About

Hi! I'm Michal...

“I’m overwhelmed. I’m just so tired.” “I didn’t know being a mom would be so hard.” “I don’t want to parent the way I was raised.” “I just got clean and I want to stay clean and sober.” “My PTSD from childhood abuse/DV/traumatic birth gets in the way of my daily life.” These are things my clients tell me when we first meet. I help them heal and feel better. I'm an LCSW in private practice in Connecticut and Massachusetts specializing in working with women, particularly during pregnancy and early parenting. I have experience in trauma therapy, substance use disorders, and co-occurring disorders. I'm a creative, solution-focused, open-minded, skilled social worker who helps clients make life-changing shifts, big and small. In addition to talk therapy utilizing Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectic Behavioral Therapy strategies, I offer Accelerated Resolution Therapy and Ketamine/Psychedelic-Assisted Therapy. Schedule an introductory session with me to learn more, or read on for more information. ACCELERATED RESOLUTION THERAPY I offer Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) for a variety of mental health symptoms including trauma and PTSD. ART is an eye movement therapy in which you change the distressing images you see in your mind to more positive ones in order to address symptoms quickly. It can be done with minimal talking about the trauma, which many people find helpful. You can use ART as a brief intervention, or incorporate ART sessions into your ongoing therapy program. You can learn more about ART at acceleratedresolutiontherapy.com. KETAMINE AND PSYCHEDELIC-ASSISTED THERAPY I am trained in Psychedelic-Assisted Therapy and working with non-ordinary states of consciousness. To address depression, addiction, and trauma, I currently offer preparation and integration sessions for people receiving ketamine treatments that don't include a therapeutic component, as often is the case with ketamine infusion clinics. Soon I will also be offering in-home ketamine-assisted therapy, so please inquire about that if you are interested. Additionally, for harm reduction, integration sessions are available for people who have used a psychedelic substance recreationally, such as psilocybin or MDMA, and desire support after the experience. Please be aware that I cannot advise about the use of illegal substances or sit with people while they use them. SERVICES BY TELEHEALTH OR IN-HOME I offer telehealth and in-home services. In-home sessions have an additional travel fee and are available in West Hartford, East Hartford, Hartford, Avon, Canton, Simsbury, Bloomfield, Farmington, Plainville, Newington, New Britain, Rocky Hill, Glastonbury, Manchester, and Windsor. Services are self-pay. I am happy to work with you to make services affordable. BIOGRAPHY A bit about my background - I graduated from UConn in 2018 with an MSW and in 2019 with an MPH. I have advanced training in Accelerated Resolution Therapy and training in Psychedelic-Assisted Therapy through the Integrative Psychiatry Institute. I've been a Lamaze Certified Childbirth Educator since 2009 and currently work on the Lamaze International Advocacy and Collaboration committee. I also am an alumni consultant for the Urban Service Track program based at UConn. I'm an experienced mother of three with skills in working with kids on the autism spectrum and navigating the education system. Previous employment included community health work with pregnant and parenting women with substance use disorders, and Multi-Dimensional Family Therapy for at-risk teens and their families.
