Elena Kisel, Counselor, HKPCA, BSCH
Bio-Psycho-Social Therapeutic approach.
“Recovery or any behavioural change may start from a place where the person’s brain has become altered chemically and anatomically, emotional systems feel out of control, physical sensations distorted, cognitive thinking shut down and is overtaken by reward system: everything oriented around trying to feel normal.
Individualised Therapy.
Aimed to meet you wherever that is for you, today. I believe in realistic goal-setting with flexible outcome expectations which work for you, and evolve, guided by the process of Change.
Underlying Issues and Dual Diagnosis
Many individuals who develop undesired behavioural coping, like Eating disorders or Substance use, often do so in an effort to cope with other mental health issues. I often see high rates of comorbidity with anxiety disorders, including PTSD, ADHD, as well as depression and bipolar.
