IFS Therapy & Psychedelics for Depression, Anxiety & Addiction - (24)

Hello beautiful souls, my name is Teodora Petkova and I am posting on Craigslist with a desire to spread my practice to a wider audience that might not generally come in contact with these sorts of modalities or might not otherwise have access to mental health care. If you are struggling with your mental health and are looking to implement changes and build support please reach out. You do not have to go through life's challenges alone. I hold a Master's degree is in Applied Cognitive Neuroscience and I am trained as an Internal Family Systems practitioner with a specialization in working with working addiction, both behavioral and substance, as well as eating disorders, anxiety, depression and a range of personality disorders. I have been working with individuals worldwide incorporating transpersonal approaches to therapy and plant medicine for the last three years and am currently back in the United States visiting family and friends. The nature of my nomadic lifestyle means that I work independently and am quite flexible in working with individual's one-to-one needs. I hold a professional certificate in facilitating therapy incorporating altered states of consciousness and psychedelics, but I only practice with substances that are legal in the location where my services are being administered. I offer virtual preparation, sitting and integration for Psychedelic Journeys. I do NOT distribute any substances; however, I am able to provide information regarding usage of psychedelics for mental health and dosing recommendations and can provide guidance for deeper inquires. The approach to therapy using Internal Family Systems (IFS) is meant to address the different parts of our psyche in a compassionate and curious manner that allows for emotional safety to emerge and for a deeper understanding as to what those parts of us are needing to feel at ease. In Western Medicine, we are so quick to pathologize individuals who are exhibiting symptoms of distress, sadness and fear. We stick a label onto a "condition" and we proceed to shut out the symptoms with concoctions of pharmaceuticals to numb or distract from the pain. What if there was another way centered on building self-acceptance, love, connection and most of all recognition that you are NOT broken. Symptoms are a warning sign that certain needs are not getting met. Establishing equilibrium in the mind and body can begin with something as simple as being given the space to non-judgmentally tune into your being and receive the loving support of another human being. Please feel free to reach out with any questions, I am genuinely passionate about the work that I do and even if it does not align for us to work together, I will happily provide you with more information which might serve to guide you along your journey towards inner peace. You are worth it. Below is the link to my website if you would like to read more: https://www.meetyourselfanew.com/
