Svetlana G Therapy

Welcome, and kudos for considering therapeutic support. My name is Svetlana, and I help women in their 20s, 30s & 40s understand their needs and speak up for themselves confidently, without guilt or shame. My clients struggle as you do. Despite showing up for their partner and friends, being insightful, loving, and competent, life is hard. When they first come in, they may be overwhelmed with managing their life, sometimes without knowing why…they’re doing the same things as every other adult, but for some reason it isn't cutting it. They aren’t showing up for themselves the way they’d like to, but can’t exactly put their finger on how it could be different. (Clue: it’s more than treating yourself to a manicure and a glass of wine at the end of a long day.) Their depression and anxiety is preventing them from being fully present and feeling good about their lives. They aren’t able to see their strengths and all the things they do well.They feel they’re not meeting their potential at work or with their own personal goals. And their confidence in themselves is tanking. Before they came to see me, they were mystified about why they just couldn’t get it together. Other people seem to have figured out how to manage their lives, why can’t they? They feel that fully taking care of themselves and speaking up for their needs means they’re selfish or see themselves as some exception…but what they’re doing now isn’t working, and they’re ready to stop suffering. Like my clients, you deserve a deeper sense of self-understanding and self-compassion without shame. You deserve to feel confident about stating your needs and saying no to one more thing without guilt. Feeling more peaceful and that your life is manageable are within reach. If you want to experience more calm and confidence, and decrease that sense of overwhelm, I’d love to help you get there.
