As a clinician, I enjoy working with everyone in all phases of life helping in building self-esteem, managing addiction, trauma, self-discovery, medication management, anger management, re-establishing one's dreams/purpose, building/strengthening relationships one has with self, partners or family systems.

I have worked with foster children, young adults, primary care staff and patients, those who struggled with substance abuse in a methadone clinic, provided supervision to non-licensed social workers in the hospital.

I welcome the opportunity to meet with you for a consultation to see if working together would be a great match like a grilled cheese or peanut butter sandwich.

Best of luck on your journey to health and wellness.

Therapist

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.

Brittany Busser

Brittany Busser

Therapist

Virtual • Connecticut


I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a Master’s degree in Social Work from Fordham University. My background includes both hospital social work and correctional mental health.

I’ve spent much of my career helping people and families navigate some of life’s most difficult moments—from medical crises and unexpected trauma to serious illness, end-of-life decisions, and mental health challenges. In hospital settings, including the Emergency Department and ICU, I often helped families navigate overwhelming situations, connect with resources, and advocate for themselves and their loved ones.

Working in a COVID ICU especially shaped how I understand stress, trauma, family systems, and empathy. It taught me that when one person is struggling, the entire family can be affected.

I later brought that experience into correctional mental health, where I provide counseling, crisis intervention, assessment, and support.

I work primarily with adults experiencing anxiety, trauma/PTSD, depression, grief, life transitions, and family stress.I bring both professional experience and a very human perspective to therapy, with the goal of creating a space where you can feel understood, supported, and comfortable being yourself.
