Working style
Rositsa creates a collaborative environment where your active participation drives the therapeutic process. She provides clear frameworks and exercises when needed, while remaining attentive to emotional shifts that might require a different approach. Her method integrates cognitive strategies with mindfulness practices, emphasizing present moment awareness and self compassion as foundations for lasting change. Rositsa values the therapeutic relationship itself as a powerful tool for growth, using your interactions to gently explore patterns that may appear in other relationships. This process oriented approach helps you develop practical skills for navigating depression, personality challenges, and interpersonal difficulties with greater confidence.
