Ilka Parent, Clinical Psychotherapist

Depth (psychodynamic) Psychology, Psychotraumatherapy (DeGPT)

Years of experience working in military hospitals schooled me in the typical clinical areas.

My clinical focus on issues typically associated with serving in the Armed Forces had to adjust after 9/11 to the areas of "Trauma", "Combat Related Stress Disorders" and "Reintegration after deployments/retirement”.

To date, I offer military service members as well as people who have experienced a trauma assistance in dealing with their respective life circumstances.
