About me

Developing over time, by participating to internships, such as the crisis team, which provides psychological first aid to victims of various abuses and traumas in Tempe, Az, United States of America, volunteering in the nursing homes and orphanages, training courses in the field of psychology, I learned many essential skills and qualities of a qualified psychologist. First of all, the empathy, as a fundamental ability, the ability to feel what is happening with the one next to me, to receive his share emotional and inner state. Another important quality dedicated to a good clinical psychologist is intuition, as an integral part of the therapeutic process where a considerable part of the information is transmitted through non-verbal behavior (mimicry, pantomime, eye contact, intonation, tone of voice). This quality of the psychologist helps the client to penetrate much more easily into the subconscious to find solutions and realize "unknowing thought". At the same time, I developed the ability to listen, to communicate and to socialize, which are essential because in this field we meet several customers, who are unique as individuals, and we must have the casualness to get in touch with them easily. Also, I have a patient and open nature, so that the client can reveal himself and progress at his own pace without feeling judged or criticized. Working with law enforcement in the United States as an intern in the crisis unit at CARE7, I understood the importance of honesty, morality and correctness, essential qualities in this field. And not the last turn, authenticity and spontaneity.
