Dr. Chiara Simeone-DiFrancesco
Psychologist, PhD
Bottom line, I really care. I continually update my psychotherapy tools, and I have learned a cutting edge psychotherapy called Schema Therapy. It has transformed my practice of 33 years. It makes a huge difference when your clinician understands and conceptualizes what's going on and why, and especially can make sense of it to you. Whether it is individual or couples therapy, people have cycles they get into, and get trapped by. You can trace things to unmet needs that happen in the prime developmental stages of life, and traumas that get overlaid on these. This empathic and gentle understanding of yourself and your partner/spouse gives you the leverage to "float above" the typical everyday triggers and learn new coping skills. We can ally together, and not just talk about it, but experience new interactions that may surprise you, and you never thought possible. It is a great joy for me to share this with you and see you get happy! No greater high than that!
