Krzysztof Staniszewski

PhD in medical sciences, specialist psychiatrist, psychotherapist.

I specialize in:

• comprehensive preliminary psychiatric and psychotherapeutic diagnosis,
• optimizing the therapeutic plan according to individual needs,
• individual work with patients with disorders:

  – neurotic,
  – anxiety-depressive,
  – depressive,
  – sleep disorders
  – adjustment disorders,
  – personality disorders,

   I also assist in crisis situations related to emotional and erotic relationships as well as professional work. I diagnose, treat, and support individuals experiencing difficulties identified as stemming from the ADHD spectrum. I specialize in comprehensive help for individuals affected by mental disorders related to war, political, and economic emigration.

   I have extensive diagnostic experience, which includes over 15 years of work at the II Department of Psychiatry of the Medical University of Warsaw – the Clinical Center for Mental Health at Bródno Hospital. I gained experience in clinical work in various departments: 24-hour, day, mental health clinic, and the Community Treatment Team. For several years, I served as a specialist consultant for the Hospital Emergency Department and other hospital wards at the Clinical Center for Mental Health at Bródno Hospital. I also have over a decade of experience working as a duty doctor.

   I was also a research employee at the Medical University of Warsaw and the author of several publications in the field of psychiatry. Since 2004, I have trained in psychoanalytic psychotherapy (including within the Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy Study – a program accredited by the Polish Society for Psychoanalytic Therapy, at seminars by Wojciech Hańbowski).

   I enrich my psychotherapeutic workshop with an integrative approach – I completed a four-year training in integrative psychotherapy at the Institute of Health Psychology – a school accredited by the Polish Psychiatric Society, the Polish Psychological Society, and the Polish Association for Integrative Psychotherapy.

   Since the beginning of my clinical career, I have conducted educational activities (lectures, seminars, exercises) for students at the Medical University of Warsaw and the Higher School of Social Psychology in the fields of psychiatry and behavioral sciences, both in Polish and English. Since 2016, I have worked as a lecturer in the Warsaw International Study in Psychology at the University of Warsaw. I am a graduate of the Medical Academy in Warsaw.

   In my daily life, I enjoy a variety of sports activities: jogging, cycling, swimming, fitness, horseback riding, windsurfing, skiing, preparing delicious dishes from various world cuisines, good literature, good cinema, and above all, meetings and energetic-intellectual contacts with valuable and inspiring people.
