Karina Polonskaya MMHC 1720 East 14th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11229

"I had a session with Karina Polonskaya that left a deep impression on me. It was a conversation that helped me to look at my situation differently, and as a result helped me behave differently in a challenging situation. Karina's approach was direct and helpful. I had an impression that she sincerely wanted to help. That for sure was one of the factors that helped me to open up, and be receptive in our exchange. Karina made me feel safe,and at the same time she caringly challenged me . Thank you ,Karina!"

"Working with Dr. Polonskaya has significantly impacted my life in a positive and constructive manner. Through her ability to cut through the noise and get to the core of the issue, she created a very safe environment in which to have direct conversations and experience growth. To anyone interested in seeing Dr. Polonskaya, I would highly recommend her."

"I was referred to Karina by a friend. Until now, I have been mainly working with American therapists, and it was when I met Karina I realized how much was being lost in translation. Having a therapist with a common background and language has fast-tracked my progress, and Karina's straightforwardness suits my cultural communication style. In only a few sessions, I have achieved trust and understanding that other therapists couldn't provide. Thank you, Karina, for your experience, kindness, and guidance during a difficult time, and I look forward to continuing to work with you!"

"It is crucially important to find the right specialist to work with but i think I found it from the first sight. I came from culture where visiting psychologist is not socially acceptable norm so took me years of fighting anxiety, depression and issues before I have turned to the specialist. Karina profile caught my eye because she has broad specialties focusing in women's problems, family issues, depression, weight struggle, etc. From the first session we clicked and I felt releaved with many issues I was dealing with. I continue having sessions with Karina where we discuss and review difficult life scenarios. I finally started to appreciate myself first before taking care of others. She is very knowledgeable and pleasant to work with. She is awesome specialist."

"Even though Karina Polonskaya has started working with me relatively recently, it is clear to me that she is a knowledgeable, experienced, and insightful psychologist. Our sessions certainly bring good results. She has uncanny ability to discover patterns of behavior and thought process that prevent me from achieving my goals. These patterns have become a second nature and would be extremely difficult to impossible to detect on my own without Karina’s professional assistance. Karina offers me an abundance of alternative ways of thinking and behavior that work very well when it comes to communicating with people and achieving my life goals."
