Vakhtang Gomelauri, LCSW
About me
I have over 7 years of experience providing therapy in person as well as online. My clinical approach is eclectic, I tailor my therapeutic methods and techniques to specific needs and resources of my clients. I specialize in treating issues related trauma, depression, anxiety and how they affect our bodies, everyday functioning, and relationships.
I have experience effectively helping individuals from all over the world, different cultures, ethnicities, religious beliefs, and gender identities. My therapist's toolbox contains methods that you can learn and use independently in your daily life to alleviate stress, avoid anxiety and panic attacks and overcome depression. If you want to explore your emotions, be able to be more conscious of your internal processes and work through your early life experiences I can offer you my psychodynamic skills that can help you understand yourself better and reach significant insights through therapeutic relationship.
We are living though chaotic and stressful times when it can be hard to find meaning in our experiences, and purpose for our actions, but by exploring your values, relationships and life story we can find a way for you to feel empowered and see the way forward.
Please do not hesitate to reach out to me, I check my messages several times a day.
