My goal as a counselor is to help you to make the positive changes you need in your life. Like the famous psychologists Albert Ellis said: “It worked for me, it can work for you!” I’m a very client centred and solution-focused therapist: I believe that every individual can achieve their mental health, wellness, education, and career goals. I provide a nourishing environment where together we will discover your true self. I see the role of a counselor as a guide who walks beside you as you find your life's path.
I practice integrative therapy, where I use client-centered and cognitive-behavioral therapy as a basis. Why Integrative Psychotherapy? Each person is unique and needs a unique approach, unique tools that can be borrowed, for example, from Gestalt Therapy or Goal-oriented Therapy. In English, there is an expression, "no size fits all." Translated into the language of therapy, this means that there is no tool that suits everyone. That is why an individual approach is important and integrative therapy allows me to tailor my therapy methods to the individual.
My areas of work:
-
self-esteem issues;

career counseling;

interpersonal relationships;

the relationship between parents and children;

women's issues;

panic attacks (including agoraphobia);
-
situational and clinical depression;
-
post-traumatic disorder;

experience of grief.
Clinical depression, personality disorders, obsessive-compulsive disorder and other psychological disorders require an integrated approach and the possible involvement of a psychiatrist. Therefore, if necessary and based on the results of diagnostics, I refer clients for consultation to a psychiatrist.
I’m happily working with individuals of all backgrounds, gender expressions, and belief systems. I work with both Russian and English speaking clients both in person and online.
If you have a desire to start creating your new self, then I look forward to meeting you and promise that our work will be both interesting and rewarding.
