Cognitive Behavior Therapy
Effective resolution of depression, anxiety disorders, social anxiety, and panic attacks.
In a few sessions, you will start treating most aspects of your life in a healthier way. That’s how you are gradually learning to be the therapist for yourself.
Learn About Me
Issues I help with:
What you should expect
We will immediately focus on what concerns you today and what has brought you to me. With a focus on changing the present and the future.
Together, we will set the goals of therapy and make a plan. I will tell you what we can achieve and at what time.
We will work at the level of your thoughts, beliefs, and patterns of behavior generated by them. I will help you look at your problems in a new way, and take a “helicopter view” of the situation.
At each stage of the therapeutic process, you will understand what is happening and for what.
I will teach you the skills of introspection and helping yourself. I will help you formulate new, healthier, and more adaptive beliefs and patterns of behavior in problem situations.
As a result, I will teach you to be a therapist to yourself.
*Psychotherapeutic sessions can be conducted in Ukrainian, English or Russian.
What is definitely not going to happen
You are not going to lie in the dark on the couch, immersing in traumatic childhood memories. And I am not going to smoke cigars :)
You will not have to stir up old wounds and point fingers: Mom didn’t care enough and Dad was too strict.
We are not going to reach your subconscious by some roundabout ways to explain your problems.
About Therapy
Cognitive Behavior Therapy
CPT is a psychotherapeutic approach that has demonstrated high effectiveness in solving psychological problems such as depression, anxiety disorders, obsessive-compulsive disorders (OCD), social anxiety, and panic attacks.
A large evidence base has confirmed that CPT is comparable in effectiveness to drug treatment for the conditions described above.
However, unlike medications, the skills you acquire in the process of cognitive behavioral psychotherapy remain with you even after the treatment is over.
I strive to help you recognize and change the behavioral and thinking patterns that hinder you from fully living your life. I will be your partner on the path to desired changes, helping you learn more about the reasons behind your state and provide you with tools to cope with these reasons.
In the therapeutic process, I focus on your individual style and needs, relying on your unique strengths and talents (even if you may currently believe you don't have them). After all, despite symptoms being similar, people are not.

About me
I graduated from Dnipro National University (Ukraine) and got a Master's Degree in Psychology. I’ve been working in Human Resources and have been helping people reveal their potential and find their vocation for 10 years.
In different periods I had my own psychotherapy including Gestalt, Psychoanalysis, Humanistic, and Cognitive Behaviour approaches. And yet I choose the last one to study myself since I side with evidence-based therapy for different mental conditions and disorders.
I studied Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) at the Beck Institute founded by Aaron Beck, the author of the method. The training was taught by his daughter, Judith Beck.
My initial areas of interest were anxiety and depressive conditions due to my personal life experience, which generously provided material for study, reflection, and self-reflection ;)
I aim to help you recognize and change your thinking and behavior patterns, that do not let you live your life to its fullest.
I am going to be your partner on the way to desirable changes. I will help you become more aware of the reasons that resulted in your current condition and provide you with tools to handle it.

If you doubt whether it is worth trying
In different periods of life, we all experience crises that affect our emotional and physical state, preventing us from living fully and happily. And if most people are not inclined to postpone a visit to a doctor, many, unfortunately, do not rush to seek help in solving psychological problems.
However, the best time to turn to psychotherapy is a life challenge full of doubts and a deep feeling that something — or even everything — is going "wrong." You may find that your usual ways of coping no longer work. Periods of such "turbulence" often lead to increased anxiety or depression.
Psychotherapy is the way to yourself, to that real part of self, in which there are answers that are right for you. In this collaborative process, I will help you better understand and change the patterns of behavior that are holding you back from the life you would like to live.
All the best to you,
and be healthy.
