Individual Psychotherapy

The way individual psychotherapy is conducted depends on the uniqueness of each psychotherapist-client pair. Nevertheless, psychotherapy is a very specific process. Despite the existence of numerous systems of psychotherapy, the process of psychotherapy has several distinct characteristics.

* It is a systematic treatment
* It is aimed at change and growth in a client or elimination of a client's suffering
* It involves a professional relationship

An authentic, open, and trusting relationship between a client and a therapist is crucial for psychotherapy to be successful. While often the process of psychotherapy involves a conversation between a client and a therapist, it is fundamentally different from a conversation between two friends. The main differences
are as follows:

* Individual psychotherapy is not a mutual support, typical for friends, but a professional
relationship, aimed at the change in a client's life and elimination of client's suffering
* Individual psychotherapy provides a client with a safe, non-judgmental, and confidential
atmosphere for exploring truths of his or her life

Currently Available Groups

* Shadow of War - for both men and women 18 and older who are experienced emotional trauma of being at any war or has family member who needs support in discovering and accepting "dark", "negative", "unacceptable" sides of themselves
* The Treasures of our life experience- for both men and women 65 and older who emotional
support.

Each of the above groups runs for 90 minutes weekly. Each one comprises from 6 to 8 participants and is closed for new members as soon as it starts running.

Prior to becoming a participant in any of the above groups, each candidate will have a half-hour interview with me free of charge. This interview is essential because it helps determine which particular group is likely to be the best fit for a particular person.

Couple Psychotherapy

A committed relationship between two adults is but one of the relationships in the emotional field of any person. Whether partners are satisfied with their committed relationship or enriched by it is determined mainly by the following factors:

* Who each person is
* What each person wants
* What the patterns of the relationship between two people are
* What the feelings in which the relationship is embedded are

All the above factors could be explored in couple therapy. If couple therapy is successful, both partners will know it, because both will feel better. In particular, they will:

* Perceive their committed relationship as an entity;
* Experience each other in a different way
* Learn emotional acceptance
* Be aware of various patterns of their relationship
* Learn communication skills

In couple therapy, my client is a couple. Therefore, my fidelity is to a couple and not to a particular person. If there is an indication of a need for individual therapy for either one or both partners, I will refer him or her to a colleague for individual counseling.

Oftentimes generalized fear will turn into a full on social phobia which is a much more severe form of the condition that has now become a psychiatric disorder. The signs here in addition to the extreme self consciousness are severe fear and anxiety to go with it. http://www.xanax-effects.com/

Psychotherapy is a general term referring to therapeutic interaction or treatment contracted between a trained professional and a client, patient, family, couple, or group. The problems addressed are psychological in nature and of no specific kind or degree, but rather depend on the specialty of the practitioner.
