Alina Lavrishcheva

Psychotherapist

An experienced psychotherapist, EMDR accredited practitioner. Transactional Analysis. I work with trauma, relationship issues, self-worth and more.

About Me

I am a psychotherapist in St. Petersburg, Russia. I work with couples and individuals on relationship problems, cross-cultural concerns, divorce, and abuse. I offer confidential online and in-person sessions and clear steps you can practice between meetings.

Approach

Sessions move between targeted EMDR processing and transactional analysis–informed exploration, so you notice how past hurts shape present choices. Whether meeting locally or online, I pace sessions to your tolerance, mixing bilateral work, short experiments, and clear practices to try between meetings. I track changes with you, gently expanding emotional safety and reshaping relationship patterns while attending to shame and grief as they arise. This way of working often helps adults and couples navigating cross-cultural shifts, separation, or recovery from abuse.
