About My Clients
I have extensive experience providing individual, group, and family psychotherapy to children, adolescents, and adults with a wide range of diagnoses, including PTSD and trauma-related disorders, affective disorders, personality disorders, and addiction. I utilize trauma-focused, psychodynamic, cognitive-behavioral, humanistic-existential, and meaning-centered approaches in my clinical practice.
My Background and Approach
I graduated from Teachers College, Columbia University, with Master of Education and Master of Arts degrees in Psychological Counseling and from Brooklyn College (CUNY) with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Psychology. I am also a Diplomate in Logotherapy through the Viktor Frankl Institute of Logotherapy (USA) and an accredited member of the International Association of Logotherapy and Existential Analysis at the Viktor Frankl Institute in Vienna, Austria. I believe that a warm, genuine, and collaborative therapeutic relationship that is based on trust and respect facilitates psychological healing, growth, and well-being. I create a safe and supportive environment for my clients and I equip them with valuable psychoeducation, insight, as well as effective coping and self-care skills.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I incorporate cultural sensitivity into my work to accommodate and respect differences in beliefs, opinions, values, and attitudes of various cultures and traditions, and to honor the diversity of ethnicity, race, age, gender, religion, sexual orientation and identity, and socioeconomic status. I derive inspiration from travel, nature, culture, photography, and a continuous search for meaning. I was born in Odessa, Ukraine and I provide services in English and Russian.
