Are you looking for a native English-speaker psychologist in Budapest? I am a Hungarian-American psychologist in Budapest.
What kinds of people go to see a psychologist?
In my psychotherapy practice, I deal primarily with English-speaking adults who are facing difficult times abroad and would like counseling to help resolve their problems, be they situational or personality-based.
Most of my clientele are healthy adults struggling with situational difficulties, but I also have experience working with people with a history of depression or anxiety problems. Because of my birth work, I am particularly familiar with the emotional pressures and difficulties surrounding pregnancy, childbirth and life with small babies.
How long do most people stay in therapy?
I specialize in short-term cognitive-behavioral therapy that addresses current problems, behavior modifications and changing negative cognitive patterns. Most of my clients stay for 10-20 weekly therapy sessions before we conclude therapy, but I also do less frequent, maintenance-type consultations with individuals who request it.
What are your qualifications?
I am a fully trained psychologist and psychotherapist, with a Master’s degree from Cornell in Psychology and a certificate from the Hungarian Cognitive and Behavior Therapy Association in cognitive-behavior therapy.
Being a psychologist, I cannot prescribe medication, but if necessary, I am able to refer you to English-speaking Hungarian psychiatrists who can.
How do sessions work and how much do they cost?
My initial consultation is always 50 minutes long. Subsequent sessions may last 50 or 80 minutes, depending on mutual agreement and may be scheduled flexibly once or twice a week, or once or twice a month, based on individual need.
