I take a holistic approach to care, drawing upon a range of techniques and treatments to support my clients on their journey towards healing and growth. Thank you for considering I-Depth Psychotherapy for your therapy need
First session
In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions, then dive into the specific challenges you're facing. Then, we I start a psychosocial history interview to learn and know more about your life. These meetings can last for about 2-3 sessions, Then, we will create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions.
Strengths
Having worked with people all ages, made me seek many trainings to address unforeseen situations in people's lives. I am able to help you (a) identify the root cause of your challenges and can set up the course of treatment.
Ideal clients
I love working with individuals who are interested in learning about themselves. Usually my clients are eager to improve, but don't yet have the tools needed to make this goal a reality. They often feel stuck, overwhelmed and anxious and/or have severe difficulties that need to be addressed in a safe environment. My clients often get to trust me and do well in therapy learning about themselves.
Treatment methods
EMDR
With EMDR we explored event in the past that are affecting effective functioning in the present. I used parts therapy as well to process these events and together the even/traumatic event gets reprocessed and desensitized.
Somatic
With somatic experiencing I help others connect their cognitive -thoughts and feelings with their body and unlock the sensations associated with the traumatic / events that contribute to negative states.
Mindfulness-Based Therapy
With Mindfulness -Based Therapy we observed feelings, emotions, thoughts and sensations all together to deeply connect to the self and go deeper.
Cognitive Behavior Therapy for Suicide Prevention (CBT-SP)
With cognitive behavior therapy is used with the parts therapy and explored how we process our thoughts and feelings and sensations.
