LICENSED RACHEL I. BIGIO

 

 

 

 

BILINGUAL PSYCHOLOGIST

Bilingual English-Spanish (knowledge of French) licensed clinical psychologist.

Adults, teenagers. Families & groups. Different techniques/methods according to patients needs, using an integrative approach.

In case of focused and specific concerns and/or symptomatic situations, I work with short-term therapy in order to erradicate the symptom and empower the person to become capable of acting competently on specific issues.

With people who aim to follow a route of self-awareness and deeper
insight, or those who seek help to overcome and avoid repeating
patterns, we work with psychoanalysis in which I insist on the
free-association from the patient and a good ear and floating attention,
as well as the quality of the interpretation, from myself.

My position towards the psychological theory and practice could be considered in a positive way, as “eclectic”. Meaning by eclectic, not a “mélange”, but using the best tools, therapists and psychological schools have provided, which turn out to be useful, depending on the conflict and /or situation to face. As, from my point of view, underestimate a new helpful contribution would situate me in a position of omnipotence or close mind.

I keep on learning to develop professionally and consult with other colleagues in order to discuss how to best help my patients.

THERAPY FOR EXPATS

For people leaving their countries & culture, expats, I find mostly important to provide a holding and support to protect them from feelings of rootlesness, panic attacks, claustro and agoraphobias; and offer them tools to face life transitions and future challenges.

GROUP THERAPY

Having collaborated in a well-known therapeutical community – Dr. García Badaracco ́s – in Buenos Aires, with groups and families, I can offer them the possibility of a safe dialogue and new ways of relating , building positive boundaries and planning a future with beacons of hope.

GENDER THERAPIES

Seeking empathical relationship, I support all religions and non ones, ethnic, cultural, sexual & individual diversity.

Needless to say that I follow strict confidentially and professional ethical guidelines at all times.
