Alina holds a MS.Ed in Mental Health Counseling from Hunter College. She offers both short- and long-term psychotherapy to adults seeking assistance with anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, and relationship difficulties. Her therapeutic style is tailored to each client’s circumstances and draws from a variety of evidenced-based modalities: cognitive-behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, and mindfulness. She is bilingual (English/Russian) and able to conduct therapy for clients who prefer or need a bilingual therapist.
Alina strives to develop a nuanced understanding and appreciation of her clients’ values, needs, and struggles. She provides a warm, non-judgmental, and supportive environment to collaborate with her clients in doing the challenging work of healing from wounds, changing problematic patterns, cultivating a more fulfilling life, and developing a “toolbox” necessary for a path forward.
