INDIVIDUAL ADULT PSYCHOTHERAPY
Individual Psychotherapy is a therapeutic process, which promotes mental stability, personal well-being and self-satisfaction. In this process, the psychologist helps the patient to clarify and know their functioning pattern, as well as their own difficulties and to find solutions and new strategies to deal effectively with them.
EMDR
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing
As the name implies, EMDR is a focal and integral method of desensitizing and reprocessing emotionally traumatic experiences through bilateral stimulation of the brain. This innovative practice was developed primarily for the treatment of emotional trauma. However, EMDR is now applied to the treatment of other mental disorders, such as specific phobias, Panic Disorder, Depression, and psychosomatic symptoms.
MATERNAL ATTACHMENT CONSULTATION
The pregnancy and postpartum periods are essential phases in the development of secure attachment relationships between the mother/father and his/her baby. Although these periods are usually considered satisfactory and happy, several difficulties may arise in the performance of the parental role and/or in the relationship established with the baby (e.g., presence of ambivalent feelings). The attachment consultation is aimed at all mothers and fathers who are interested in exploring these issues through specialized psychological support.
SLEEP THERAPY
Sleep Therapy is a psychotherapeutic process whose goal is to promote healthy sleep patterns and treat Sleep-Wakefulness Disorders, such as Insomnia. To do so, it focuses on modifying behaviors and habits, as well as promoting strategies to deal with the thoughts that interfere with restful sleep.
(NEURO)PSYCHOLOGICAL ASSESSMENT
The (Neuro)Psychological Assessment (3 sessions) is a process that uses various valid techniques and tools, with the goal of gathering information about the patient's behavior, personality, and cognitive abilities in order to better understand and intervene.
