We meet in sessions to talk about what might have been troubling you for a long time — long before you decided to make the call and come. You may not know the exact issue, but there is a question that lingers: perhaps, “Why does this keep happening to me?” “Why do I keep doing this?” or “How do I know what I really want?” As Jacques Lacan said, “The unconscious mind is structured like a language,” uniquely knotting together your being.
Psychology & Psychotherapy
Therapy
At different points in life, many encounter recurring struggles that make one ask, "Why do I keep doing this?" or "How do I know what I truly want?"
Psychoanalysis
People bring diverse and distinct issues that shape their sessions. Early sessions focus on getting to know these issues and how these emerge. The treatment evolves through speaking, not a fixed formulation.
Anxiety Treatment
Anxiety manifests in various ways: panic attacks, dizziness, constant worry, or a sense of being adrift in life. Lacan describes anxiety as different from fear. Anxiety is more ambiguous, linked to something we cannot quite name.
Psychology Services
Loss & Depression Treatment
We may carry on working, speaking, appearing functional while internally, something has come to a standstill. When everything appears ‘fine’ on the surface, why does disillusionment emerge?
Sexuality, Identity & LGBTIQ
Identity begins in childhood with a misrecognition. We identify with an externally reflected image, such as in culture or a parent's gaze, giving us a sense of being whole, while we are internally conflicted, with fragmented thoughts and bodily experiences.
Therapy for Children
Children face diverse challenges and attentional issues before and after entering school. Changes may manifest behaviourally across a range of domains. Bita offers therapy to children.
Some Thoughts About Therapy
here you'll find research and perspectives on therapy and mental health. My aim is to emphasize that therapy is collaborative in my practice, with a deeply human aspect. Please note that these writings are not intended as a substitute for your own therapy sessions. If you have any question or would like to talk further, I’d be happy to assist you in a session.
