Hi there, I'm Dragana!

I provide a warm therapeutic environment where you determine what is most needed to be addressed. I tailor my approaches to your individual needs, recognizing the vital role our relationship plays in achieving positive outcomes and a positive experience.

My focus

I work with clients who have experienced trauma and complex PTSD, as well as those experiencing stress, anxiety, depression, eating disorders, OCD, relationship challenges, codependency, alcohol dependence, and other substance use problems.

My approach

I utilize EMDR, IFS, Brainspotting, CBT, and ACT to enhance talk therapy and provide a warm, therapeutic experience. I draw from evidence-based modalities and foundational approaches to meet your unique needs.

My communication style

I provide a safe and supportive environment where you lead. I don't impose my agenda but rather invite you to guide what we work on and how fast or slow we engage with the therapeutic process.

My journey to mental healthcare

I have always been able to empathize with others easily and naturally. This natural pull towards understanding people led me to pursue clinical social work, where I learned to provide culturally sensitive, patient-centered, and compassionate care.

My goals for you

After the intake, I identify potential goals and invite you to consider working on them. We then proceed at your pace, focusing on what matters most to you.

Our first session

You can expect a warm and curious environment where I will ask questions to get to know you and assess if I am the right therapist for you.
