Change is one of the most difficult things in our life. At the same time, change is what we need when we are stuck in the loop of self-defeating patterns, feel hopeless, isolated and resentful. As a psychologist, my role is to help you to initiate change and, thus, to help you to find freedom and meaning in your life. One of the main objectives of psychotherapy is to address emotion dysregulation that causes suffering, dysfunctional symptoms and distress in people. I have extensive training and experience in cognitive-behaviour therapy (CBT), emotion-focused therapy (EFT), cognitive-processing therapy (CPT), and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT). However, for the past 2 years I have been training and practicing almost exclusively Intensive Short-Term Dynamic Psychotherapy (ISTDP). Intensive Short-Term Dynamic Psychotherapy (ISTDP) is accelerated form of psychotherapy designed to rapidly uncover and resolve deep emotional and psychological difficulties. ISTDP is based on the principle that an intellectual grasp of one’s problems is not enough to cure them. ISTDP is designed to work on a deeply experiential level, and transformative change often occurs in a relatively short period of time. In fact, ISTDP is frequently used to treat people whose persistent symptoms have not resolved in the course of other therapies or with medication. We provide treatment for a variety of anxiety, mood, and trauma-related disorders, including panic disorder, PTSD, generalized anxiety disorder, depression, specific phobia, insomnia, mind-body conditions, etc.
