Hello! My name is Marina Pjasecka, and I am a Gestalt therapist.
I help you understand yourself, deal with anxiety, relationship difficulties, and inner conflicts.
In therapy, it is important for me to create a safe space where you can truly be yourself.
I trained at the Riga Gestalt Institute and studied psychiatry, psychopharmacology, and
body-oriented therapy, which helps me work more deeply with emotions and psychosomatics.
If you feel stuck and want change, schedule a consultation.
Together, we will find your path to harmony.
If you're ready for change but don't know where to start, let's try it together.
Gestalt therapy is a path to wholeness, to accepting yourself and your needs.
If you feel ready for change, I would be happy to accompany you on this journey.
It’s important to notice what’s happening here and now: what feelings you are experiencing, what thoughts are passing through your mind, how your body reacts to different situations. Awareness is the key to understanding yourself.
Gestalt therapy helps you see which behavioral patterns are holding you back and consciously choose how to move forward
All feelings are important. They don’t need to be ignored or repressed. Instead, we learn to experience them in a healthy way that doesn’t harm ourselves.
Relationships with others are often built on the same principles as your relationship with yourself. In therapy, we explore these processes and learn how to build healthier and more harmonious connections.
My role is not to give advice or tell you how to "live correctly." I help you find your own answers, feel your strength, and rely on it.
Each time you experience intense emotions, physical symptoms often arise. The psychosomatic approach is much broader than just body-oriented therapy. It involves working not only with the body but also with emotions and their manifestations in the human body.
Illness is often the result of unprocessed emotions. If you struggle to identify your emotions, you may end up paying for it with illness or unresolved problems in your life.
Psychological defenses in the brain help "hide" negative emotions. Sometimes, this helps, but eventually, an event (a trigger) may occur, leading to a strong emotional reaction reminiscent of past stress. And then, that stress will resurface in the most noticeable way.
A person who tries to hide their emotions from others doesn’t eliminate their physical manifestations.
Letting go of yourself involves conscious agreements between the conscious and subconscious parts of the brain. This is when inner peace begins. Based on the principle of sublimation, transforming negative emotions into creative impulses.
Recommendations for experiencing negative emotions through creative adaptation:
The first step – Have an honest conversation with yourself (you can whisper it out loud) and notice the specific manifestations of these emotions (such as a racing heart, shortness of breath, stomach pain, etc.).
The second step – Understand and become aware of how you can manage this. Calmness becomes the way out of the crisis state. "Inner silence" occurs when the dialogue with yourself quiets down. And in that silence, new thoughts and solutions to your problems emerge.
This special state is something you can experience for at least a few minutes. It triggers the mechanism of neuroplasticity, and new ideas and solutions start to form in your brain.
However, in real life, filters work: for some people, a crisis becomes a push for development, and they activate their creative adaptation. A new idea appears, and they begin to implement it in their lives.
For others, negative emotions may prevail, blocking creative adaptation, and they get stuck in these processes for a long time. A Gestalt therapist can help by gently and attentively guiding them from relying on others to relying on themselves.
Gestalt therapy helps you become aware of your feelings, needs, and inner conflicts so that you can live more consciously and freely. Unlike other methods, it focuses on the "here and now," rather than the past. Instead of searching for the causes of problems, therapy helps you see how you interact with them and what can be changed. It's a dynamic, flexible process where your emotions, body, and personal experience are important. The main goal is to learn how to better understand yourself and act in harmony with your desires.
