Change & Grow ®
We developed and created a new integrative model – Change & Grow – which is based on elements of the current and following theoretical perspectives: humanistic, psychodynamic, cognitive, behavioural and gestalt.We, in VillaRamadas, bet on a multidisciplinary international team that consists of psychologists, psychotherapists, sociologist, medical resident and life coach.
Our goal is to provide a personal development treatment model with English discipline, to help every individual suffering from the disease of addiction or not, to become self-sufficient in relation to decision making, learning or relearning how to live in a healthy, balanced, confident, dynamic, responsible and stable way.
