Being a therapist not only involves the training we are provided nor the previous clients with whom we have worked. In my opinion, it involves the humility to allow one's client to feel safe enough to share the most vulnerable parts of their experiences for both of us to feel connected and moving in the same direction. My style of treatment follows my beliefs above. I will be working to put the pieces together that you may be unable to see. Once we have a pattern established, we will go at your speed, perhaps with a light nudge from me, to discover the origins of your issues.
I have many specialties that you can read about at ilanawassermanmft dot com. I can help you heal your trauma and PTSD with Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy and understand/plan for living with chronic or catastrophic illness. I am a Queer, Kink, Poly friendly therapist of color, who lives with the effects of catastrophic illness and chronic illness.
Not all of us are dealt easy Fate cards. It is up to us to find creative and unexpectedly adventuring ways within which to deal with what life appears to have handed us. Join me as we find these ways in which we can turn the Fates in our favor. Using Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy and Internal Family Systems we can find our way toward reintegration.
