About

Inesa Rchtouni

I believe that every individual deserves the opportunity to create positive changes that will impact them throughout their lives. My role in therapeutic process is to help clients explore patterns of thoughts and behaviors that negatively impact their lives and provide skills to gain control and build healthy and meaningful relationships. My approach to therapy is a collaboration of Cognitive and Behavioral and Psychodynamic Therapies. I earned my M.S. in Clinical Psychology from Mount St. Mary’s College and have experience working with couples, children, adolescents, adults and families on improving interpersonal skills, depression, anxiety and processing trauma.

Methodology

Treatment is not too far away

Seeking treatment is difficult as the complexities of our emotional turmoil often makes it challenging to reach out for help. As the founder of Open Expressions, I believe that any therapeutic process commences with a safe and welcoming environment to those who are ready to begin their journey towards self-fulfillment in both their personal and professional lives.

I believe that individuals are resilient and can work through any roadblock to regain control of their life. While the journey requires trust, commitment, and necessitates hard work, significant improvement in interpersonal relationships, as well as intrapersonal, is within our reach and attainable.

At Open Expressions, we know that in working with an individual, it is vital to gain a comprehensive understanding of the individual’s family as well as their broader socioecological circumstances. We treat the person, not the condition. We see an individual as part of a larger system, and work towards identifying and reflecting on factors that influence or affect said individual’s choices and behaviors. Whether we are helping to navigate individual roadblocks, family issues, relationship difficulties, or parenting and behavior management with children, we retain our focus on the whole person and implement that understanding to create a personalized treatment model.

While taking the first step and seeking help is difficult, I encourage you to take it as the gains are well worth it.

Thank you for taking the time to visit my page. I look forward to getting started and am excited to begin working towards a better tomorrow.
