«Искусство жить — это умение изящно и легко размещать себя в любом формате жизни — в пространстве миниатюры и монументальной живописи, бедности и богатства, физического достоинства и убогости болезни, многоцветья жизненной перспективы и минимализма последних дней и минут.»

What I can do for you?

You are very welcome! My name is Maria. I am a clinical psychologist trained and practised largely in Moscow (2011-2022). More about professional background. My principal clinical experience lies within psychological long and short-term therapy. Possible reasons to come.

Thanks to 12 years of practical work I have become experienced to help with anxiety, depression, anger management issues, self-destructive tendencies, grief, extreme trauma and dissociative behaviors resulting from emotional or physical abuse. I have been developing extensively in the field of sudden loss, consequences of violence; post-traumatic stress disorder, borderline and narcissistic personality disorders, endogenic disorders (such as paranoid schizophrenia, mood disorders only in cooperation with psychiatric institutions). And I am willing to assist with less severe conditions as well.

My professional activities include therapeutic groups (face-to-face and online) providing psychological support alongside with clinical educational seminars for psychologists.

Current location: Face-to-face collaboration is most likely impossible right now. I don't live in Moscow anymore. And my place of living is not permanent yet (the actual country is Uzbekistan).

Affiliation: I am fully accredited and recognised as a clinical psychologist in the country of my origin and in countries that accept qualifications from Russia without any aditional assessment and training. My most extensive training in psychotherapeutic methods has been in Jungian psychoanalysis. My current affiliation status is as a diploma candidate in the International Association for Analytical Psychology.
