Joanna Mania
I am an experienced cognitive-behavioral therapist (CBT), certified by the British Association for Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy. I have specialized in treating depression, neurosis, phobias, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and behavioral addictions. I have learned to be flexible with people in therapy, as I have treated people from a wide variety of social and cultural backgrounds, and have conducted therapy with people of different races, religions, and sexual orientations. My patients have included wealthy upper-class people, wives of ambassadors, veterans of the war effort in Iraq and Afghanistan, as well as homeless people.
Individual therapy
Individual psychotherapy allows the therapist’s full attention to be focused on the patient in question, as well as the development of a healthy therapeutic relationship that promotes improved self-esteem, psychological well-being and better functioning of the person in therapy in other relationships. This is the best form of therapy for those desiring treatment focused solely on them, during which they can make in-depth analyses of their emotions, thoughts and behavior with their therapist, at an individual pace. I specialized in one-on-one psychotherapy because of the specifics of my previous jobs, as well as my belief, based on clinical research, that this form of therapy is highly effective.
