Malgorzata Domagala

My communication style

I communicate with honesty and presence — staying attuned to what you need in the moment. I'm kind, but I'll also be direct, and I won't hesitate to challenge you when it serves your growth.

My journey to mental healthcare

Before becoming a therapist, I spent years working in education. Being bicultural myself, I noticed this pattern across different cultures: people living what Thoreau called "lives of quiet desperation," disconnected from themselves and checked out from their own lives. I wanted to help people reconnect with who they truly are, not just get by.

My goals for you

We set goals together — starting with the strengths and resources you already have, because I know you have them. From there, we decide what to prioritize, whether that's new coping skills, deeper insight, or better communication, and we define what progress looks like for you. I'm not here to tell you what to do; I'm here to help you get there.

Our first session

Your first session will be a bit more structured than the ones that follow, but it's still a conversation, not an interrogation. We'll cover your history and current concerns, talk through your goals, and figure out things like session frequency and what to expect going forward. Most importantly, it's for both of us to see if we're a good fit.
