Integrative trauma-informed therapy — where insight meets real change.

About Maria

I'm a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor specializing in anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD, and persistent patterns that don't seem to shift in traditional therapy — which is often what brings people to KAP. I've been deepening my knowledge of psychedelic-assisted therapy since 2021 and partner with Journey Clinical to offer KAP as part of a structured, integrative process. My approach combines relational depth with trauma-informed and somatic methods. I'm currently completing my Clinical Trauma Professional certification, with a focus on EMDR, Polyvagal Theory, and Somatic Therapy. I work in English and Russian with clients navigating anxiety, depression, identity, immigration, and stress that doesn't have a clean category. Whether you arrive curious and hopeful or skeptical and exhausted — both are welcome here.
