Dr. Sylwia P. Hodorek

At times life can be exceptionally challenging and our resilience can be tested. We might have tried everything to feel better and yet find ourselves struggling. Whether the challenge is an unexpected life event, a transition, feeling stuck in our past, unsure about the future, our relationships, or our own personal internal struggle, these challenges can impact our lives and functioning in unexpected ways that even the most resilient person can have difficulties coping with or processing. Therapy can be helpful in addressing life's difficulties and making our emotional pain transformative, and we don’t have to do this alone.

I am a generalist practitioner, which means that I work with various presenting concerns such as anxiety, depression and other mood disorders, relationship problems, identity development, life transitions, immigration related stressors, grief and loss, trauma, and chronic health issues. Presently I work with adults and practice therapy using Cognitive-behavioral (CBT) and Interpersonal Process (IPT) approaches to therapy within a multicultural framework. In my approach to therapy, I aim to help clients explore their lived experience and ways the past has influenced their present and focus on ways they can move forward, resolve conflict, and live a fulfilling life. I also aim to develop a nurturing, authentic therapeutic relationship, in which clients can feel safe yet be challenged, and empowered to create change in their life.
