Counseling and Therapy with 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 community, culture and it’s sensibilities.

I 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.

Benefits of Working with Russian Speaking Psychotherapist in NYC

I provide counseling and therapy in Russian for any psychological, personal, relationship or work related issues. My training and experience as a psychotherapist for over 20 years and my understanding and connection to Russian culture and experience are of great benefit to Russian speaking clients or those who were raised in families from former Soviet Union.

Over the past 20 years, I have treated numerous people from different parts of the former Soviet Union who have lived in the United States for a short time, as well as many who have lived in the United States or Europe for many years. Many of my clients left the former Soviet Union at a very young age and are experiencing personal or relationship difficulties and wish to get counseling from a Russian psychotherapist, a therapist who understands their background as well as realities of life here in New York.

  • Patient Testimonial
  • "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
