Play Therapy for Children

For younger clients, Malvina offers play therapy. This form of therapy is particularly beneficial for children who may find it difficult to express their emotions verbally. Play therapy allows children to work through trauma or emotional struggles in a creative, non-verbal way.

Psychological Assessment

Dr. Bartmanski offers psychological testing to assess cognitive skills, personality characteristics, and emotional functioning. These assessments can provide valuable insight into an individual’s mental health and are used to inform treatment plans.

By addressing the emotional aspects of these physical health conditions, Malvina helps clients manage their symptoms and improve their overall well-being.
