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.
As a licensed clinical social worker with a master’s degree from The National Catholic School of Social Services, I bring extensive experience from my work in university-based teaching hospitals and ambulatory care clinics. My practice focuses on supporting adults and their caregivers through challenges such as anxiety, depression, complex medical conditions (acute and chronic), medical trauma, loss, grief, and significant life transitions.
I have a specialization in guiding individuals and their caregivers through the cancer journey, encompassing every phase—from diagnosis and treatment to recovery, survivorship, and end-of-life care. I have also worked extensively with patients undergoing stem cell transplants, CAR-T and immunotherapy.
My training and experience also includes helping individuals manage disorders of the brain-gut interaction. Support, education and strategies address the connection between the mind and gastrointestinal health. Recognizing that everyday stressors can greatly affect your well-being, I adapt my clinical approach to suit a variety of life situations, always tailoring care to meet your unique needs.
I am a New York and CT Licensed Clinical Social Worker helping adults aged 18 and older handle stressors, depression, stress, anxiety, grief, trauma and loss and develop methods of caring for one’s self.
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.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Fairfield
Finding a therapist in Fairfield starts with getting clear on the type of support you need. Whether you're looking for help with anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or a life transition, choosing a licensed provider who specializes in your specific concerns can make a meaningful difference. Common provider types include licensed professional counselors (LPCs), licensed clinical social workers (LCSWs), psychologists, and psychiatrists — each with different training and areas of focus. Reading a provider's bio before booking can help you understand their approach and decide if they're a good match.
Fairfield County is home to many mental health providers, but narrowing your options can still feel time-consuming. Consider what matters most to you — whether that's a provider who offers Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), someone with experience in couples or family therapy, or a provider who offers virtual sessions so you can fit appointments around a busy schedule. A free phone consultation is another way to gauge fit before committing to ongoing care.
Therapy in Fairfield can be expensive out of pocket, but using your in-network insurance benefits is one of the most reliable ways to reduce costs. On Headway, you can enter your insurance information to see your estimated session cost before you book. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, and many patients pay as low as $0 per visit — making it easier to find a provider who fits both your clinical needs and your budget.
