Are you looking for Psychological Reports for Immigrants? You are in the right place. I specialized in writing psychological Reports for the past 30+ years. Graduated from NYU. I work with many lawyers around the United States. Born in Brazil, I have lived in the United States for 30 years. Experiences of immigration, exile, and displacement bring on emotional and social challenges that can be overwhelming. My professional and personal knowledge of multinational identity makes me especially sensitive to issues of cultural selfhood and adjustment.

If you are seeking therapy, you've most likely identified patterns in your life that you'd like to change. The path to this recognition is unique to each person, as is the process of therapy itself. My practice is devoted to helping people express their most authentic, creative selves, and to remain present while navigating life and its transitions. I have worked for over 30 years with people who struggle with addictions and self harm, and who have experienced profound trauma or challenging life stressors.

Being a person is not easy. We are challenged everyday. Feelings of anxiety and depression are part of being a human being. The great skill is learning how to deal with these uncomfortable emotions. We can control how we think and act, but most people need encouragement, support, and knowledge to do this. As your therapist, I can support and guide you through this process. In addition I can teach you how to accept yourself with all your strengths and weaknesses and help you to identify and achieve your goals.

My goal as a psychotherapist is to help you live a deliberate, self-actualized, and peaceful life. We all struggle with anxiety and depression at times. We push people away when we want them close, we act contrary to our best interest and don't know why. I can help illuminate patterns of behaviors and beliefs that impede your ability to reach your potential. Together, we can identify those invisible forces that drive your behavior and cause stagnation, pain, broken relationships, and missed opportunities. I take an anti-oppressive lens and provide space to explore the corrosive impact of external influences (ie: caste, race, gender)

Together, we identify individualized treatment goals that match your needs and desires. From there, we collaborate on designing an unique and individualized path that matches your needs.

My role as a therapist is to create a safe environment for individuals to compassionately explore their journeys and assist them in reaching their full potential. I believe the true value of psychotherapy is gaining insight into ones core self and truly accepting every part of us that makes us so unique. I support the notion that we don't need to be "broken" to need healing, yet we may simply desire the evolution of self.

I bring to my practice a history of having written widely in the areas of gender and sexual identity, and relationships and intimacy. As a therapist, I am committed to listening and collaborating with clients to understand and alter those feelings and ways of relating to yourself and others that may be needlessly constraining and a source of distress and unhappiness.

Sometimes it's difficult to know the full extent of the way our trauma and life experiences have impacted us. We find ourselves repeating certain patterns that we know are not good for us and can't seem to break the chain, we constantly fall into moods and feelings that it's difficult to pull ourselves out of. In deciding to do therapy with me, together we learn how to identify the ways in which your past trauma and life experiences show up in your adult life and begin rewriting your narrative for your future.

I believe that people’s behavior and mind are highly complex and, therefore, require a complex approach to develop self-awareness that translates into sustainable change. The therapeutic process needs time and patience before the shift of perception will be noticed. I understand therapy as fine-tuning between theoretical approaches, patient needs, genuine care, a non-judgmental environment, trust, and collaboration.

Personality Disorders Therapists
What are the common treatment options for personality disorders?
Personality disorders are typically treated with psychotherapy, sometimes in conjunction with medication. Therapy can help people with personality disorders develop skills to tolerate difficult emotions, navigate interpersonal relationships, and solidify their sense of self. Medications can treat symptoms that co-occur with the disorder, such as depression, anger, aggression, and impulsivity.
When to seek treatment for personality disorders?
Even though treatment for personality disorders can be an uphill battle, it’s best to seek help if you suspect that you or a loved one is struggling with one, because personality disorders can create substantial problems in life. Symptoms depend on the specific disorder, but overall signs of personality disorders include consistent difficulty maintaining close relationships, dramatic variations in self-esteem, and an unstable sense of identity.
How long does therapy take for personality disorders?
The timeline for treating personality disorders isn’t as clear-cut as it is for other disorders. Change can be difficult, taking from around one year to five, 10, or more. The key is finding a therapist who has extensive experience treating the relevant disorder. For example, a psychologist who specializes in narcissistic personality disorder has specific communication strategies that allow them to sustain the relationship and be more effective with narcissistic patients.
Can therapy help people with personality disorders?
Research suggests that for those who are motivated to address concerns or interpersonal conflict related to a personality disorder, therapy is far more effective than no treatment, and that most people in therapy see improvements. However, since personality disorders involve entrenched elements of identity, they are less responsive to treatment than are other mental health conditions. Finding an expert who has extensive experience working with a given personality disorder is one factor that increases the likelihood of successful treatment.
