Who am I
Aleksandra Jeka (she/her)
Although childhood experiences contribute to shaping our beliefs and attitudes, it is possible to reverse their influences, unlearn unhealthy patterns, and replace them with self-care, awareness, and boundaries.
I specialize in supporting neurodivergent adults with difficulties with emotion regulation, interpersonal relationships and the relationship with oneself. I base my methods on the cognitive-behavioral approach and emotion-focused therapy. I am personally and professionally sensitive to difficulties encountered by sexual minorities LGBTQ+, and expats.
I help my patients get in touch with their inner child, learn how to recognize their emotions, validate them, and autoregulate in a safe, healthy way. We work together on the problematic behaviors and beliefs relying on openness, kindness, and lack of judgment.

My values as a therapist
I'm passionate about the diversity of human experience, and particularly passionate about psychology of minorities; people who grew up feeling different. I hold a lot of respect and curiosity for different perspectives and experiences and I am very mindful about assumptions and projections.
I see neurodivergence as a type of mind rather than a disorder. I embrace my own conditions despite of challenges. I fight against ableism and believe humans are suppose to come in various flavors ;) We don't have to be good at everything and entirely self sufficient. The art is to learn how to work with your brain and not against it.
Love is love, sexuality and gender is a vast spectrum full of beautiful shades. Everyone deserves to feel happy, safe and respected. While I don't specialize in sexology I am curious and open-minded to hear and support different relationships as well as personal journeys about one's identity and values.

I offer you a safe space, where your feelings will be heard and validated, where you are unconditionally accepted and appreciated for who you are, and where you can safely process difficult experiences with my help but in your own rhythm.
I offer psychoeducation to help you understand the mechanisms underlying your unique mental functioning. You get to know yourself better, learn to unmask, recognize the symptoms, and apply healthy solutions under challenging situations.
