Trauma Focused psychotherapy
A different approach to mental health and wellness
Going beyond the basics
Philosophy
Mary Fornes transforms mental healthcare by combining Western advancements with Eastern methods, providing personalized and holistic online services.
Approach
Not your typical psychotherapist...Mary is a trauma focused therapist working with adults who suffer from childhood trauma, PTSD, dissociation, anxiety and depression. In sessions, Mary help clients overcome emotional overload, dysregulation and tap into the mind's natural ability to heal using EMDR, IFS and Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy.
Goal
Mary aims to understand the impact of trauma on her clients, identify various paths to recovery, and provide quality care in her practice.
EMDR
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing
A specialized form of therapy that has been proven effective in treating trauma, anxiety, and other related conditions. During EMDR therapy, the client is asked to recall a traumatic event while following a therapist's hand movements or other forms of bilateral stimulation.
IFS (parts work)
Internal Family Systems
There are no bad parts.
It is the nature of the mind to be subdivided into an indeterminate number of parts. IFS is a form of psychotherapy that focuses on healing all parts of the individual, including the parts that may be in conflict with each other.
KAP
Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy
Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) is a holistic modality in which Ketamine is used as a complement to psychotherapy.
Ketamine can be administered in a variety of ways, in my work with Journey Clinical we only use the sublingual lozenge form.
Individual Therapy for General Anxiety, PTSD, Depression, Dissociation, Stress, Life transition...
Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy
Ketamine is a legal, safe and effective medicine used to treat a variety of mental health conditions including depression, anxiety and PTSD. Ketamine has rapidly acting antidepressant and mood-enhancing effects, which can begin to take effect within 1-2 hrs. after treatment. Ketamine has been shown to enhance overall neuroplasticity for lasting symptom improvement.
