Therapist. Mental health advocate. storyteller. Speaker

Hi, I’m Dr. Sylvia Kalicinski

Sometimes I feel anxious, lonely, sad, behind, and overwhelmed.

You too? I’m so glad you’re here.

But it is keeping you stuck, and preventing you from blooming into all you could be. It’s time to do the deeper healing work. I’ll show you how.

Growing up I moved from place to place, living with a series of abusive stepmothers. When my father wasn’t drinking his grief away or fighting with my brother, he was gone for long periods of time. I felt deeply alone.

I didn’t belong anywhere.

My parents came to the U.S. as undocumented Polish immigrants. Later, my mother returned to Poland after her health declined. She passed away from a brain aneurysm when I was three years old. I never got to say goodbye.

I grew up in a complex family system.
