Your Mind, Your Power
Progress you can see. Results you can feel.
Welcome
If you’ve tried “one‑size‑fits‑all” methods or endless talk without change, you’re in the right place. My work uses your strengths and your weaknesses—both—to build practical paths forward. We track progress session‑by‑session, focus on short, goal‑directed work, and adapt rapidly so you notice tangible improvements in weeks, not years. This isn’t a shortcut; it’s a smarter route.

What’s Different About This Approach
1) Strengths + Weaknesses, Together
Research shows that strength‑based methods (integrating your resources while addressing difficulties) contribute uniquely to better outcomes. A 2023 review and meta‑analysis found a small but significant added benefit when psychotherapy explicitly leverages strengths. [tandfonline.com]
2) Brief and Solution‑Focused
We use brief, future‑oriented strategies to co‑construct solutions—clarifying desired outcomes and amplifying what already works for you. High‑quality reviews and meta‑analyses report medium to large gains with Solution‑Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) across depression, anxiety, and functioning, often within a small number of sessions. [journals.sagepub.com], [tandfonline.com], [researchgate.net]
3) Measurement‑Based Care (MBC)
Every session, we measure what’s changing—symptoms, wellbeing, alliance—using ultra‑brief tools (e.g., ORS/SRS) and share the feedback with you to fine‑tune the plan. The American Psychological Association endorses MBC as core to evidence‑based practice; routine feedback is linked to better outcomes and lower dropout. [apa.org], [apaservices.org], [corc.uk.net], [apa.org]
4) Results Over Recipes
Rather than rigid protocols, we draw from approaches with strong evidence—CBT, ACT, SFBT, and the common‑factors foundation (alliance, empathy, expectations). Large meta‑analyses confirm psychotherapy is effective; in many head‑to‑head trials, no one therapy consistently outperforms others, which is why we personalize and focus on progress.

How Sessions Work (Step‑by‑Step)
- Clarify outcomes
We define clear goals (“What would be better in 4–6 weeks?”), building on your strengths and addressing blockers. [tandfonline.com] - Plan brief interventions
We select short, targeted methods (solution‑focused tasks, cognitive/behavioral experiments, acceptance/skills practice). Brief therapy helps structure change and sustain motivation. [link.springer.com], [journals.plos.org] - Track progress, adjust rapidly
Each session uses MBC with client‑rated outcomes (e.g., ORS/SRS) and alliance feedback; we iterate if progress slows. [apa.org], [corc.uk.net] - Consolidate wins
We capture what worked and translate gains into routines—so results last beyond therapy. Evidence shows ACT and CBT can sustain medium‑term improvements when applied pragmatically. [link.springer.com], [mental.jmir.org]
Why “Progress‑First” Works (Not Ten Years for Nothing)
- Brief therapies are designed for time‑efficient change with focused goals and active methods; they’re widely supported across orientations and conditions. [link.springer.com]
- Routine feedback (MBC/FIT) helps detect plateau or deterioration early, doubling reliable change in some trials and reducing dropout—so you don’t waste months. [link.springer.com]
- Strengths activation enhances engagement and session‑level outcomes, even while addressing symptoms. [tandfonline.com]
- Comparative evidence shows many therapies are similarly effective; therefore, tailoring + measurement is more important than allegiance to any single “cookbook.” [onlinelibr….wiley.com], [hhs.nd.gov]
Services
- Individual Psychotherapy (EN / RU)
Brief, measurement‑based work oriented to your goals—stress, anxiety, mood, performance. [apa.org] - Relationship Coaching‑informed Therapy

Stand‑alone outcome check‑ins with ORS/SRS to evaluate current strategies and plan adjustments. [corc.uk.net]
Psychotherapy Meets Coaching: The Parallel
Like coaching, we emphasize goal clarity, strengths use, and iterative practice. Recent meta‑analyses in coaching report meaningful improvements in goal attainment, self‑efficacy, and performance—especially with integrative, psychology‑informed models. Our psychotherapy borrows these mechanisms while applying clinical safeguards and measurement. [frontiersin.org], [emerald.com]
Evidence Snapshot (Plain English)
- SFBT (brief, strengths‑based) → effective across domains; systematic reviews and meta‑analyses show moderate‑to‑large effectswith few sessions. [tandfonline.com], [journals.sagepub.com]
- MBC / FIT → endorsed by APA; routine outcome monitoring and feedback can improve outcomes and lower dropout. [apa.org], [apaservices.org], [link.springer.com]
- ACT → meta‑analyses show reductions in depression, anxiety, and improved psychological flexibility; effects often maintain at follow‑up. [link.springer.com], [frontiersin.org]
- CBT → effective for depression with moderate‑to‑large effects; in many comparisons, not clearly superior to other bona fide therapies—supporting our progress‑first, personalized stance. [psychiatry…dvisor.com], [psychologytoday.com]
- Common factors (alliance, empathy, expectations) → consistently tied to outcomes; we measure and cultivate them deliberately. [onlinelibr….wiley.com]
What You’ll Notice in the First 4–6 Weeks
- Clear goals and practical steps tailored to you.
- Visible changes tracked each session (graphs/scores you can review).
- Fewer sessions, more focus—brief strategies that respect your time. [link.springer.com], [apa.org]
