Book a therapist or psychiatrist in New Haven, CT covered by Cigna

Hi, I’m Peter, and I’m really glad you’re here! I believe therapy should feel safe, supportive, and human — not intimidating or clinical. I have training in Mental Health Counseling and experience supporting people with trauma, anxiety, depression,ADHD, relationship challenges, and major life transitions. I work at a pace that feels right for you, and my goal is to create a space where you feel heard, understood, and never judged — just supported as you work toward feeling better.

I am an LCSW with years of experience working with teens and adults helping them navigate managing stress, gain coping skills, and family conflict. I am here to work with you to conquer whatever goals you'd like to achieve.

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.

With two master's degrees and 10 years of clinical experience, I have had the opportunity to work with individuals, couples, and families across a wide range of concerns and life circumstances. While my clinical background is broad, my primary focus and passion has been working with adults navigating substance use and recovery. I believe meaningful change begins with understanding yourself—your experiences, patterns, strengths, and the beliefs that may be shaping how you navigate life.

Therapy should be a place where you feel safe to be honest, vulnerable, and fully yourself. I strive to provide a warm, non-judgmental environment where you can openly express and process your experiences while also being challenged when needed. My style is direct yet compassionate, flexible, and responsive to where you are in your journey.

Whether you are working through substance use, relationships, difficult life experiences, or simply trying to better understand yourself, my goal is to help you develop greater self-awareness, strengthen your sense of self, and build the tools necessary to create meaningful and sustainable change.

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 am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) with training in adult outpatient psychiatry and telehealth. My background includes psychiatric evaluation and medication management for adults with anxiety, depression, mood-related concerns, ADHD, trauma-related symptoms, sleep difficulties, and stress or burnout. I take a supportive, collaborative approach focused on clear communication and shared decision-making. Evening appointments are available.

Have you ever felt like you’re doing your best to hold everything together, yet inside you feel overwhelmed, emotionally exhausted, or misunderstood? Maybe you overthink, shut down, react before you have time to process, or find yourself repeating patterns you know are no longer serving you. Anxiety, depression, intense emotions, difficult relationships, and life transitions can leave you feeling disconnected from yourself and unsure of how to move forward. Therapy can be a place to slow things down, explore what’s happening beneath the surface, and begin finding a healthier way forward.
