Ginka Vasileva Therapy

I am a postmodern psychotherapist and I believe that people possess the inner strength to heal, to improve relationships, to feel comfortable in their own way, and to become a better version of themselves.

In therapy, I apply a collaborative approach which assumes that the client and the therapist work together in discovering the client’s strengths.

For the last five years, I have worked with youth and their families, couples, and individuals. I embrace the opportunity to work with all ages, genders, and cultures. I’m humbled by people’s desire to improve their wellbeing!

In general, therapy requires effort and consistency in order to be successful. Often people report an initial decline in mood and self-esteem as they begin to work on issues and relationships. With time, as the therapeutic alliance grows stronger, clients report significant benefits such as better communication, improved relationships, better coping skills, a decrease of anxiety, and /or depression.

In the event that the client sees no significant improvement after several sessions, a conversation and review of the client’s goals will follow.  Referral to another competent professional is always a possibility.

Therapy may take place in many different settings.  Depending on the need, people may participate in individual, group, family, or couples therapy. Each mode of providing therapy is determined by individual needs and preferences.

Individual therapy – Often it is a good practice to start working on one’s own goals and issues. Once the individual feels ready to invite the family or a significant other, couples and family therapy are a great way to strengthen family and intimate relationships.

Couples therapy– It is best to seek couples therapy before thought of separation and/or divorce.                    Nevertheless, it is most common to participate in couples therapy in an effort to save a relationship (marriage).          When a couple falls into a vicious cycle of negative communication, couples therapy can help clarify the underlying feelings and issues. Couples therapy is recommended at any stage of the relationship!

Family therapy– people live surrounded by individuals that they call and consider family. Families could have different forms and sizes, but what makes them similar and unique, is that family members always want to best for one another. Family therapy is a great service for those who experience family tension, lack of communication, conflict relationships, problems with addiction, need for parenting skills, and more. Family therapy is the most comprehensive type of therapy, as it allows for work within the entire family system.
