ABOUT ME – MIGLĖ

I am a counseling psychologist, play therapist trained in the Violet Oaklander model, a mother of a teenage daughter, and a person who believes in the power of connection.
Every day I work with children, adolescents, young adults, and parents – helping them to understand themselves, find more calm, and live with less guilt, anxiety, or fear.

🧸 Play Therapy – the Core of My Work

Play is the only natural language of children.
When a child struggles to say what is happening inside – they show it through play.
In my work I use play therapy methods that help children express their emotions, learn how to manage them, and help parents better understand their child.

🤝 I strive to show parents how to continue therapy at home, because one hour per week in the office is not enough.
Children need consistency, which is why we, adults, must learn to be on the same team.

🌊 Facing Anxiety and Depression

Many expect a psychologist to give a “magic pill” that changes everything.
But that’s not how it works.
Only the person themselves can truly help when they are ready.

🧠 I believe that:
– thoughts create feelings, and feelings shape our state of being;
– thoughts can be changed – but it takes effort;
– it is a process, similar to exercise, nutrition, or quitting smoking: it requires a decision, commitment, and consistent work.

I cannot “fix” you or your child.
But I can be there – to accompany you, help you see more clearly, encourage you, and support you in making choices.

🌍 Why Is This Important?

Burnout, anxiety, depression, fear – these are not just theories.
I know them up close, which is why I can be beside a person not as a rescuer, but as a genuine companion.

🧡 My Goal Is to Help You or Your Child:
– better understand yourself,
– accept imperfection,
– love yourself as you are,
– and build healthier relationships with loved ones.

💬 Let’s Talk

If you feel that “something is not right,” but don’t know where to start – one first step is enough.
We can meet individually or connect in a warm online chat conversation.

🌱 True strength begins where we dare to talk and start to act.

With love and openness,

And I look forward to meeting you in my office or in a chat!
