About me
My name is Violeta Al Samara, a clinical psychologist, hypnotherapist, consultant psychologist specializing in Positive Psychotherapy, and an Art Therapist with expertise in expressive art therapy and Reiki practitioner. Founder of the holistic center Al Samara body & mind.
I consider psychology and psychotherapy to be my calling. Helping people with their difficulties and problems is a responsibility. I offer a safe, impartial, and supportive environment based on trust and partnership.
I believe that there is no universal approach to therapy. For each client, I offer a methodology specifically developed for their needs and goals. I apply a comprehensive and holistic approach designed especially for you. I use various art therapy techniques (no experience or skills required), hypnosis and hypnotherapy, body-oriented practices, breathing techniques, cognitive-behavioral therapy, gestalt therapy, family and systemic therapy, and psychodrama therapy.
I am here to support you in the process of accepting, understanding, and moving through your own pain.
