Taima Psychotherapy

When people ask me what therapy is, I like to explain it is like running to a “Taima” - the Venezuelan word for the "home base" in the game of tag: that safe zone where no one can tag you out, where you catch your breath and recoup. It’s also where you could go to find perspective - to collect and steady yourself before jumping back in the game. My practice, Taima Psychotherapy, is a space you can go to when you need to slow down, explore how you feel, find support, recover, and strategize.

I specialize in the treatment of issues related to chronic stress and trauma, and have a special interest on issues related to immigration. I also have experience working with mood and anxiety disorders; and supporting clients through life transitions, grief, relationship difficulties and identity development.

I approach treatment in an integrative way, taking into account a client’s specific needs, background and culture. With my clients, I co-plan science-backed strategies to work towards measurable improvements in wellbeing. You may visit my website www.taimapsych.com for more information. Schedule a consultation if Taima feels like the right home base for you.
