Tatiana's Specialties
Every person who walks through Tatiana’s door, or joins her online, carries a unique story. Her work spans trauma, anxiety, depression, couples therapy, family therapy, children’s mental health, anger management, overthinking and obsessions, fears and phobias, conflict resolution, and pregnancy and postpartum mental health, all approached through the evidence-based lens of Intensive Short-Term Dynamic Psychotherapy (ISTDP).
Whether someone is carrying the weight of unresolved trauma, struggling with anxiety that won’t quiet down, feeling disconnected from themselves through depression, navigating a relationship in crisis, experiencing the emotional complexity of pregnancy or the postpartum period, or raising a child who is struggling to express what they feel, Tatiana meets them exactly where they are.
Her approach is never one-size-fits-all. It is deep, tailored, and rooted in the belief that beneath every symptom lies an emotion waiting to be experienced and understood, and that real, lasting change becomes possible when people find the courage to face it together with her.
Upcoming Courses
Anger is not something to suppress or fear; it is one of your most powerful emotions. Using ISTDP as a foundation, this course helps you understand what your anger is really telling you, experience it safely, and channel it into a constructive force for positive change in your life.
Children feel conflict deeply but often lack the tools to express and manage it. This course uses age-appropriate ISTDP-based techniques, interactive exercises, and engaging activities to help children understand their emotions, resolve disagreements, and build healthy relationship skills from an early age.
Conflict is inevitable; but it doesn’t have to be destructive. Grounded in ISTDP principles, this course gives you practical tools to navigate disagreements, communicate with clarity and empathy, and transform tension into understanding; in your relationships, your family, and your workplace.
Anxiety is not the enemy; it is a signal. This course begins by helping you recognize and understand the physical and cognitive symptoms of anxiety in your body and brain; the tension, the racing heart, the shallow breath, the foggy head, and the lack of concentration; because in ISTDP, the body is where the work begins. From there, we go deeper, exploring what lies beneath these symptoms, breaking free from avoidance patterns, and building lasting emotional freedom.
Does the thought of boarding a plane fill you with dread? This course combines ISTDP techniques, cognitive-behavioral strategies, and knowledge about aviation to help you understand and overcome your fear of flying; so you can finally travel with confidence and ease.
Pregnancy and motherhood are life-changing; and emotionally complex. Drawing on ISTDP principles, this course offers a safe, compassionate space to understand and process the emotional highs and lows of this journey; navigating mood changes, identity shifts, relationship challenges, and the often unspoken struggles of the postpartum period.
