LP, 20 years of experience
I am a psychologist with 20 years of clinical experience, offering psychotherapy to children, teens, and adults. I work with individuals facing trauma, depression, anxiety, and behavioral issues, including sexual behavior problems. Additionally, I specialize in helping people manage impulse control difficulties, obsessive-compulsive thoughts and behaviors, and eating disorders. My approach is tailored to each individual’s needs, fostering healing and personal growth.
Clients can expect their first session with me to be welcoming, collaborative, and focused on understanding their current challenges and finding ways to move forward. Overall, the first session is about building trust, gaining clarity on your challenges, and laying the foundation for progress. My goal is for you to leave feeling understood, supported, and empowered to begin working toward positive change.
I have extensive knowledge of diagnostic methods and psychotherapy techniques. Over the years of my practice, I have worked with culturally diverse clients of different ages
I specialize in working with adults and teenagers who are facing anxiety, depression, trauma, or life challenges that are impacting their emotional well-being and daily functioning. I have a strong background in working with individuals who have experienced trauma, whether it be from childhood abuse, personal loss, or traumatic life events. My clients often seek a non-judgmental, empathetic environment where they can freely express themselves and explore the root causes of their struggles. They value a collaborative approach to therapy and are ready to actively engage in the process of healing and self-discovery.

Over the past year, Svetlana has really taken the best approach to be there for me. During my moments of lows and highs, she was there to provide comfort and support. I think she ask excellent thought-provoking questions that highlight deeper issues that need to be worked on. I've never felt judged or uneasy when sharing my experiences. She really made my experience with therapy easy and enjoyable.
I use CBT with wide range on issues such as anxiety and depression, as well as trauma
SFBT is a short-term goal-focused evidence-based therapeutic approach, which helps clients change by constructing solutions rather than focusing on problems. I use it to address a variety of issues, such as eating disorders, anxiety, depression, relationship and self-esteem issues
This approach is often most beneficial for people who want a more focused, goal-oriented approach to therapy
TF-CBT is effective for anyone who has experienced individual trauma or multiple traumatic event. I use it to help teens and adults learn skills to cope with trauma, face and resolve trauma and related concerns.
It is a flexible and multifaceted approach to therapy that allows me to use the most effective methods available to address each individual client's needs.
