Individual Counseling
Individual Counseling
Is suitable for people with emotional difficulties, or with conflicts that are difficult for them to resolve, such as controlling their mood, reducing anxiety, controlling stress, anger, etc.
The objective is to promote the mental and emotional strengthening of the person to face life in healthier ways. Allow greater understanding and knowledge of himself, his environment and the relationships he establishes with it.
We will begin by working on the therapeutic relationship and analyzing their history to find out the problem to be solved and decide which technique is best suited to work with.
What techniques do we use in this therapy?
EMDR therapy (eye movement desensitization and reprocessing)
Will help you enhance your brain’s natural healing ability to process memories that interfere with your self-confidence, self-esteem, and create a negative self-concept. In addition, this technique will help you clear negative thoughts, emotions and bodily sensations that are related to the past and are affecting you in the present.
This is a protocol created by Ana Gomez, MC, LPC that is designed to work with children, adolescents, and adults. It combines two powerful approaches that make it easy for the story to unfold and process without having to talk about it. This approach involves both the left and right hemispheres of our brain and is very useful for complex trauma. It also works on insertion wounds.
