Welcome
to Insight Psychology
In my practice as a psychologist, I integrate various therapeutic approaches to foster insight and personal growth.
-
Using Mindfulness, I help individuals develop present-moment awareness and emotional regulation. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) allows clients to identify and reframe unhelpful thought patterns, promoting healthier behaviors and perspectives.
-
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages psychological flexibility by helping individuals accept their emotions while committing to values-based actions.
-
Schema Therapy delves into deep-rooted patterns and early life experiences, facilitating healing and transformation.
By combining these approaches, I tailor therapy to each individual’s needs, empowering them to create meaningful and lasting change.
