About Dr. Békés

I have more than fifteen years of experience in treating various psychological problems. I have worked with people struggling with all kinds of difficulties: the hunting memories of trauma, depression, anxiety, panic attacks, life crisis, grief, and so much more. Life can feel hard, demanding and unfair, and I know how isolated one can feel when facing the hardships. I believe that although each problem and life situation is unique, we all have the ability to share our journey, show our vulnerability and get help and support in a safe and honest relation. In therapy I offer the warm, open, and respectful space needed to heal and grow. I believe that, as Irvin Yalom puts it, “We are all in this together, and there is no therapist and no person immune to the inherent tragedies of existence”, and that seeking support to deal with difficulties means the first step in solving them. I use the most effective therapeutic tools to help you to cope better, communicate more effectively, accept yourself, break free from the problems that hold you back, and grow as a person.
