Tamara Mykhaelian

My path into psychotherapy began with medicine. As a psychiatrist, I developed a scientific and clinical perspective on the psyche — attentive, precise, and grounded in respect for its complexity and vulnerability. Later, my professional life led me into the world of business. I worked as a top manager in large systemic companies and served as both an internal and external organizational consultant. This experience taught me to see not only individuals, but systems as a whole — their tensions, crises, points of growth, and ways to restore balance. I am originally from Kyiv, a city where my inner resilience was shaped. Living in different countries and going through significant life transitions taught me flexibility and the ability to stay connected to myself, even when external supports change. My own therapeutic journey allowed me to transform personal qualities into professional tools: sensitivity into empathy, adaptability into flexibility and acceptance. Today, I live and work in Berlin. My multilayered professional and personal experience enables me to work with the psyche as a living, multidimensional structure — where personal history, traumatic experience, bodily responses, and life context intertwine and call for a subtle, individualized approach.
