Personalized Care and Guidance
INDIVIDUAL PSYCHOTHERAPY
Individual therapy sessions are useful to those who want to work on an issue that prevents from full well-being in a one-to-one context, the client and the therapist. The format of the therapy will depend on the request you come to therapy with, so together we will decide the frequency and the extent of the therapy.
When the request is specific and there is no intention to deepen in your character structure, we will plan a more strategic approach, in order for you to feel improvement in the shortest time necessary.
If what you are looking for is a therapeutic process that allows you to deepen your self awarenes and to discover the roots of your symptoms, we will approach the process in a more open way. As we go deeper and you work on yourself, the symptoms will fade and the patterns that seem permanent will be clearer and begin to dissolve.

FAMILY THERAPY
Many times you may feel that it is impossible to seek advice about your family situation or for the problems of your relationship. Remember, however, that none of us took lessons how to be an effective parent or the right partner and we all have only our own parenting models to follow.
With family counseling and couple therapy you will learn to manage the personal or interpersonal issues relating to children and family during marriage or cohabitation, separation and divorce.
In family therapy the focus is on the family as a system, and on the ways that the members learned to interact. The basic principle is that what an individual member of the family makes has an overall effect in the function of the family. The presence of the whole family in psychotherapy is essential; nevertheless counseling to parents is only effective if they themselves are cooperative.
When we decide to sentimentally bind to another person, we tend to place expectations and wishes in the relationship which do not often correspond to reality, or may be very difficult to translate into reality.
