Sofia Shtrikman, BPsych
Integrative Psychotherapist
“Помогаю людям справляться со стрессом, тревогой и эмоциональным перегрузом, находить внутреннюю опору и возвращать ощущение устойчивости. Я работаю мягко и бережно, создавая пространство, где можно выдохнуть, услышать себя и постепенно восстановить внутренний баланс. Ко мне обращаются, когда: • тревога и напряжение не отпускают • трудно адаптироваться к жизни в новой стране • накопилась усталость и эмоциональное выгорание, психосоматические симптомы • сложно справляться с чувствами и стрессом • хочется лучше понять себя и свои реакции • хочется наладить отношения с окружающими”
