Dr Milica Kecmanovic
Professional Therapy Services for Adults, Adolescents, and Families.
Compassionate, Culturally Sensitive Therapy in English.
As an English-speaking therapist in Madrid, I provide comprehensive psychological support for adults, adolescents, and families. I offer face-to-face therapy in Madrid and online therapy to ensure flexibility for clients in Spain and abroad. I work with a wide range of presenting issues within a culturally sensitive approach that ensures every client receives personalised and effective care.
ANXIETY
Therapy for Anxiety in Madrid
Living in a new country, such as Spain, can be stressful and may set off a range of anxious thoughts and feelings. As an English-speaking therapist in Madrid, I offer evidence-based treatment for anxiety, addressing issues like:
- Generalised anxiety
- Social anxiety
- Health anxiety
- Performance anxiety
- Panic attacks
- Phobias
- Stress
- Rumination
I can help you learn to respond to anxiety and stress with proven tools and strategies so that they impact your life less.
Low Mood and Depression
Depression Treatment in Madrid
Feeling low or sad while living abroad is common. Social isolation in a new culture can trigger or exacerbate these feelings. There are many treatment options for depression and in therapy we can find what works best for you, allowing you to live life with vitality even when sadness and loneliness show up.
TRAUMA
Trauma therapy in Madrid
Perhaps the intrusive thoughts related to a past traumatic event have resurfaced or worsened during the process of moving to a new country. In therapy I can offer treatment to help you process trauma in a healthy way and reduce its impact on your life, whether you are dealing with:
- Childhood trauma
- Recent traumatic events
- Intrusive thoughts
DISORDERED EATING
Therapy for Disordered Eating in Madrid
The process of setting up a life in a new country can be taxing and may trigger some unhelpful coping mechanisms, such as coping with food. Therapy can help you develop a healthier relationship with food and explore more effective coping strategies.
ADJUSTMENT ISSUES
Therapy for Adjustment Issues in Madrid
Living in a new country requires us to adjust in some way in almost every aspect of life. This can be taxing even for the most seasoned expat. Being far from our established support networks makes coping with adjustment issues even harder and may mean you need a little extra support.
I can help you navigate the complexities of adjusting to a new culture, whether you are struggling with:
- Cultural differences
- Feeling disconnected from your established support networks, or
- Finding it hard to adapt in your new environment
PARENTING
Therapy for Parenting Issues in Madrid
From wanting to become a parent to parenting older children, parenthood can be hard. When we throw parenting in a different culture without the usual support networks available in our home country to the mix, parenthood may start to feel overwhelming. We can work together to find ways to navigate parenthood more effectively, with a mindful and self-compassionate approach.
RELATIONSHIP PROBLEMS
Therapy for Relationship Issues in Madrid
Maybe you have relocated together with your partner or are in a new cross-cultural relationship and trying to navigate the cultural intricacies around relationships and family life in your new country. Or perhaps you are finding your way through dating in a new culture.
In therapy we can unpack these experiences and address the unique challenges that arise from cultural transitions and relationship dynamics.
NAVIGATING LGBTIQ+
Therapy for LGBTIQ+ Individuals in Madrid
For LGBTIQ+ individuals, relationships and identity still come with unique challenges, especially when living in a new country. In therapy we’ll explore these aspects, helping you embrace your authentic self, strengthen resilience and confidently manage the complexities of LGBTIQ+ life in a new country.
I offer a 15 minute free of charge discovery call, to see if we are a good fit for each other.
