Your Journey to Healing: Navigating Life’s Challenges Together
Whether you’re facing the challenges of battling depression, managing anxiety, wrestling with low self-esteem, navigating parenting difficulties, relationship issues, coping with stress, dealing with life crises, family issues, complex trauma, PTSD, cross-cultural dilemmas, coping with grief and loss, tackling workplace stress, or providing support for children after separation—I’m here for you! Expect a reset button for your life through our virtual Telehealth sessions, where we explore and understand your experiences. Let’s focus on what matters most – you!
Welcome to a space of warmth and understanding. I’m a caring and dedicated bilingual Clinical Psychologist (English and Romanian) with nearly two decades of experience.
In my practice, I blend empathy, compassion, and solution-oriented strategies to create a supportive environment for you. During my time in Australia, I had the honour of serving as a clinical supervisor, managing a therapeutic team, offering counselling and family dispute resolution services.
My commitment is to provide evidence-based and culturally sensitive interventions tailored to your unique needs. You can expect a personalized treatment plan that incorporates approaches like Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and EMDR for complex trauma. For couples, the transformative Imago Dialogue lies at the heart of my approach.
Taking the courageous step to seek help is a sign of strength. Therapy is a safe and confidential space where I’ll gently guide you on this magnificent journey of self-discovery. Your bravest words could be ‘help,’ and together, we’ll create an uplifting experience that leads to healing.
About Me
Dr Carmen Teodor
I am a compassionate, empathetic, and solution-oriented bilingual Clinical Psychologist proficient in English and Romanian. With nearly 20 years of clinical experience, including my practice since 2011 in Australia, I am dedicated to offering evidence-based and culturally sensitive psychological interventions to individuals, couples, and families. My expertise spans diverse client populations, both in one-on-one and group settings.
During my time in Australia, I served as a clinical supervisor and managed a therapeutic team at an NGO, providing counselling and family dispute resolution services. I also worked as a registered psychologist in a private psychology clinic.
Commitment to Therapy
I want to take a moment to emphasize the importance of your commitment to therapy. Your decision to embark on this journey towards improved mental and emotional well-being is a significant step, and your active engagement in the therapeutic process plays a vital role in achieving positive outcomes.
Why commitment to therapy matters:
Progress and Growth
Commitment to regular therapy sessions allows for consistent progress and personal growth. Just as physical health benefits from regular exercise, your mental and emotional well-being flourishes when you invest time and effort in therapy.
Building Trust
Over time, your relationship with your therapist deepens, and trust is established. This trust forms the foundation for open and honest discussions about your concerns, thoughts, and feelings, which are essential for effective therapy.
Goal Achievement
Therapy is most effective when we collaboratively work toward specific goals. Your commitment to therapy ensures that we can set and work towards these goals together, which can lead to meaningful, long-lasting changes in your life.
Identifying Patterns
Through consistent attendance, the therapist can better identify patterns in your thoughts, behaviours, and emotions. This insight is invaluable in understanding and addressing the issues that brought you to therapy.
Coping Skills
Therapy equips you with coping strategies and tools to navigate life’s challenges. By actively participating in therapy, you maximize your ability to integrate these skills into your daily life.
Resilience
Commitment to therapy can enhance your resilience in the face of stress, trauma, or difficult life events. It provides a safe space to explore and develop your emotional resilience.
Self-Discovery
Therapy is an opportunity for self-discovery and self-improvement. Your commitment enables you to explore your thoughts, beliefs, and values, leading to a deeper understanding of yourself.
Better Relationships
Improving your mental and emotional well-being often has a positive ripple effect on your relationships with others. By investing in your own growth, you can improve your connections with family, friends, and colleagues.
Self-Care
Making therapy a priority is an act of self-care. It’s a way of honouring your well-being and acknowledging that your mental health matters.
I understand that life can be busy and that obstacles may arise, but please remember that your therapist is here to support you through these challenges. If you ever have concerns or questions about your therapy or the commitment involved, I encourage you to discuss them openly in therapy. Your active participation and open communication are integral to the success of your therapeutic journey.
My Values
Confidentiality: Your privacy is of the utmost importance to me. I maintain the strictest standards of confidentiality to ensure that you can openly express yourself without fear of judgment or disclosure.
Continuous Improvement: I am committed to ongoing self-improvement and growth. I value feedback from my clients and am dedicated to refining my practice to provide the best support possible.
Quality Care: I am dedicated to upholding the highest standards of quality in therapy. My commitment to excellence is reflected in my support, guidance, and the outcomes I aim to achieve for my clients.
Community: AMeliora Therapy seeks to grow beyond an individual practice. I hope to inspire and nurture a community of therapists who share my dedication to improving the lives of those in need. I welcome therapists to join me in my mission.
Compassion: I approach my clients with compassion and empathy, understanding that each individual’s journey is unique. I strive to provide unwavering support as you navigate your path to well-being.
Self-Discovery: I believe in the transformative power of self-discovery. I am here to gently guide you on this magnificent journey, where you can explore your inner self and uncover the tools to create a brighter future.
