My Approach to Helping

Greetings! My name is Zita Fekete and I earned my Master's Degree in Psychology in Budapest, Hungary. As an immigrant I can sympathize with your pain if you feel confused, anxious and uncertain because your accustomed world turned upside down.

Is it because of arriving into a new culture, or because of divorce, or other life changing event doesn't really matter; the accompanying disturbing feelings can ruin your everyday life and connections.

My way of helping leads through the understanding what is the main cause of your problem. While you are telling me your story, I am listening carefully not just what you say but how, and the concealed elements; connections between events, unrecognized patterns, hidden evaluations, expectations, needs, assumptions and the like.
Working on these unconscious materials helps you to see your situation from new perspective. New perspective gives you the possibility for change.

My lucky days are when I see the sudden rush of surprise, understanding and joy on the faces of people when they recognize cause and effect connection between distant happenings, thoughts or feelings. Freud thought it's enough - not always.

What's next? It's up to you: your circumstances, your priorities, your personality, but I can support you to figure out solution, make decision and realize it.

Check my website for more information, and don't be shy to give me a call!

What I Love about Being a Psychotherapist

I am fascinated by the human psyche especially how the unconscious mind influences our everyday life. I love to reveal its laws, I love to discover again and again how it affects us in our most innocent moments. I can compare the thrill of solving a person's problem to a Sudoku riddle. I know the rules, I know that everything has it's own place, and at the end I can find the good combination. I love to help people finding their special best combination of relationship - work - balance - meaning in life.

Why Going to Therapy Does Not Mean You are Weak or Flawed

Complexes - contradictory feelings, thoughts, judgments - are natural part of everybody's life. So their solutions. Symptoms are mostly the unconscious mind's attempts to solve some of its complexes. The more we understand what's the story all about, the better solution we can find. But the language of the unconscious is not always obvious, then can a therapist help you to find the meaning of a symptom. On the other hand, we all have a lot to develop and change from our birth to death, which process is full of changes, contradiction, understanding, and lack of understanding. Our whole life is a continuous swing between discovering something important inside us, then let it falling out of awareness. The more we know about our inner life, - desires, values, attitudes, personality traits, needs and the like - the more we can keep control of our life, and not other way around: not let the unconscious tendencies control our behavior. I'd like to know as much as possible about my own inner life - partly for sheer curiosity, and who else should be interested? - partly to lead my life in the direction what I like. Is this something about illness or flaw? For me it the smartest thing what anybody can do!
