Ms Elena Darmenko
CBT Psychotherapist
“An expat psychologist with 25 years of experience in culturally-sensitive counseling and international cooperation. I help other internationals adjust to the new country, relationship changes, individual past, present and future challenges. In any case, you can always count on my unconditional support!”
About Me
As an expat psychologist with over 20 years’ experience, I understand the unique challenges internationals face. I help you navigate adjusting to a new country, relationship shifts, and personal hurdles. My culturally-sensitive approach ensures our work resonates with your background. You can always count on my unconditional support as we explore your path forward and find steadiness through change.
Approach
You’ll notice sessions move at a steady, pragmatic rhythm that fits an international life: short-term aims, concrete experiments and breathing or creative check-ins between meetings to track what actually shifts. In Moscow or online, in English or Russian, I pair structured thinking with mindful noticing so we reshape habits, resolve role friction and ease relocation weariness through small, repeatable practices. Work is collaborative and homework-light, focused on moments you can own. This approach suits people juggling career, family and cross-border transitions.
