Counseling and Therapy for Russian Speaking Clients

Although I came to United States a long time ago and have lived in New York City most of my life, I am fluent in Russian and have a connection and deep ties to Russian culture and it's sensibilities.

I can provide counseling and therapy based on my understanding of the immigrant experiences, as well as any adjustments to life in a different country. I welcome Russian speaking as well as people from other countries who are experiencing adjustment difficulties or any other problems to consider me a resource to help through whatever transition they are experiencing.

I provide counseling and therapy in Russian for any personal, relationship, work related or couples issues.

Over the past 20 years, I have treated numerous people from different parts of former Soviet Union, both who have been here a short while as well as many who life in US for many years or even came here at a very young age but have come upon difficulties and wish to get counseling from a therapist who understands their background as well as realities of life here in New York.

  • "I was recommended to Irina by a good friend, who felt very helped by her. I came to New York at the age 7 and basically grew up here. I do, however, feel different from my "American" friends because my parents and extended family are different and I grew up with a different culture. So while I feel totally comfortable and very "American" too, I have some different issues, mostly having to do with my family. It is so helpful to have someone to talk to about these things who really understands what I am talking about and who is so aware of my background but also really understands our life here." Olga, 27
