individual counseling
and EMDR therapy for adults
serving all of Texas and Illinois
via virtual therapy
You don't have to feel quite ready to open up about the things closest to your heart to begin therapy; that comes with building trust in our relationship. What's important is that you're willing to be the truest version of yourself. That's all that is required to engage in courageous conversations.
let's see if we might be a good fit
Hi, I'm Kinga. I'm originally from Poland and moved to Chicago with my family when I was 5. I was just a little girl learning to speak English in a big foreign country. Life happened, and I decided to move to Texas, leaving behind the comforts of home for the unknown. My life experiences allow me to better help with:
adjustment to new situations
-
being a child of immigrant parents
social anxiety
difficult life transitions
I wish I could say that my whole life I've wanted to be a therapist, but that's not the case. I didn't find my passion for mental health until my mid-20s, after changing majors a few times and taking a break between degrees. I almost went into accounting, and then journalism! I'm so glad that my heart landed here. I underwent pressure from society, varying levels of support, and wondering whether I would ever figure out my life. Perhaps the challenges and obstacles in your life have led to:
depression
-
anxiety
strained family relationships
low self-esteem
-
trouble with decision making
I am so passionate about what I do - that's why I started this practice. My experience includes 4 years of providing individual and group therapy in both a hospital setting as well as private practice. Working with folks who had severe mental illness at the hospital was an unforgettable experience that prepared me for difficult but extremely important conversations around:
suicidal ideation
-
self-harm
-
trauma
My unique life experiences combined with my specialized training allow me to help you gain a fresh perspective and unlock parts of yourself that may be hidden.
