Hello and welcome!
I am Ivana (she/her), a psychologist and systemic therapist in training with a PhD in Medical Research. I offer therapy and counseling in English, German, Croatian and related regional languages, both in-person and online. My focus is on promoting emotional health and reducing stress in both personal and professional life. I believe that everyone has the capacity for growth and development. My goal is to empower my clients to overcome challenges they face and achieve their full potential, with an emphasis on promoting respect, empathy, self-compassion, inclusion, and diversity.
My approach
Seeking help can be challenging. Hence, I strive to create a safe and welcoming environment that values and respects diversity. My services are inclusive to individuals from all backgrounds and walks of life. I offer compassionate, resourceful, and personalized support tailored to your unique needs and goals. My therapy style is empathetic, non-judgmental and solution-focused. I integrate evidence-based therapy approaches, such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), systemic therapy, and person-centered counseling, to address the interconnectedness of thoughts, feelings, behaviors, relationships, and environments.
My services
As a mental health professional who specializes in emotional well-being and stress management, I understand the unique challenges people face in different aspects of their lives, especially those in high-stress jobs or living abroad. I can help you with a wide range of mental health concerns, including:
- Overwhelming concerns, worry and fears
- Work-related stress, burnout, and fatigue
- Loneliness, isolation, and grief
- Psychological challenges of chronic health conditions
- Imposter syndrome, feelings of inadequacy, and self-doubt
