Psychotherapy

Cognitive-behavioral (current thinking and actions) is my first approach, then as desired I add resources, based on what is needed to help you, the client:

• Clarify what the issues are and the best approach for resolution
• Understand important situations and your part in it
• Reduce or eliminate your distress
• Resolve a trauma
• Understand a difficult situation and how to make it workable

My aim in psychotherapy is to help you:

• Become aware of:
  • What you want from psychotherapy
  • Yourself: who you are, what you like and want
  • Your self-defeating beliefs and attitudes, and negative traits

• Adjust your negative traits
• Decrease mental health issues and symptoms
  • Depression, anxiety, phobias, fears, etc.

• Dissolve or overcome mental-emotional blocks
• Improve personal and work relationships
• Neutralize traumas
• Practice self-acceptance
• Resolve emotions conflicts and ethical dilemmas

Some coaching work may become part of our psychotherapy.
