"Is this for you?"

You don't have to explain yourself in a language that isn't yours

Talking about mental health is hard enough in your native language. In Polish, it often feels impossible — you lose nuance, you lose yourself, and you end up nodding to treatment you don't fully understand.

This consultation is for you if you are:

• An expat or international professional living in Poland and looking for a psychiatrist who will actually understand you

• A Polish professional who prefers English for medical conversations, or who works internationally and wants consistent care

• A parent of a teenager (13+) who is more comfortable speaking English than Polish

• Someone who has tried medication-only psychiatry and wants a more integrative approach

• Someone dealing with burnout, chronic stress, ADHD, anxiety, depression, or insomnia

What makes this different

Holistic psychiatry — more than a prescription

I am a licensed medical doctor and psychiatrist with over 18 years of clinical experience, and I'm also a certified yoga instructor (RYT 500, Bihar School) specializing in Yoga Nidra and Pranayama. That combination is rare — and it matters.

What "holistic" actually means in my practice

1. Evidence-based medicine first
   Pharmacotherapy when it's indicated, following current psychiatric guidelines. I don't replace medicine with yoga — I add tools that support it.

2. Nervous system regulation
   Chronic stress, burnout, and anxiety live in your body. We work with breath, sleep, and daily rhythms — not just symptoms.

3. Your life, not just your diagnosis
   Work, relationships, routines, values. A treatment plan that fits your actual life is the one that works.

4. Integrative tools that have research behind them
   Yoga Nidra, Pranayama, mindfulness, lifestyle psychiatry — introduced only where the evidence supports them and where they make sense for you.

What I treat

What I help with

• Depression and low mood — major depression, persistent depressive disorder, seasonal patterns

• ADHD in adults and teens (13+) — assessment, diagnosis, treatment

• Burnout and chronic stress — especially in entrepreneurs, leaders, and high-performers

• Adjustment difficulties — expat stress, relocation, major life transitions

• Medication review and second opinions — if you're already on treatment and want a holistic perspective

How the consultation works

How a consultation with me works

Step 01 — Book online
Choose a time that works for you through the booking system. Online consultations are available across Poland and internationally

Step 02 — Our first meeting
We talk. About what brought you here, your history, your body, your life. I take the time to actually understand — not to rush you into a diagnosis.

Step 03 — A plan we build together
If medication is indicated, I explain exactly why, what to expect, and what the alternatives are. We also decide what non-pharmacological tools might support you — sleep, breath, routines, referrals to therapy if needed.

Step 04 — Follow-up and ongoing care
Psychiatry is not a one-visit fix. Follow-ups let us adjust, refine, and make sure the plan is actually working for your life.

About me

About Dr. Claudia Baluta-Górecka

I'm a medical doctor specializing in psychiatry, and the founder of Holistica. I've been practicing for over 18 years — first in hospital and clinical settings, now in my own integrative practice.

My work sits at the intersection of clinical psychiatry and mind-body medicine. I studied yoga seriously (500-hour RYT certification at the Bihar School of Yoga, with specialization in Yoga Nidra and Pranayama) because I kept seeing patients who needed more than a prescription to actually get better.

I work with adults and teenagers (13+), in English and Polish, online across Poland.

• MD, specialist in psychiatry

• 18+ years of clinical experience

• Certified yoga instructor (500h RYT, Bihar School of Yoga)

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: Do I need a referral to book a psychiatric consultation in English?
No. In Poland, you do not need a referral to see a private psychiatrist. You can book your first consultation directly.

Q2: Can I get an e-prescription during an online consultation in English?
Yes. As a licensed medical doctor in Poland, I can issue e-prescriptions during online consultations, including for medications that require a prescription. You'll receive the prescription code by SMS or email.

Q3: Is an online psychiatric consultation as effective as an in-person visit?

For most concerns — depression, anxiety, ADHD follow-up, medication management, burnout — yes. Research consistently shows that telepsychiatry is clinically equivalent to in-person care for most adult outpatient issues. For some situations (for example, a first ADHD assessment or complex diagnostic work).

Q4: Do you see expats and international patients living outside Poland?
I see patients living in Poland without restrictions. For patients based outside Poland, please contact me before booking — there are legal and practical limitations (especially regarding prescriptions across borders) that we need to discuss first.

Q5: What is "holistic psychiatry" — is it evidence-based?

Yes. Holistic (or integrative) psychiatry is mainstream clinical psychiatry that also considers lifestyle factors — sleep, nutrition, movement, breath, stress regulation — as part of the treatment plan. I follow evidence-based pharmacological guidelines first, and I add non-pharmacological tools only where research supports them.

Q6: Can I see you if I'm already in treatment with another psychiatrist?
Yes. Many patients come for a second opinion, a medication review, or for ongoing care with a more integrative focus. Bring your current treatment plan and any recent blood work or diagnostic reports.

Q7: Do you treat children under 13?
No. I work with adolescents from age 13 and with adults. For younger children, I can recommend colleagues.

Q8: How much does a consultation cost?
550 zł- for the consultation for adults.

Payment is made online at the time of booking.

Q9: What should I prepare before my first visit?
If possible: a short note about what brought you here, any previous diagnoses, current medications (including supplements), recent blood work if you have it, and one or two questions you want to make sure we cover. If you don't have any of this — that's also fine. Just come.

Q10: Is the consultation confidential?
Absolutely. Medical confidentiality is protected by Polish law and by EU GDPR. Your records are stored securely on the MediFile medical platform, encrypted and accessible only to me.
