Getting to know Malka Polonetsky

I work with women 21 and older who feel overwhelmed, mentally exhausted, or stuck in patterns they can’t seem to break even when they’ve tried everything. Many of my clients come in feeling frustrated with themselves. They overthink, start and stop things, struggle with follow through, or feel emotionally all over the place. Some describe it as burnout, others as anxiety or depression, and many relate to ADHD style patterns like time blindness, racing thoughts, or feeling constantly on edge. On top of that, they often find themselves repeating the same relationship dynamics and don’t fully understand why. What they want is clarity, relief, and a sense of control, not just temporary coping but real change. That’s where I come in. I’m a Licensed Mental Health Therapist and hypnotherapist, and my approach combines CBT and hypnotherapy to help you understand your patterns and actually shift them at a deeper level. We don’t just talk about what’s happening. We look at why your mind works the way it does and how to change the cycles that keep repeating. Therapy with me is active, practical, and focused. I help you understand your thinking and emotional patterns more clearly, reduce overwhelm and mental clutter, improve consistency and follow through, feel more regulated and in control, and break cycles in relationships and daily life. I also make sure everything we do is explained in a simple and straightforward way so you don’t feel lost or like therapy is dragging on without direction. My goal is for you to leave sessions not just feeling heard, but actually equipped with insight, tools, and a real sense that things can change. You don’t need to have everything figured out before starting. We’ll make sense of it together and create a path forward that feels realistic and doable.
