Philosophy of Treatment
Dr. Vera serves adults, adolescents and children in the context of their families and communities, so that they can live life to their potentials. As a result of the traumas and other life circumstances many adults, adolescents and children have severe mental health issues. Given the right tools and strategies Dr. Vera believes most clients, with the right support, can be a healthy system. We all have a core sense of inner wisdom. Negative life experiences lead us to create patterns that block this awareness. By identifying and mindfully shifting destructive patterns, we can have relief or resolution to painful symptoms and explore more fulfilling ways of being in the world.
Dr. Vera engages clients in a partnership; making decisions surrounding how best to set them up to succeed in their community and in life. This partnership is a proven method in successful treatment. All this is done within the context of providing compassionate scientifically valid treatments within a safe and therapeutic environment to heal and grow.
