You’re accomplished, capable, and everyone thinks you “have it all together.” Yet lately, you feel tangled inside—by a toxic relationship, a looming separation, the relentless pressure to excel, or past trauma. You’ve tried powering through, but the old strategies are no longer working. You’re ready for real change, ready to dig deep, and ready for tools that go beyond talking in circles.

I’m Valeriya, a trauma-focused psychotherapist specializing in EMDR, the Trauma Resiliency Model (TRM)® Level 1 & 2, mindfulness, and whole-body holistic approaches. I partner with hard-working and ambitious women— devoted mothers, leaders, creatives, entrepreneurs—who want more for themselves and are determined not just to cope, but to transform from within. Together we will:

  • Uncover patterns, not just symptoms. We’ll trace anxiety, burnout, or codependency back to their roots so healing is lasting, not surface-level.
  • Rewire mind and body. Evidence-based trauma work and somatic practices calm the nervous system, release stored wounds and pain, and build new, resilient pathways.
  • Turn insight into action. Sessions are infused with practical tools—grounding skills, boundary and assertive communication language, and relationship strategies—so you leave equipped, not overwhelmed.
  • Create a life that fits. Whether you’re exiting an abusive relationship, redefining your career, or rebuilding after a major life change, therapy becomes the launchpad for the next chapter.

Clients say my style feels like “empathy with a backbone.” I listen without judgment, challenge without shaming, and celebrate every win—large and small. If you’re ready to stop merely surviving, just getting through the day, and start living deliberately and consciously, reach out. The way forward exists; let’s uncover it together.
