Services Offered

We offer a range of services, including psychotherapy, psychoanalysis, and telehealth therapy. Our services are designed to help our clients understand and address their problems in living, enhance their personal strengths, and foster more effective and satisfying relationships.

Our psychotherapy services are influenced by Humanistic Psychology, Interpersonal Psychology, and CBASP. These approaches enable us to help our clients explore their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors in a nonjudgmental and supportive environment. By examining their inner experiences and interpersonal interactions, our clients can gain insight into the factors contributing to their problems and develop strategies for change.
