*Action-oriented Therapist* Most anxiety and depression evolve from procrastination, which leads to inaction. I have the ability to help people who are looking to take action on their goals which require behavioral change. Change becomes natural once a person understands their unintentional programming from childhood. I do not prescribe medication; however, I can refer you to a Grow Provider if need be. I'm a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in the state of Massachusetts and I love helping people reach their maximum potential! I spent 23 years in the military travelling the world before I retired and decided to commit the rest of my life toward helping others. I have been providing therapy successfully for over seven years with many successes for clients who are looking to do the work necessary to live their best life. You can read my reviews on healthgrades.com that have been posted by former clients. If you are ready to put in the effort, you will make progress!

As a therapist, I take an integrative and compassionate approach, helping clients navigate life's challenges by developing healthy coping skills. While we can't prevent stressful situations, we can prepare for them by understanding our emotional responses and building resilience. I work with individuals to explore the deeper roots of their struggles, whether it's anxiety, ADHD, or other emotional difficulties, and help them break free from avoidance behaviors that may hold them back from a fulfilling life. My goal is to help clients embrace their unique strengths, manage limitations, and create a safe, non-judgmental space where they can grow, make sense of their thoughts and emotions, and become the best version of themselves.

My name is Krystyna Ksiazek. I live in Massachusetts. I am a Licensed Mental Health Clinician. I have been practicing psychotherapy for 30 years (last 1.5 years at Grow therapy ). Seeing my clients succeed in therapy or their private lives adds meaning to my work. My area of interest is trauma, Complex-PTSD, Anxiety Spectrum Disorders such as Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, Agoraphobia, phobias, Eating disorders, Depression, and Grief. Also, I have experience in the treatment of anger management problems, self-harm behaviors, and dissociative/split personality disorders. I like working with Young Adults, Adults, the Elderly, men, and women. I like to reach out beyond the traditional scope of therapeutic interventions to alternative medicine based on the homeostatic model of health. I want to help clients build self-confidence and optimism and empower them to face new challenges, grow, and succeed as they never imagined. I like to build therapeutic alliances with the clients and create an atmosphere where they know and feel that I am there for them and that I understand and support them. I do not mind spending more time with them if this is clinically necessary. Also, under exceptional circumstances, I allowed clients to contact me on the phone outside of therapy sessions to assist them in coping with extraordinary situations, guiding them when they struggle with using newly acquired skills. I came to the USA from Poland. I had to start "from the bottom". I have been through many ups and downs and painful personal losses, including my mother, friend, and boyfriend, but I never gave up. My resilience, optimism, and positive outlook did not allow me to accept failure. Contrary, it motivated me to try harder. Most of the time it worked.

Hello! I am an experienced Licensed Therapist in 3 states (Tennessee, Kentucky, and Massachussetts) and I am passionate about wellness and providing a non-judgmental and safe space for all individuals. Having compassion and knowledge to help people going through life’s challenges and transitions is truly a privilege for me. Through a strengths-based, trauma informed, and person-centered therapeutic approach a trusting relationship is created to help individuals establish and attain their treatment goals. Watching someone empower themselves to have a better quality of life is the end goal, no matter the situation. Over the years I have held several different positions in the clinical services arena. I have been a Director of Clinical Operations and therapist for residential facilities (120 beds and 66 beds). I oversaw five outpatient clinics as a Clinical Services Supervisor and provided therapy at the clinics. I’ve worked as a therapist and director in Mental Health Courts, Drug Courts, and Veterans Courts. In the end, my true love has always been doing individual and group therapy. I am originally from Nashville, Tennessee. I left to play college basketball at 18. After graduating from Missouri State University with a teaching degree, I moved to Florida to be close to my handicapped older brother. During this time, I feel in love with helping others even more. I went back to school and graduated with a Master’s Degree in Clinical Social Work from the University of Tennessee. I have specialized in trauma work, substance use, and co-occurring mental health concerns. My goal is to support a person find the best version of who they want to be in life. I love watching someone find their best version of themselves and begin living life to the fullest.

Frequently asked questions

Why filter by Massachusetts rather than a city like Boston?

When looking for online therapy, you can see anyone that is credentialed in the state. We want you to find the best fit, therefore, Grow Therapy shows available therapists across Massachusetts from Springfield to Cape Cod! If you’d rather see someone in-person, you can change the filter from virtual and find a therapist near you in Massachusetts.

Will my therapist take Anthem?

Yes! If you use Anthem you’ll be asked to verify your Member ID at the time you book the appointment. However, if you don’t have Anthem you can select cash. Our therapists will have their cost of appointment on their profile. Individual session costs will vary.

How does the Specialty Filter work? Can I find a therapist that focuses on Obsessive-Compulsive (OCD)?

The specialty filter is optional. You don’t need to check any boxes to see a provider. However, fit is very important when selecting an online therapist. If you have knowledge or experience to recognize what specialties you may need. For example, your selected specialty, Obsessive-Compulsive (OCD), is filtering therapists in Massachusetts that work with patients with similar concerns.

Why use Gender, Age, and Identities filters?

Finding a provider with a similar life experience can be beneficial because it can be easier to establish rapport and potentially be understood quicker and clearer.

What to expect during your first session?

Your first therapy session is for you and your therapist to meet each other and to ask any questions that you have about the counseling process. This is where you can expect your therapist to do the same as they will ask questions to gain insight into your specific situation. In this first session the therapist is doing their part to gather as much information so they can better assess if they are able to meet your therapeutic needs.

Depending upon your provider's specialty, you may also discuss the methods the therapist will use. For additional information on therapy methods, please visit the Grow Therapy Help Center. Some people feel nervous before their first appointment, and that is totally normal! Coming prepared with a list of questions for your therapist may help. Remember, you're taking a brave step by seeking therapy, and it is okay to be nervous as you try something new.
