Description
At times psychotherapy can be the most helpful and practical way to achieve relief from feelings of hopelessness, doubt or adjust to change. For me psychotherapy is a deeply engaged and collaborative conversation. I strive to offer my clients a warm and collaborative atmosphere, which can help them gain a deeper self-understanding, free themselves from hurtful or damaging relational patterns, and develop new ways of thinking, feeling and relating to others and to themselves. Questions that emerge in the course of therapy are as meaningful as the answers.Therapy can be a safe space to practice

Summary
I am Alina Chirila, MSW, RSW, and Psychotherapist. I have been working in mental health in different capacities and practicing psychotherapy for over 15 years. My clinical work is driven by the desire to meet my clients where they’re at, help them expand their cognitive and emotional understanding of their world, and support their capacity to change and grow. I work from a relational stance using an attachment and trauma-informed framework, along with other modalities such as Transactional Analysis, Emotion Focused Therapy, EMDR, Focusing, and have an Advanced Certificate in Adult Attachment.
