Maciek Batorski Family Therapy and Counselling

I first started seeing Maciek at age 16 when I really needed someone but was not really willing to let someone in. My mom brought me to see Maciek and to say the least I was not very excited to be there. Within 5 minutes of being in the office I was made to feel comfortable and welcomed. one of the first things he said to me was " I am not in the business of judging" and I could tell he really meant it. It was not long before I knew that I have found a great support in my life. Maciek listen to me without judgment and challenged me when needed, I was able to really open up and feel safe as I worked through my challenges. After a period of not meeting with him I re engaged for more supports later in life. I am currently 24 years old and am working as a social worker. Maciek taught me so much both in my teen and adult years and I cant say that I would be where I am now without having him in my corner. He inspires me to be a better social worker and has aided me in becoming the person I am today. If anyone is hesitant about seeking services I highly recommend Maciek as he is supportive, understanding, and really listens to you, he has a way of making you feel comfortable and accepted no matter what stage of life you are in. Maciek is a fantastic support and has been very helpful for me as a youth and as an adult.

I have know/been seeing Maciek for several years now. He has met his calling for sure. He's so easy to talk to and offers insightful and useful feedback. He also remembers all of the little things that we talk about so I never have to re-explain things during our sessions. It's like talking to an old friend when I go for my sessions. I am so glad I found him!

I am very happy that I was referred to Maciek. My husband and I meet with him regularly now. Maciek is a very down to earth person yet very sensitive and understanding of others' problems. During the session he gives you his full attention and actually listens to you. The questions he asks are to the point. They make you think in a new way about your old relation :-) . He is passionate about his work. I would recommend him with great confidence to anybody who needs help.

Maciek Batorski: A brilliant and compassionate man, who could not have pursued a more suitable profession.

There are some medical professionals in this world who, in spite of their professions, are far from nurturing. They go about their business with dispassionate devotion, memorizing facts and figures but failing to bring any sort of compassion or humanity into their sessions. But to the opposite end, there are those who truly love what they do, and seize every opportunity to hone and expand upon their craft. Maciek Batorski is such a man. I chose to pay him a visit 2 years ago when my depression was at an all-time low. I was suicidal, self-destructive, and eager to drown in my own darkness. I was nearing the end of a chain of thoroughly unpleasant experiences with various doctors both biological and psychological, and had all but convinced myself that I was truly alone in my struggle for balance, and personal understanding. Reading through his website, Maciek's approach to therapy was what truly caught my eye. His understanding of the value of the relationships we build with one another as a species, and the profound impact they have on our own lives and minds was inspiring. I found his work experience to be so impressive that for the first time in as long as I could remember, I began to feel a sense of hope. I immediately sent him an e-mail, which he replied to the very same day, and within a week I was in his office for my free consultation.
That was two years ago. And when I look back upon the listless young man sitting in his comfortable armchair surrounded by degrees and classic literature while soft jazz permeated the air, I can't help but wonder what might have become of me had it not been for his eagerness to challenge and engage me in ways I had never thought possible. He has always treated me honestly, and with the utmost respect, and it is with all of my heart and mind that I strongly recommend him to any and all seeking a true professional, and most importantly, a friend.

I have never felt comfortable speaking with someone about the constant issues in my life. I thought it would make me weak and vulnerable..... And then I met this lovely man and he has TRULY changed my life!! He has helped me to realize the importance of therapy and that it takes a strong person to reach out and that being vulnerable is an asset to any persons life. I have and am currently sufferering through rough times and I can say that I genuinely look forward to speaking with him each time we have an appointment set up and I ALWAYS leave feeling lighter, happier and more whole as a person. My family has recognized the change he has instilled in me and they are forever greatful for his efforts in my life. Maciek is truly a kind, non-judgmental, inspirational, wise beyond belief and nurturing no-nonsense therapist who I would recommend every person should meet, have a cup of tea with and enjoy the posotive presence he gives!
