Iwona Kaczmarzyk-Kozlowski, M.A., C.Psych.
Registered psychologist in Ontario · CPBAO #6321. Assessment and therapy in Polish and English.
Why this matters
Research suggests therapy in your mother tongue is more effective for early-childhood emotional material and family-of-origin work. But it is not always one-language-wins – for Polish-Canadian clients, moving between Polish and English inside a single session is often helpful.
More importantly: a CPO-registered psychologist can provide formal assessments – psycho-educational, ADHD, gifted – that a psychotherapist (RP) cannot. That distinction often decides whether a child accesses an IEP at school.
Who this is for
- Polish families in GTA and Halton who want their child assessed in Polish or bilingually
- First-generation adults navigating emigration grief, anxiety, burnout
- Polish-Canadians whose English is their second language and who want to talk about important things in the language they think in
- Bicultural families where one generation speaks Polish and the other English
