Igor Espittia is a bilingual (Spanish/English), bicultural social worker. He has
been helping families and children with difficulties that affect their
well-being and their ability to develop healthy relationships with each other
for over ten years. In addition, he is particularly interested in supporting men
as they develop a more complete emotional experience, one that can reduce shame,
alienation, and rigidity of roles that often accompanies and restricts men's
lives.Igor brings to his work a belief in each client's inherent ability to heal and grow. The aim of his practice is to assist individuals not only to overcome their difficulties but also to find joy and fulfillment in the task of living. This often means a deliberate and conscious understanding of our "unfinished business" of childhood so that we may experience resolution and completion and move toward living more freely and with true personal "choice." This work includes building, strengthening and mobilizing internal and external supports in order to assist rather than assault our inner experience. To accomplish this, he draws from his specialized training in Body Centered Gestalt Therapy as well as a combination of approaches including cognitive behavioral, developmental, transactional analysis, and family systems among others.
