ADHD therapists and psychiatrists in Manchester, CT

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 believe that meaningful therapy begins with feeling safe, heard, and supported. My goal is to create a compassionate, non-judgmental space where individuals and families can explore challenges, build on their strengths, and move toward positive change.

I hold both a Bachelor’s degree and a Master’s degree in Social Work and have over five years of experience working directly with children and families. My professional background includes supporting children and caregivers through emotional, behavioral, and relational concerns, while collaborating with families to strengthen communication, coping skills, and overall well-being.

In addition to my work with children and families, I also have several years of experience supporting older adults, including assisting individuals and families with long-term care planning. This work has given me a deep appreciation for the emotional, practical, and relational challenges that can arise during later life transitions, caregiving roles, and decision-making processes.

I am passionate about supporting clients across the lifespan and helping individuals and families navigate change with greater clarity, resilience, and connection.

I’m a dual board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner and Family Nurse Practitioner who is passionate about helping people feel better and function at their best. I provide psychiatric evaluations, medication management, and supportive therapy for concerns such as anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma, grief, insomnia, mood changes, and substance use. My approach is warm, respectful, and collaborative, and I take time to listen without judgment. Together, we will create a treatment plan that feels practical, personal, and supportive.

I understand that the decision to seek help for mental health needs can be a nerve-racking and scary process. When it comes to patient care, I am most passionate about the preservation of dignity and making my patients feel seen. I meet fear or nervousness with acceptance, encouragement, and knowledge.

With over 19 years of counseling experience, I understand how difficult it may be to take that first step to enter therapy. I believe that people are capable of making life changes, sometimes needing support and guidance. Oftentimes, natural supports surround us, we are just unaware of how to tap into them.

If you've ever felt like your brain works a little differently — constantly moving, questioning, or feeling things more deeply than you know what to do with — you're not alone, and you're in the right place. I work with children, teenagers, and young adults who are navigating anxiety, depression, ADHD, OCD, and the pressures that come with just trying to figure life out. Many of my clients arrive feeling overwhelmed, misunderstood, or stuck in cycles of self-doubt and exhaustion. Whatever brings you here, I want you to know that what you're experiencing makes sense — and things really can get better.

Hi there, I'm Gianna! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, providing compassionate and caring therapy. At the heart of my practice is the belief that healing is possible when people feel safe and empowered. I have several years of experience supporting a range of mental health challenges including anxiety, depression, trauma, family conflict, relationship stress, and grief. I also help to explore issues around life’s meaning and purpose.

Additionally, I work with clients navigating stressful life transitions, such as divorce, new parenthood, the death of a loved one, job loss, or an unexpected traumatic event. I take a special interest in those dealing with changes connected to aging, as I have over a decade of experience in the health care field as a hospice worker.
