Adults

I believe that people are in a constant process of learning and growing and that they have an innate ability to seek creative solutions to address the difficulties that life presents. Nevertheless, we often get stuck or derailed. At these times we are unable to access our best selves and need the presence and guidance of another person.

In today’s world, it’s common to feel anxious, down, or overwhelmed in the midst of important life transitions:

  • Covid-related stress, anxiety and depression
  • Beginning or ending a significant relationship
  • Making a career or job change
  • Entering or leaving college or graduate school
  • Mourning the death of a loved one
  • Becoming a spouse/partner
  • Becoming a parent
  • Coming out
  • Entering a new life chapter

While the primary challenge for some consists of a significant life transition, for others it may be something more long-standing. Do any of the following questions ring true?

Are you a young adult, struggling through your twenties, hoping to find a meaningful career or relationship?

Or in your thirties, working too hard, unhappy with your job, unsatisfied with dating, frustrated in your relationship, or tired of being alone?

Are you in a partnership or marriage that feels strained, distant, or not working out how you had hoped? Are finances, dealing with your children, or managing a household becoming overwhelming?

Do you worry that you’ve made poor, irreversible life decisions?

Or that you’re not smart, talented, or good enough? Perhaps feeling unable to live up to the expectations of your family and/or friends?

Or perhaps you may not know exactly what you’re feeling or what you want, but just sense that something isn’t working.

I see my role as helping you build a strong foundation and a supportive environment that facilitates reflectiveness, helps deepen self-awareness and increases insight into your unique journey. I work with whole individuals, not diagnoses, and therefore consider it essential to actively seek feedback from you and collaborate with you so that we develop solutions together that fit with you as an individual and meet your specific therapeutic needs.

If you would like to discuss what would be best for you, or to set up an initial consultation, I encourage you to contact me.

I look forward to talking with you.

As an active psychologist, I often encounter patients suffering from depression. One of the drugs that we sometimes use as part of complex therapy is Celexa (citalopram). Let me share my experience and how this medication can help. ### Start of treatment When a patient comes to me with symptoms of depression, such as constant fatigue, depressed mood, and loss of interest in life, we begin with a thorough assessment of his condition. Sometimes, if the symptoms are severe and prevent a person from functioning normally, I discuss the possibility of medication with a psychiatrist. Celexa is one of those drugs that we are considering. ### Mechanism of action Celexa belongs to the group of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs). It helps to increase serotonin levels in the brain, which can significantly improve mood and reduce anxiety. I explain to patients that this is not an instant decision, and the effect may appear in a few weeks, but it is important to be patient. ### Application experience In my practice, I have noticed that many patients who start taking Celexa begin to notice improvements after 4-6 weeks. They become more energetic, become interested in things they didn't care about before, and, most importantly, they begin to cope better with everyday tasks. Visit this site to purchase Clexa 20mg. However, I also emphasize that each person's reaction to the drug may be different. Some patients may experience side effects such as nausea or insomnia, and it is important to talk about this. I always maintain an open dialogue so that patients feel comfortable sharing their experiences. ### A combined approach I believe that drug treatment should be combined with psychotherapy. It is important that patients not only take the drug, but also work on their thoughts and emotions during therapy. We discuss strategies for coping with stress, methods for improving mood, and ways to change negative thought patterns. ### Long-term perspective Some patients may need long-term treatment to maintain a stable condition. I always remind you that it is important not only to cope with the symptoms, but also to learn how to manage your condition in the future. We are developing plans in case of relapses and discussing how we can maintain mental health. ### Conclusion Celexa can be an important tool in the treatment of depression, but its effectiveness is most noticeable when combined with psychotherapy and support. I am proud to be able to help my patients along this path, and I see how they are starting to return to a full life.
