About Sylwia Wielgosz

Sylwia Wielgosz is currently offering text-only sessions through the platform. They bring 14 years of clinical experience supporting people in recovery from complex trauma, including the effects of socioeconomic and spiritual oppression, pressures of cis- and hetero-normativity, and the aftermath of causing harm.

Their subcultural competence includes work with BDSM communities, polyamorous relationships, and occult practices. As an LMHC, which stands for Licensed Mental Health Counselor, they rely on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide the work.

Sylwia provides psychoeducation about mental health, validates and affirms clients, and supports people in reclaiming their power. They collaborate with clients to set clear tasks and goals and consistently address those priorities throughout treatment. Together they devise plans to improve quality of life, strengthen relationships, build self-soothing skills, and increase accountability.

The overarching aim of their practice is practical and measurable progress. Sylwia views therapy as a process of developing understanding and new skills so that clients eventually use an individualized blueprint for living that supports ongoing well-being.
