I specialize in providing couples Counselling and Therapy in Ontario, Toronto. Couples therapy, family therapy, individual therapy, and psychotherapy are all provided by AV-Therapy.
My passion is working with people towards building or restoring healthy relationships and trusting their own capabilities for change and healing.
I have received my Master’s Degree from Moscow State University of Psychology and Education, and have 8+ years of post graduate experience as a psychotherapist working in private practice, educational and clinical settings. I have training in CBT, Experiential Psychotherapy, Somatic Experiencing and Emotionally Focused Therapy, and provide psychotherapy in English and Russian.
My Approach Philosophy
I work from a client-centered perspective, where your thoughts and feelings, your voice and your freedom are the most important. I also have training in CBT, client-centered and somatic approaches and use this knowledge to help you find the right questions to ask yourself, fully experience your life and take actions to reach the goals you set.
I have extensive experience in using CBT to help clients learn skills allowing them to cope with such mood problems as anxiety, depression and anger, but also to handle stress better, improve their self-esteem, become less fearful and grow more confident.
We often get stuck in negative cycles in our relationships because of our emotions. I will help you to work through these emotions, change the dance you dance with your partner, learn a better way of connecting, and create a secure bond.
Emotions are so often too powerful or complex for us to make sense of and handle. I will help you to tune into your emotions and move from numbing or agitation into emotional balance and the ability to trust yourself and engage fully with others.
When we go through traumatic events, the world and even our own body don’t feel like a safe place ever after. Using such methods as somatic experiencing I will help you to discover your own boundaries and inner rhythms, explore your own capacity to regulate and heal, and build resiliency and resources.
