Credentials

Choosing the profession of a psychology was not by chance. My first occupation was that of a criminal lawyer, and after working with clients for a period of time I noticed a similar trait. Namely, that most had some element of dysfunction in their childhood such as psychological and/or physical abuse, betrayals and exposure to antisocial environments.
In a desire to better understand the motives of human actions and the desire to help people who have stumbled, I began to study psychology more deeply becoming more interested in the secrets of the human soul. Roughly 20 years have passed and directly or indirectly many lives have changed for the better.

As a certified specialist in Jungian Analytical Psychology, Family System Therapy, Psychodrama, Ericksonian Hypnosis and Psychosomatic Therapy, I can provide one-on-one, couples, family and group psychotherapy. I am also trained and experienced in Psycho-Analytic Dream Interpretation and Cinema Coaching.
I have created and lead progressive groups designed for adults and youth. I have publications in international psycho-didactiс journals and psychological conferences in Russia, Ukraine, Germany and Canada. I am fluent in English, Russian and Armenian and have a strong understanding of East-European cultures.

In my work and life I am guided by the following principles:

All people are different, and each one of us is unique and precious
Our behaviours may be forced/learned/implanted and may not necessarily reflect who we really are
A person’s life story is formed by nonlinear cause and effect relationships
Each person has unlimited potential for his/her development and positive change
There are barriers and anchors in each person that stop or hinder the realization of this potential
