counseling for families, couples and loved ones
Ing. Bc. Michaela Jelínková

I am a graduate of Addiction Studies at the 1st Faculty of Medicine, Charles University. I help families, partners and other loved ones of those struggling with addiction. Together we look for ways to navigate a difficult situation, manage the impact of addiction on the family, and strengthen healthy relationships and communication.

I offer in particular:

  • Addiction counseling for families.
    • communication skills training
    • psychoeducation
    • support in managing everyday situations
    • motivational training
  • Support for parents of children at risk of addiction.
  • Couple counseling in the context of addiction.
    • understanding the impact of addiction on the relationship
    • joint search for a path to change
    • crisis management
  • Other one-off or longer-term interventions according to the needs of the family or couple.

Restoring healthy relationships

I focus on supporting the family system as a whole, including partnerships, with the aim of strengthening its ability to cope with the stress associated with addiction and to support the restoration of healthy relationships.

In my work, I build on a respectful and supportive approach. With families and couples, I look for ways to jointly manage difficult situations related to addiction and how to activate their own strength for change.

Education and experience

I am a graduate of Addiction Studies at the 1st Faculty of Medicine, where I continue my master's studies. I participate in the Vážka psychotherapy training (focused on working with families, couples and individuals according to the Virginia Satir Growth Model) and I have experience from various addiction services as part of study internships, primary prevention and assisted contacts between parents and children in difficult life situations.

I have completed training in motivational interviewing and a Sandplaying course. I work within my competencies as an addiction specialist and under regular supervision.
