Dr. Agita Lazdina

Psychotherapist, psychosomatic medical doctor

I provide counselling to adults and youth in situations of various types of difficulties in life and health complications – crisis, traumatic experience management, relationship issues, self-identity development, treatment of psychosomatic disorders, burnout syndrome, anxiety, panic attacks, depressive disorders, etc.

I base my work on the foundations of psychodynamic psychotherapy, psychoanalysis; I also use elements of CBT and support therapy. I work individually and in also a group.

I believe that every person has the ability to recover, regain joy in life, find peace, see meaning and create successful relationships, as long as there is someone nearby who is truly interested and ready to walk this path together. The first step is crucial for the journey to begin. However, it is important to remember that it is never too late to start.
