About My Mental Heart

My Mental Heart aims to promote mental health on an international level through psychotherapy, education and art (especially music)! Our main goal is to raise as much awareness as possible of the issues of modern 21st‑century people and try to help them face those issues and come out stronger by using all our methods available to us/them. Driven by the need for human connection and our love of humanity, our work is based on expert scientific knowledge from the field of psychology and psychotherapy (especially cognitive-behavioural therapy) and on different forms of art (writing, music, singing, reading, acting, etc.).

Why My Mental Heart?

I would like for everyone undergoing this process to embrace their emotions and mental health as something truly ‘theirs’ (hence ‘My’) and to learn to see themselves not as a problem to be solved but simply as an expansion and improvement or upgrade of what already is. Moreover, I feed into my work my own self‑discovery as I introduce my clients to mechanisms for dealing with difficult situations which work for me and/or which I discovered through work. Moreover, since I actively pursue art, ‘My’ can be understood as a piece of myself, which I will gladly share with you in order for it to serve as an example and foster the positive change that you need.

‘Mental Heart’ instead refers to my two main fields of work:

1) mental health
2) art.

I put at my clients’ disposal everything that I have learned and around which I have built my entire life, more or less strongly related to psychology and psychotherapy, as well as all the creative ways of expressing oneself and processing life and our internal worlds, which are a large part of me and which I know like the back of my hand. This is why I believe art is especially valuable and important for one’s well‑being, but also for communicating how to improve other people’s well‑being. Talking about mental health does not need to be boring or worrying. Mental health can be discussed in a creative, interesting and even funny way! Humour and creativity are magnificent qualities of our human existence. Why not then use them in the process of improving and preserving our mental health?

Finally, the English name of the practice highlights the extent of its activities and the international nature of the population that it targets and is envisioned in my mission. People of all cultures are welcomed here, regardless of gender, sex, race, nationality, religion, etc., and we currently offer services in Croatian, English and Spanish.
