Services
Psychotherapy
Our psychotherapy services use psychodynamic approaches to address depression, anxiety, and trauma. Sessions focus on understanding unconscious patterns and improving emotional regulation through 45-minute sessions. This treatment helps clients achieve lasting changes by exploring past experiences and current relationships.
Couple Therapy
Designed for relationship conflicts, our couple therapy sessions help partners understand communication patterns. Using 60-minute sessions, we guide couples through resolving conflicts and building more satisfying relationships by examining both partners' perspectives and needs.
EMDR Treatment
Specialized EMDR therapy addresses PTSD and trauma symptoms through structured protocols. This evidence-based treatment uses bilateral stimulation to help process traumatic memories, reducing their emotional impact while improving self-perception and future outlook.
Group Therapy
Our group therapy sessions create safe spaces for shared experiences. Participants explore relationship patterns and personal growth through weekly 90-minute meetings, receiving peer support while developing greater self-awareness and communication skills in a structured environment.
Therapist Supervision
We provide supervision for mental health professionals using contemporary psychodynamic frameworks. This service helps therapists develop clinical skills through case discussions and theoretical integration, supporting professional growth while maintaining ethical practice standards.
