Psychological treatment is both art and science. Each client I work with deserves to be understood in the context of their own life and experiences. There is no "boiler plate" treatment plan at Friendly Psychology. The goal is to engage together as partners in your therapy.
Whether you are seeking brief intervention, life coaching, or more significant treatment for issues such as anxiety, depression, complex PTSD, or Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, we will discuss options and determine best fit for you.One important underlying principle that echos through out our work is that the past cannot be changed.

She is currently accepting limited new patients in an effort to provide maximum attention to those in her practice. Among her areas of expertise are Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and Trauma Related Disorders, Complex PTSD, Depressive Disorders, Anxiety Disorders, and Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD).
Providing individual and group psychotherapy to adults utilizing evidence based therapeutic interventions. I place a great deal of emphasis on creating and explaining the therapeutic alliance to my patients. They are provided with psychoeducation on the importance of this element in the healing process.
Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (etiology of trauma across combat, sexual assault, natural disaster, adverse life experience). I work with a wide range of emotional and behavioral issues providing evidence based therapy and interventions. My areas of specialization emerged out of my work with our country's Veterans suffering from PTSD and Adjustment disorders that largely stemmed from combat experiences and/or sexual assault experiences.
The human body has a fight, flight, or freeze system that activates when it senses danger. This system speeds up your heart rate so you can run, causes you to sweat so you can stay cool, dilates the blood vessels to improve strength, and so on. The freeze part of the system causes a type of "paralysis" and is another way the body/mind may choose to minimize damage to itself.
It's normal to feel a little uncomfortable in social situations. Socializing is challenging, and even those that seem highly confident in social situations often suffer from at least a small amount of anxiousness. For some people, however, social situations invoke a sense of severe dread or anxiety.

I am so happy to have found Dr Randa!
I have suffered from some issues for quite a while.
I have been to several therapists with very little help towards my fears and issues.
Dr Randa immediately answered my phone call and discussed my needs.
I was a bit nervous for my first appointment but quickly relaxed.
A great listener who did not judge me.
I knew right away that she was a perfect fit for me.
My treatment plan was about 10 weeks in length.
I am now finished and I feel much less anxiety and have more confidence day to day. I haves refered several co-workers to her and they have also
