Magdalena Bania


Coming from a marriage and family therapy training background, I tend to view client issues from a systemic and trauma informed lens. I am passionate about helping you learn how to manage your current stressors, process past trauma and give you the tools you will need to lead a healthy and fulfilling life. I want to help you grow and maybe even elevate your self esteem along the way!
I guarantee that you will leave my office feeling at least 1 % better if not more. I like to challenge my clients with self reflective questions, while also being sensitive to their trauma, by going at their pace. I offer integrative therapy services for individuals of all ages, families and couples--premarital & marital counseling--using interventions from prolonged exposure therapy, narrative therapy, motivational interviewing, and structural therapy. I also believe that by taping into our mind-body connection through breathwork, yoga and other mindfulness techniques we are better able to manage stressors or process past trauma. Let me be your guide and start your journey to a healthier you today. Let's figure out together what solutions work for you.
Therapy can be nerve wracking to begin, especially if you have not been in therapy before. My classmates in graduate school were all encouraged to try therapy for themselves as part of our marriage and family therapy training at Drexel University, so we'd know what we are expecting of our clients. Yes, therapy and talking about our fears and our past, and taking accountability, can be challenging, but know that it is designed to help you learn skills to help you manage or overcome anything life throws your way. I will be walking alongside you step by step, and will go at a gentle pace. When I'm not at the office, you can find me at a yoga studio, on the beach or taking a cat nap with my cat Rodrigo.
