we will assess what is contributing to your problems and develop healthy strategies for you to manage them and reach your goals.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Hartford
Searching for therapists in Hartford starts with knowing what kind of support fits your needs. Hartford therapists may specialize in concerns like anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, relationship challenges, or life transitions. As you compare options, look for a therapist whose listed specialties, training, and approach match what you want to address. Bios can also help you understand whether a therapist uses approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, or trauma-informed care.
In a smaller city like Hartford, the number of nearby office options may be more limited than in larger metro areas. Virtual sessions can expand your choices while keeping local in-person care available when that format fits better. As you narrow your search, consider appointment times, whether the therapist is accepting new clients, and whether a free phone consultation is offered. Reading profiles before booking can help you compare communication style, session structure, and what the therapist says you can expect from working together.
Therapy in Hartford can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand your out-of-pocket estimate before you book. Headway makes it easier to search for licensed therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, view real-time availability, and book directly when you’re ready.
