Therapists in Washington, DC

Mi specializzo nel trattamento di adulti che soffrono di ansia, depressione, ADHD, stress e difficoltà dovute alle relazioni e alle dinamiche familiari. Aiuto sia individui che coppie nelle loro relazioni e nella crescita personale. Schemi ripetitivi inconsapevoli potrebbero esserti di ostacolo nel connetterti con il tuo sé autentico e vivere una vita appagante. Ma puoi cambiare questo. La nostra terapia insieme sarà un percorso condiviso verso la scoperta di te e il tuo benessere.

Ovunque tu sia nella tua vita, sono qui se vuoi lavorare su qualcosa di te. Inviare quel primo messaggio puo' essere difficile ma anche cosi' empowering! La Psicoterapia cambia la vita. Da venti anni accompagno con successo i miei clienti verso la cura e il cambiamento attraverso un approccio breve strategico integrato ad orientamento umanistico con focus sull'Analisi Transazionale (AT).

My therapeutic approach is centered on fostering an optimal environment for clients—a space conducive to uncovering fresh perspectives and effective solutions. My practice is characterized by an integration of techniques, including biofeedback, mindfulness, CBT, and EMDR, aimed at delivering a targeted and personalized experience. The foundation of my approach is rooted in Systems Theory, incorporating Family Systems and Person-Centered approaches. I'm bilingual (English and Italian) and my work focuses on life transitions, relationship challenges, anxiety and stress management, grief, loss, and trauma.

In my practice I am guided by the belief that change is possible and that every person has the capacity for healthy growth and development but may at times need help in accessing inner resources for positive change. I believe a therapist-client relationship that is characterized by empathy, curiosity, acceptance and caring is what facilitates the therapeutic process. I aim to provide an environment where my clients feel safe and free to explore their feelings, thoughts, needs and goals - an environment where we can work together at understanding what is keeping them from living a more fulfilling life.

I specialize in using videotherapy to help you reclaim your peace, your motivation, and your confidence. Feeling stressed, stuck, or overwhelmed drains your joy and throws your life off balance. Therapy can help! My style is warm, non-judgmental, and flexible. Having lived in three countries on two continents, I have experienced a wide range of cultural backgrounds and I use that experience in therapy. My approach is informed by my research and my constant study of the latest developments and findings on diagnosing and treating behavioral, cognitive, and emotional distress.

Visit my website: drbonafina.com Navigating life's obstacles can be overwhelming. People start therapy for different reasons. Sometimes people come in to see me during a period of transition -starting or ending school or work; moving to a new city; beginning or leaving a relationship-. At times, people feel stuck, frustrated, uncertain, or slightly out of step. Maybe you may find yourself hitting the same walls in friendships or relationships repeatedly. Perhaps you feel lost or you long for “something more” but have no clue what’s missing. I will work with you to help you find what you really want and deserve for your life.
