About your counselor
A trusted friend who happens to be an expert
I started Healing Begins Now because I believe everyone deserves access to compassionate, high-quality mental health care. My approach is warm, collaborative, and deeply human. I meet you where you are, without judgment, and walk alongside you as you find your way forward. Sessions are available in English and Russian.

What You Can Expect at Healing Begins Now
From your very first conversation, we're committed to making your experience feel safe, intentional, and genuinely helpful.
A welcoming first conversation
Your first session is about getting to know you — your story, your goals, and what feels most pressing right now. There's no pressure, no judgment, just a warm and open space to begin.
A personalized plan based on your goals
We don't believe in one-size-fits-all therapy. Together we'll build a care plan that reflects your unique needs, values, and the outcomes that matter most to you.
Practical tools you can use between sessions
Healing doesn't stop when the session ends. You'll leave each appointment with concrete strategies and insights you can apply in your everyday life.
