Prenatal and postpartum therapists & psychiatrists in Stamford, CT

You can have a positive mindset with SOLUTION-FOCUSED THERAPY. Feeling worried, or your thoughts race, your sleep is off, or you get that feeling in your stomach? At times we get frustrated enough with someone that it affects your work, family life, or health. I know how it sucks to be questioning, stuck, and worked up with tension and concern. Then, self-doubt creeps in--but it doesn’t need to be like that anymore. If you’re curious how to get things calmer, under control, and feel more self-assured, I’m here as a confidant who listens deeply AND offers tools that really work. You CAN increase confidence!

I utilize a holistic approach that combines counseling, coaching, art therapy, and mindfulness practices.

Therapy can help if... You are an adult or teen struggling with life challenges, difficulty managing emotions, behaviors or negative thoughts, lacking support or have a dysfunctional family or relationship. You are a mom or a dad experiencing depression or anxiety during pregnancy or after your child's birth.

You are feeling so overwhelmed and in pain that you can't see a way through and are considering suicide. Deciding to try therapy can be a life changing decision. Making a commitment to doing the work of therapy with the guidance and support of a therapist can lead to amazing results.

If I can help, let me know!

There are times in life when we feel stuck, lonely, anxious, or disconnected from ourselves. While these experiences can be painful, I believe they often serve as powerful catalysts for growth, healing, and transformation. Earning your trust and helping you establish a secure, empowering baseline for your care is an honor I hold deeply. Over my five years of practice as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I have found profound meaning in supporting adults and couples through their most difficult moments. I specialize in helping clients navigate anxiety, depression, eating disorders, OCD, and trauma. I am also fiercely committed to providing affirming care for the LGBTQIA+ community, offering a safe harbor for those seeking an inclusive, sex-positive space. It is a privilege to support people as they develop greater self-awareness, strengthen their resilience, and move toward a more authentic version of themselves.

For over 20 years, I have had the privilege of sitting with people through some of life's hardest moments: depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, and the pain of racism and loss. My goal is to build a real connection with you, so you never feel alone in figuring this out. I'm here to support you on your journey of self-exploration and personal growth.

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 board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner dedicated to helping individuals feel heard, understood, and supported throughout their mental health journey. I provide compassionate, individualized care for adolescents and adults experiencing concerns such as anxiety, depression, ADHD, PTSD, OCD, bipolar disorder, and other mental health challenges.

My approach combines comprehensive psychiatric evaluation, medication management, and evidence-based therapeutic interventions. I believe treatment should be collaborative—not simply about prescribing medication. I take time to understand your symptoms, experiences, concerns, and goals so that we can develop a treatment plan that makes sense for you.
