Questions
What mental health conditions do you treat?
I specialize in treating depression, anxiety disorders, PTSD, trauma-related conditions, and interpersonal relationship challenges using psychodynamic therapy approaches.
Do you work with athletes only or general clients too?
While I have Olympic-level sport psychology expertise, my practice primarily serves general clients with emotional and psychological challenges alongside athlete-specific performance enhancement.
Are virtual therapy sessions available?
Yes, secure Skype consultations are available for clients worldwide, maintaining the same therapeutic quality as in-person sessions at my Boca Raton office.
What therapeutic approach do you use?
My practice centers on psychodynamic therapy, focusing on unconscious patterns and childhood experiences that shape current behavior and relationships through long-term exploration.
How often should I attend therapy sessions?
While weekly sessions are standard, I recommend twice or thrice weekly sessions for deeper psychological work to achieve more significant and lasting therapeutic outcomes.
Do you prescribe medication for mental health issues?
As a psychologist, I don't prescribe medication. My approach focuses on psychotherapy as the primary treatment, though I may coordinate care with medical professionals when needed.
