On this episode of The Mental Health Today Show Podcast I'm talking with Alex Boianghu about transforming anxiety into resilience.

Tools for Emotional Well-being

Alex Boianghu is a dedicated and gifted therapist with over 30 years of study and practice. He uses an integrative approach to therapy with an emphasis on psycho-spiritual growth grounded in somatic therapy's focus on the unity of body and mind.

Alex is trained in EMDR, a technique used to help people process and resolve trauma successfully. He is also a gifted couple's therapist, assisting the partners to reach deep levels of awareness and compassion.

With compassion and discernment, Alex guides and models how to positively harness the psycho-dynamic energies we all possess to rediscover our common and innate holistic nature.
