I was lucky enough to pick the right profession from the very beginning, therefore my whole adult life was dedicated to psychotherapy. By now, I'm working as a psychotherapist for 13 years, 7 of which I also teach future psychotherapists. My basic education includes:
- 5 years on psychology faculty of Moscow State University of Lomonosov 4 years of training in positive psychotherapy approach 3 more years in this approach to become a trainer And then annual training in different topics, such as depression and anxiety treatment, deepened psychiatry course, sexology, play therapy, working with abuse, etc. My personal life reflects a lot the topics I work with: I lived in 4 countries, and regularly work as a therapist and trainer with European, Slavic, Middle East, Asian and other cultures.

Approach
Treatment Approaches
Positive psychotherapyRecommended for those who want to focus on building strengths, increasing happiness, and enhancing their overall well-being, rather than just focusing on problems.
As a therapist working in a culturally sensitive approach, I know very well that the idea of normality varies a lot depending on which micro- or macro-enviroment you live in. Therefore, we never talk about "what is right" with my clients, we explore what capacities they learned to demonstrate and what capacities are expected in the environment they want to fit in. It doesn't really matter if we are trying to fit in the reality of new relationship, new culture or new gender/social norms, this approach helps to balance between keeping your own identity, values and finding a place in this world. I can help if:
- You changed your culture and struggle with adjusting to the new environment You feel it's hard to fit in the society around you
- You suspect or know that you are neurodivergent and need to find your way in neurotypical world
- You survived some hard events and want to find words for what happened or stop feeling isolated from others by those experiences
- You are interested in understanding how you "function" or what's your own unique way of existing
