About

Magdelena Unger, LICSW, is a Minnesota-based therapist with 10 years of experience supporting adults and couples who want a clearer understanding of what they are feeling and why certain reactions keep showing up. She helps clients slow down, identify patterns, and make sense of symptoms that may feel confusing or overwhelming, especially when they have been searching for answers but still feel unsure.

After building insight into what is happening, Magdelena works collaboratively to create a clear, practical plan for moving forward. Her style is grounded and goal-oriented, with an emphasis on taking steps at a pace that feels manageable. She offers a range of services aligned with each person’s goals, including focused diagnostic sessions to better understand symptom patterns or a potential diagnosis, as well as individual and couples therapy that blends psychoeducation, support, and structured treatment.

Magdelena also provides short-term crisis care, including safety planning after a recent crisis, and can complete a psychological autopsy, which is a comprehensive report for survivors following a death by suicide. She recognizes that starting therapy can feel nerve-racking, and she aims to make the first steps feel more approachable by helping clients clarify where to begin and what support may be most helpful.
