INFORMATION NOTE: I had the opportunity to work with psychiatrists. In this way, I gained experience in the psychotherapy service given to individuals who were taking psychiatric drug treatment in Depression and Anxiety Disorders. In addition, during my work in military schools, I provided psychotherapy with adolescent individuals. In my own office from 2017 to 2019, I gave psychotherapy to females who had a history of sexual harassment in her past life and was on psychiatric medication. I continue to provide psychotherapy to individuals with a history of trauma since 2017.
