Reno Psychotherapy

Hi, I'm Joanna Bienko-Czerniski, LCSW Seeking therapy is often a reflection of significant discomfort in your life. Maybe you feel that your emotions have become difficult to manage, or perhaps you feel numb to them. You might feel stuck in your relationships or job, or perhaps you have experienced a significant event and are having difficulty adjusting to or making sense of it. These are just a few of the many situations that therapy can help you navigate by taking a curious approach to your thoughts and feelings and deepening your understanding of yourself, your relationships, and your mind. I work with my clients to explore their current and past situations and symptoms in order to find patterns in stressors, relationships, and ways of coping that may not always be adaptive. Together, we can better understand your innermost desires, as well as the fears and symptoms that stand between where you are now and a more fulfilling life. I work primarily from psychodynamic and attachment perspectives. I tend to do longer-term, in depth work with my clients with the aim of sustained change that lasts well beyond the treatment. I believe a good fit is crucial to the work and offer free phone consultations to discuss your needs and how we might work together.
