Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

by | Dec 3, 2018

Using cognitive behavioral therapy, we will first focus on several specific situations, in the present, and we will observe the thoughts, the feelings and the behaviours that you apply to adapt yourself to these situations.
Then we will study how you could change your positioning to rediscover freedom of thought or action and which aspects might need an acceptation or a healing process.

If you are struggling with psychological suffering, you may experience several symptoms personally or with people in your environment. At this point, psychotherapy may help. The duration of a cognitive behavioural therapy varies depending on your needs.

When we solicit the supplemental health insurance, we use various diagnoses (for the communication between different health professionals) to define how to help the person at best. In the list below, I specify several fields in which you may recognise yourself.

I regularly have sessions with people suffering from:

  • Anxiety disorders:panic attacks, agoraphobia, specific phobia, social phobia, obsessive compulsive disorders (OCD), post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), generalised anxiety.
  • Mood disorders:depressive episodes, recurrent/chronic depression
  • Eating disorders: Bulimia, Binge eating, Anorexia, Orthorexia, other.
  • Weight problems:overweight, excess weight, obesity, gastric bypass and preparation pre-post surgery, yo-yo dieting.
  • Sleeping disorders
  • Relationships and personality disorders:self affirmation, aggressiveness, impulsivness, avoidance, etc.
  • Sexual dysfunction
  • Adjustment disorders due to:career change, immigration, move/relocation, break-up, birth of a child, outbreak of disease.
  • Burnout, occupational stress
  • Grief and complicated grief
  • Sexual orientation, gender identity and LGBTQ+ questions
  • High sensitivityGiftedadults
  • Other

“Pain is inevitable. Suffering is optional. Say you’re running and you think, ‘Man, this hurts, I can’t take it anymore. The ‘hurt’ part is an unavoidable reality, but whether or not you can stand anymore is up to the runner himself.” Haruki Murakami, “What I talk about when I talk about running”

“Even if you managed to escape from one cage, weren’t you just in another, larger one?” Haruki Murakami, 1Q84.

The sessions are currently covered by mandatory health insurance (basic insurance). To do so, please send the following document to your treating physician: download document.
This document needs to be completed before the first session. It serves as a prescription that will be sent to your insurance.

Individuals with supplementary insurance can inquire with their insurance provider if they still cover the sessions. It is unlikely to be the case currently, even though discussions seem to be ongoing. Basic insurance takes precedence over supplementary insurance.

Individuals who wish to have therapy without a diagnosis and pay for their therapy themselves can do so and contact me for this purpose.
