Hello! I’m Ksenia, a psychologist and psychotherapist with over 12 years of experience. I work using two therapeutic approaches: Gestalt therapy and transference-focused psychotherapy. My clients consistently report significant improvements in their lives following therapy.

I help clients achieve meaningful changes in their careers and personal lives, overcome negative family patterns, navigate crises, and improve communication and relationships. I support the development of self-confidence, overcoming insecurities and fears, establishing healthy boundaries, enhancing emotional intelligence, resilience, and self-acceptance.

I address emotional instability, anxiety, uncontrollable aggression, and conduct psychological and mental health assessments. I treat borderline personality disorder, narcissistic personality disorder, depression, panic attacks, anxiety disorders, and ASD.

My primary goal is personal growth, enabling clients to find fulfillment in their work, love, friendships, and life overall.

I use evidence-based methods with proven effectiveness, validated by numerous studies. Gestalt therapy focuses on deep self-discovery and rapid personal change, addressing internal conflicts, external challenges, and crises. Transference-focused psychotherapy helps uncover and resolve deep-seated traumas that may go unrecognized but still impact a person’s life. Its effectiveness is well-documented, even in cases where prior therapy did not yield the desired results.

Personal therapy significantly enhances quality of life. Just one to two hours per week and attentive listening can lead to noticeable improvements for both the client and those around them.
