Clinical psychologist

The psychologist's office is a room where you can meet yourself. This is the time that we can dedicate to ourselves and give ourselves a helping hand. I strongly believe that everyone is able to find the strength within themselves to live, experience...simply be!

I provide psychological counseling if you suffer from anxiety disorders, depression, feel hopelessness, loneliness, psychosomatic problems, difficulties in relationships, are in a crisis situation (illness, divorce, death of a loved one, etc.), have low self-esteem or a traumatic life experience, etc.

I conduct psychological research for children, teenagers and adults. I prepare opinions for submission to the commission (State Pedagogical and Medical Commission, schools, medical institution, etc.).

For family support, I provide interventions based on Theraplay ® principles. Theraplay® is a play therapy modality for the child and family to build and enrich attachment, self-worth, trust in others and joyful engagement.

The duration of therapy is from 18 to 24 weeks. The duration of the visit is from 30 to 45 minutes.

Children of any age can engage in Theraplay®, including teenagers.

Theraplay® will help:

  • for foster families and adopted children
  • if the child has experienced trauma or loss, or parental divorce;
  • if the child's behavior interferes with communication with peers and there is difficulty in keeping up with studies;
  • if parents need to promote positive contact with the child;
  • if the parents need support in creating positive "boundaries" with the child.
