Recognizing and distinguishing between natural sadness and clinical depression can enable you to get the help you need.  Dr Rymaszewski helps you to make this critical distinction and determine how best to respond.

Lifelong anxiety or specific fears are addressed by Dr. Rymaszewski  through a combination of cognitive restructuring (changing your "self talk") and new behavioral strategies that are designed and executed with you.

Each age of childhood has it's developmental goal and it's special challenges to be resolved. In her psychotherapy practice, Dr Rymaszewski employs special games, toys and activities with young children, and individual as well as family meetings with adolescents. The therapeutic purpose is to enable the young person to verbalize their concerns appropriately rather than act them out in negative behavior.

When the marital world splits open, the entire family is assaulted by pain.  Learning to survive this devastating event is a complex experience requiring clinical attention to each individual as well as the family as a whole.

Problems of self-esteem subsumed in the context of physical appearance, intense family relationships, and the societal pressure of peers, need to be addressed on multiple levels of physical well-being and psychological stability.

With due deference paid to the patient's physical difficulties,  Dr. Rymaszewski addresses the emotional and cognitive challenges of aging.  Psychotherapy expands the elderly person's awareness and attention to the crucial integration of their lifetime achievements with their current capability for emotional and social stability.

The social and personal challenges of these issues are best seen as all relationships are, through the lens of family relations throughout a person's lifetime.  The reflection of early and current connections are enlightening and can enable a person to perceive one's inner self with new richness and clarity.

The current economic crisis presents many obstacles to anyone who would initiate a career today or sustain it's constant development.  Dr. Rymaszewski accompanies her clients through the process of goal identification, career path finding, educational enrichment, and business plan development to attain the client's optimal achievement.

The traditional concept of "stages of grief" has come full circle.  We now recognize that just as every person is unique, so too is each person's grieving distinctly their own.  Dr. Rymaszewski helps the bereaved person recognize their particular needs. Personalized techniques enable them to hold onto the best of their loved one even as they let go of the sadness of their loss.

Parents need to understand human developmental issues sufficiently to assist their children across the various stages of growth. Through parenting skill training, Dr Rymaszewski enables her clients to learn  the best techniques for guidance and discipline. This training can empower parents to enhance their children's maturation.

Assessment of the origin of the difficulty a person is experiencing will determine the course of treatment prescribed.  There may be psychological, physical, emotional, or interpersonal problems causing the complaint.  Once the source is identified, treatment proceeds directly in the appropriate modality.

The central organizing principal at the heart of a person's values will determine the nature and course of their life functioning.  Problems arise when a dissonance occurs between the person's way of life and their core beliefs. Their theological direction, or preferred religious denomination, either supports their ideal values and guides them accordingly or else they experience a crisis of belief.  Sorting out the path to their ideal self will enable the person to heal as they achieve their spiritual goals.

The anxiety and emotional  re-experiencing of the original traumatic event are significant directors of treatment for this painful disorder.  The ultimate goal is mastery over the severe psychological pain of the event.
