LCSW, 6 years of experience
Hi! My name is Katie Magalnick, I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I received my Masters from Southern Connecticut State University and have been practicing for 6 years. I currently work for the State of Connecticut working with young adults who struggle with addiction and/or mental health issues. In this role, I help young adults navigate the hardships of everyday life while managing with a mental health disorder. My goal is to allow clients to be able to live each day a little bit easier. In doing so, I help young adults identify triggers, coping skills, as well as assist in developing healthy communication skills.
In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions, then discuss goals you have for therapy. We will also discuss when the best days/times are for sessions. I am flexible!
I take pride in my ability to show my clients empathy, honesty, and consistency (also, humor!) In our work together, my hope is to provide a safe space for you. I look forward to helping you become the best version of yourself.
I love working with young adults who are entering into college, navigating new jobs or struggling to identify what they would like to do in life. I believe these individuals often need the most guidance.
CBT can help clients learn how to cope with stressful situations, everyday life nuances, as well as help individuals learn how to communicate their needs better.
