Skills for Mental and Emotional Wellness

Dr. Filipovic-Jewell provides her patients with essential skills that support emotional and psychological well-being. These include:

• Self-Awareness: Encouraging introspection builds a deeper understanding of personal strengths, triggers, and areas for growth.
• Processing and Regulating Emotions: Helping individuals to understand and work through their emotions prevents the further manifestation of psychiatric or somatic symptoms. Additionally, learning how to manage intense emotions fosters a sense of control and stability.
• Emotional Resilience: Strengthening the ability to adapt and recover from adversity enables individuals to face life’s challenges with courage and optimism.
• Effective Relationship Skills: Enhancing communication and interpersonal skills helps establish meaningful and healthy connections with others.
• Healthy Boundaries: Empowering individuals to establish limits preserves emotional distress while fostering respect and mutual understanding.
• Cultivating Self-compassion.
• Proper rest and sleep.
• Proper nutrition.
• Proper physical activity.

Dr. Filipovic-Jewell pays special attention to psychoeducation and teaching individuals these skills either proactively or after recovering from various psychiatric conditions. Her patients are not only equipped to manage their mental health challenges but are also empowered to lead balanced and fulfilling lives.
