Specializing in Anxiety Treatment, Depression and Couples Therapy
Anxiety
Anxiety is a normal emotion that everyone experiences from time to time. However, it can become a disorder when it is excessive and persistent, interfering with everyday life. Anxiety disorders can be caused by a variety of factors, including genetics, brain chemistry, traumatic events, and other stressors. Common types of anxiety disorders include generalized anxiety disorder, social anxiety disorder, panic disorder, specific phobias, and separation anxiety disorder.
​
Anxiety disorders are a group of mental health conditions that cause fear, worry, and stress. Symptoms of an anxiety disorder may include feelings of panic, chest pain, and agrophobia. Treatment for anxiety disorders may include cognitive-behavioral therapy, medication, and lifestyle changes. Panic attacks can be managed with relaxation techniques and mindfulness practices. Agrophobia can be treated with exposure and response prevention, which involves gradually exposing yourself to the feared situation. Treatment can also include medications and psychotherapy.
Depression
Depression is a serious mental illness that affects millions of people around the world. It is characterized by feelings of sadness and hopelessness, loss of interest in activities, and difficulty functioning in everyday life. The causes of depression are complex and often involve a combination of biological, psychological, and environmental factors. Some of the most common causes include genetics, a history of trauma, difficult life events, and a chemical imbalance in the brain.
​
Depression is a serious mental health disorder and can present with a variety of symptoms. These may include suicidality, weight loss, anhedonia (inability to experience pleasure), feeling of guilt and worthlessness, and sleep disturbances. It is important to seek professional help if you are experiencing any of these symptoms as they can significantly impact your daily life.

Family therapy can help to improve communication, strengthen family bonds, and resolve conflicts. Couples therapy can help partners to identify and address issues in their relationship, better understand one another, and develop healthier ways of relating.
Stress Management
Stress is a state of mental or emotional strain caused by difficult situations or events. It has become more and more common in modern life due to the fast pace of life and the number of responsibilities people have. Stress is caused by external factors such as workload, deadlines, or relationship issues. It can also be caused by internal factors such as negative thoughts or feelings of inadequacy. Stress can lead to physical, emotional and mental health issues if not managed properly.
​
Stress-related disorders can be divided into two main categories: acute and chronic. Acute stress is short-term and is often caused by a sudden, negative event or situation. Chronic stress is longer-term and is usually the result of prolonged exposure to physical, emotional, or environmental stressors. Both types of stress can lead to mental health issues such as anxiety, depression, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Additionally, stress-related disorders may manifest in physical ailments, such as headaches, muscle tension, and digestive issues. It is important to identify and address the underlying causes of these disorders in order to manage stress-related symptoms and protect overall mental health.
​
At our psychological consultancy, we provide comprehensive therapy to manage stress related disorders. Our therapists use a variety of techniques such as cognitive-behavioral therapy, relaxation techniques, and mindfulness to help clients reduce their stress levels and develop healthier coping strategies. We also offer emotion regulation and problem-solving techniques to help clients understand and manage their emotions. Our goal is to help clients develop the skills to lead a more balanced life and manage their stress in a more mindful and effective way.

Trauma
Trauma is a type of psychological injury that occurs when a person experiences a shocking or distressing event, such as a natural disaster, an act of violence, or a serious accident. Trauma can have a profound impact on a person's physical and mental health, as well as their social life, leading to feelings of fear, helplessness, and guilt. Common types of trauma include physical trauma, emotional trauma, and sexual trauma, each of which can have long-lasting effects on an individual's life. The effects of trauma may include depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder, trouble sleeping, and difficulty managing emotions, among other issues.
​
Our psychological consultancy offers several types of therapy to help individuals overcome trauma and related disorders. This includes cognitive-behavioral therapy, which focuses on identifying and changing negative thought patterns, as well as mindfulness-based therapy, which encourages individuals to observe and accept their thoughts and feelings. We also offer Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), which helps to reduce symptoms associated with trauma and Post-traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). Additionally, we offer psychodynamic therapy, which explores the unconscious mind and its influence on behavior. Finally, we offer supportive therapy to help individuals better understand and cope with their trauma.
Adolescent Therapy
Adolescence is a period of life that is often marked by dramatic physical and emotional changes. During this time, teenagers may experience a variety of challenges, including identity crisis, peer pressure, body image issues and academic challenges. Additionally, they may struggle with mental health issues such as depression, anxiety, and substance abuse. At a psychological consultency, we can help adolescents to effectively manage the challenges of this period, including providing guidance and support to help them develop a sense of self, build healthy relationships, and find success in their academic and personal lives.
Anger Management
Anger is a normal emotion that everyone experiences. It can arise from feelings of frustration, hurt, or fear, and is often caused by a perceived threat. While it is normal to feel angry, it is important to understand how anger can effect our normal life. When anger is not managed properly it can lead to increased stress levels, strained relationships, and other negative outcomes. In extreme cases, frequent and intense anger can lead to physical or emotional harm. It is important to learn how to recognize, control, and manage anger in order to live a healthy and balanced life.
​
​At the psychological consultency, we recognize the importance of managing anger. We suggest a few steps to help manage anger. Firstly, recognize the signs of anger, such as feeling tense or irritable. Secondly, try relaxation techniques, such as taking deep breaths, to reduce the intensity of the emotion. Thirdly, consider the consequences of expressing anger and think before reacting. Finally, use problem-solving skills to resolve the situation. With our help, you can learn how to manage your anger in a healthy way.
Child Psychology
Child psychiatry provides diagnosis and treatment for a variety of mental health issues in children and adolescents. Common types of disorders of child psychiatry include mental retardation, developmental disorders, speech disorders, learning disabilities, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, mood disorders, and anxiety disorders. Mental retardation is a condition in which a child has an intellectual disability that prevents them from functioning at an expected level. Developmental disorders refer to a wide range of conditions that affect physical, cognitive, and social development. Speech disorders include conditions that impair a child's ability to produce and understand language. Learning disabilities make it difficult for a child to process, store, and recall information. Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder is a chronic condition that affects a child's ability to concentrate and control their behavior. Mood disorders, including depression and bipolar disorder, can affect how a child feels and behaves. Anxiety disorders are mental health disorders that cause intense fear, worrying, and physical symptoms.
​
​At our psychological consultency, we offer a range of therapies to treat child psychological disorders, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Psychodynamic Therapy, and Family Therapy. We also provide supportive therapies such as play therapy, art therapy, and psychotherapy. We believe that through these treatments, children can learn to cope with their emotions in a healthy manner, and ultimately gain control over their lives.
Substance Abuse
Substance abuse related disorders are characterized by a pattern of substance use that leads to significant impairment or distress in a person's life. These disorders can have long-term physical and psychological effects, such as increased risk of heart disease, depression, anxiety, and paranoia. Substance abuse can also increase the risk of accidents and injury, lead to financial and legal problems, and cause conflicts in relationships. With the help of a mental health professional, individuals dealing with substance abuse related disorders can learn effective coping strategies and develop a plan for recovery.
