Psychotherapy

A welcoming space to explore the many layers of who we are—from emotional, cognitive, and physical patterns to cultural identity—fostering inner discovery and deeper connection.

We’re honored and excited to work with individuals across the lifespan—from teens to older adults—offering both short-term support and longer-term exploration, whether online, in the office, or out on a walk.

Many people come to us navigating:

  • PTSD, complex trauma and grief

  • anxiety, depression and burnout

  • identity questions, life transitions and existential explorations

  • relationship and family challenges, and

  • feeling disconnected from themselves and/or others.

We believe that inner alignment begins to unfold when we embrace the full complexity of who we are—body, mind, emotions, culture, history, and identity—observing and uncovering the deep intelligence and wisdom already within. Our team brings together diverse lived experiences, cultural perspectives, and clinical training.

Whether drawing from somatic and trauma-focused approaches like Sensorimotor Psychotherapy and EMDR, relational and psychodynamic work, or mindfulness and tango therapy, we shape each process to reflect the needs, values, and goals of the individual.

To learn more about how we can walk alongside you in your growth, please visit our About page. There, you’ll find more about our team, the challenges we work with, and the approaches we offer.

We invite you to schedule a free 15-minute consultation call.

We are currently serving clients in person on the Westside of Los Angeles and virtually across California, Oregon, Utah, New Jersey, New York, and Florida.

Otlivka Wax Healing

What is Otlivka Wax Healing? 

Otlivka Wax Healing is a multidimensional form of energy healing, rooted in Indigenous Slavic sacred practices.

Using melted beeswax as a conduit, it engages subconscious processes, facilitates energetic releases, addresses interpersonal challenges, and deepens connection with one’s inner guidance and embodied self. Aligned with the principles of energy and spiritual psychology, this method addresses emotional, cognitive, somatic, spiritual, and environmental aspects of a person’s experience.

Who Is It For?

Otlivka Wax Healing can be particularly helpful for individuals experiencing:

  • emotional overwhelm,

  • chronic stress and anxiety,

  • feeling of stuckness and fatigue,  

  • challenges in relationships and family life, and 

  • culturally meaningful experiences such as the “evil eye.”

While not a form of psychotherapy, this practice can help foster clarity, calm, and a renewed sense of balance—both internal and relational.

How It Works

Every person emits a unique biofield—a subtle, measurable electromagnetic field shaped by various factors, such as emotions, thoughts, physical health, and environmental influences. From a physics perspective, beeswax is a natural dielectric material capable of absorbing and retaining energy. This property allows wax to serve as a sensitive medium capturing both subtle and pronounced vibrational patterns within a person’s biofield. This interaction facilitates an energetic release, allowing the person’s biofield to recalibrate and begin to flow in a more balanced way.

As wax solidifies, it captures subtle cues from the person’s biofield, offering symbolic reflections of emotional patterns, interpersonal challenges, and energetic dynamics. When integrated into a broader healing process, interpretations of these patterns can deepen awareness of self and others, support emotional insight and regulation, and reveal pathways toward greater alignment with one’s values, needs, and life direction.

From a spiritual perspective, Otlivka is a sacred process held in reverence and guided by divine forces. While the journey begins with setting an intention, neither the practitioner nor the client controls what unfolds. Instead, there is trust that what needs to emerge will do so in alignment with a greater design—timely, relevant, and purposeful.

Energy Systems Therapy

What is Energy Systems Therapy?

Energy Systems Therapy is a body-oriented healing modality rooted in ancient Slavic healing traditions that engage the body’s energetic rhythms. Reflecting the principles of energy psychology, somatic therapy, and psychosomatic theory, this holistic approach promotes coherence across physical, emotional, and energetic systems, supporting the body’s inherent capacity to regulate, integrate, and restore itself. 

Who Is It For?

Energy Systems Therapy can be especially supportive for people who are:

  • Experiencing fatigue, burnout, or stress

  • Managing chronic conditions

  • Preparing for or recovering from surgery

  • Looking for non-invasive support to improve their overall health and well-being.

How It Works

This work begins with the understanding that the body is in constant motion—through electrical signaling, cellular activity, and subtle energetic currents. Under stress, illness, or the weight of unresolved emotional experience, these rhythms can become disrupted.

Through light hand contact, the practitioner engages with the body’s energy field to assess and reflect its current patterns. There is no giving or taking of energy. Instead, the practitioner’s hands act as a mirror—facilitating a subtle, responsive feedback loop that invites the body to recognize areas of imbalance and begin the process of reorganization. This is similar to resonance: much like how two tuning forks begin to vibrate in harmony when brought close together, the body is gently reminded of its own innate rhythm.

Much like somatic therapy, this work recognizes that the body is not separate from emotion but a deep holder of lived psychological experience. It also shares the belief that healing often begins not through insight alone, but through attending to the body’s signals and supporting its natural movement toward regulation.

Grounded in psychosomatic understanding, this approach acknowledges that emotional and psychological experiences are often stored within specific organ systems. While the exact patterns may vary across cultures and individuals, certain organs are often associated with particular emotional themes.

During sessions emotional insight may arise through dialogue, bodily sensation, or quiet realization. The process is collaborative—guided by both the practitioner’s presence and the client’s inner knowing. It helps the client reconnect with the emotional signals stored in the body and creates space for reflection, relief, emotional processing and mind-body integration. Sessions are often described as calming, grounding, or clarifying. 

Session Options:

A course of 10 sessions is recommended to allow the body time to reorganize and settle into a more sustainable internal rhythm. While not a psychotherapeutic method in itself, Energy Systems Therapy may be offered on its own or integrated into psychotherapy.

  • Katya's wax work process had a lasting impact on me and was practical as it was illuminating. As part of the process, she brought forth the power of prayer. Hard to put it into words but the experience felt like "grace" and I found myself in a lovely calming affirming mood. She then used melting wax as a way to externalize and explore how my energetic field can be manifested in the wax form. Getting to explore an external manifestation shifted my internal experience. It helped me get out of a cognitive head space which, in and of itself, is illuminating to notice just how often I am not embodied and how shifting to consider my overall field helped settle my nervous system for the rest of the day and promoted more mindfulness further along.

    — Wax Healing Client

  • I have seen a lot of therapists throughout my life. Like…a lot more than an average person. And some definitely stand out more than others - but there are few who are truly special. Katya is one of those therapists. Her kindness and warm demeanor makes it easy to connect with her. You can tell that she truly cares about the wellbeing of her clients and is not just there to get through the hour. She is there to help you heal. No matter how complicated it is or long it takes. She roots for you in a way that makes you feel like you always have someone on your side. And she always creates a safe space for you to be able to explore whatever is going on. There are not many places my inner parts feel truly safe - but with Katya, they trust that no matter what is going on, they will be ok. And that is something special.

    — Psychotherapy Client

  • I received healing body work from Katya after an extensive surgical procedure. My sessions with Katya left me feeling increased energy and elevated mood. I understood the goal to be restoring or balancing my body’s energy for better health. Katya utilized hands-on, hands-off, and distant healing. Katya’s gentle, caring, knowledgeable manner allowed me to take in what she had to offer. The perspective Katya provided increased my ability to perceive and feel more part of my body’s overall healing, raising my consciousness to the extent of the impact on all my systems. This work allowed me to feel a settling inside and much more myself again.
