Sanja is the founder of the Therapy Journey where a therapist takes responsibility for influencing people in a positive way.
Sanja offers something that is difficult to find among many other therapist:
Others will pacify your mind with the goal to adjust you to society and mediocre standards. She will peacefully revolutionize your mind to create new boundaries for yourself and your positivity and help you significantly contribute to this world by becoming the best you you can be.
Others will treat therapy as a "liberating" tool of successful oppression by promoting presently dominant class values in a politically correct way. She promotes freedom to follow your own cultural, instinctual and spiritual heritage.
Others will glorify therapy and a therapist role in it to create dependency. She encourages independence by demystifying power of therapy and therapist while helping you to recognize the power of you.
