Claudia Baluta‑Górecka – online psychiatrist, holistic and integrative approach

I am a specialist in psychiatry and have been working with patients since 2006. I conduct online psychiatric consultations with adolescents aged 13 and older, adults, and elderly people – from all over Poland. On a daily basis I help with mood disorders, anxiety, insomnia, schizophrenia, ADHD in adolescents and adults, dementias and difficulties related to chronic stress and life crises.

Why holistic psychiatry

I combine classical psychiatry with a holistic and integrative approach – I pay attention not only to psychological symptoms but also to the body, sleep, lifestyle and family situation. In my work it is important that the patient and their loved ones understand what is happening in the nervous system and what treatment options are available – not with promises of miracles, but with a clearly discussed plan of action.

Clinical experience

I completed my specialty training at the Central Clinical Hospital in Łódź, working on highly specialized wards with various profiles. I gained experience among others. at the Provincial Specialist Hospital in Zgierz (on-call shifts in psychiatric wards, the detoxification and addiction treatment ward, as well as consultations in the emergency department (SOR) and somatic wards), at the Jaś i Małgosia Foundation (diagnostics of pervasive developmental disorders, including the autism spectrum) and at the Specialist Psychiatric Health Care Team in Łódź, where I worked on the diagnosis and treatment of mental disorders in children and adolescents.

Qualifications and authorizations

I have completed among others. a course in forensic psychiatry and medico-legal psychiatric assessment, a family therapy course, trainings in cardiopulmonary resuscitation (BLS, ALS) and trainings in psychotherapy, including sessions of psychodynamic psychotherapy. I am authorized to issue prescriptions (including reimbursed ones), to issue medical leave certificates ZUS ZLA (L4) and medical certificates. I continually update my knowledge based on guidelines, algorithms and conferences, which ensures that my medical practice complies with current standards.

I am a certified yoga instructor — RYT 500 — and an instructor of yoga nidra and relaxation techniques. I have been involved in personal development for over 20 years.

Who I most often work with

I work with adolescents aged 13 and older, adults and elderly people, particularly entrepreneurs, founders and people in senior positions who are overloaded with stress. I also support people with chronic mood disorders, anxiety, insomnia, schizophrenia and dementias — always taking into account the whole context of the patient's life.

I care for people with ADHD / ADD — adolescents aged 13 and older and adults who are seeking reliable diagnostics and a comprehensive treatment plan (pharmacotherapy, psychoeducation, work with the nervous system)
