Individual Psychotherapy
Psychotherapy is a process focused on helping people heal and learn more constructive ways to deal with problems or issues within their lives, changing old maladaptive behaviours.
Individual Psychotherapy
Psychotherapy helps people explore and understand their subconscious and unconscious mind to resolve deep-rooted issues.
Psychotherapy allows you to come to a better understanding on “why” certain behavioural patterns occur. What you might experience within the therapeutic process can also be healing. Psychotherapy can take place individually or in couple, and there are many different forms that can be tailored to meet your needs and suggest additional coping mechanisms that you may find more effective.
Key Concepts
It's a partnership
“I work together with my patients in a collaborative and respectful manner implementing therapeutic techniques and relying validated tools helping them to heal and live better and more consciously.
Integrative Body Psychotherapy
I use the Integrative Body Psychotherapy (IBP) approach to understanding and responding to each patient in the context of his/her own personal history, family history, needs, resources, background and culture.
Assessment, Treatment Plan, Service, & Support
My assessment, treatment plan, service and support, and quality of life outcomes are all tailored to respect the uniqueness and dignity of each patient of mine.”
Integrative Body Psychotherapy (IBP)
IBP integrates psychological, physiological and body-mind theories, and practices such as Psychoanalysis, Object Relations Theory, Gestalt Therapy, Bioenergetics, Transactional Analysis, as well as Somatic Psychotherapy techniques, allowing to integrate the body experience within the individual transformational process. A person’s thoughts, feelings, sensations, attitude and belief system all have an impact on the physical well-being of that person.
Many people are in a constant state of stress, worry and high anxiety. They have internalized a state of ongoing emergency that gears their nervous system to be constantly prepared for “fight or flight”. They feel constant chronic stress even in situations of great outer peace and tranquillity. These unbalanced and dysfunctional body-mind states not only limit functions such as the immune system, sexuality, and digestion, they also block the ability to think clearly and feeling good. Without effective body-mind-spirit intervention, people stay fragmented, unstable and prone to faulty projections, old and maladaptive automatic behaviours.
Dr Rita integrates somatic techniques into her practice to guide her clients towards their inner and outer resources with mindfulness, body awareness, breath awareness and body-oriented tools. Clients can then explore options for resolving emotional and physiological patterns when the body-mind connection has become imbalanced.
