Malgorzata Batko, LCSW
About me
Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 6 years of experience working with clients to find the most effective agents for change. I believe clients are the experts of their own lives, even when they feel lost. I also believe positive and sustained change is rooted in self love and acceptance, and by providing a safe and supportive environment, clients can explore their authentic selves without fear of judgment.
I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, depression, relationship issues, family conflicts, & trauma and abuse. I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment.
Taking the first step to sign up for therapy can take courage, and I am so proud of you for getting started!
