Ukrainian Therapists in Merrionette Park, IL

We start developing as parents way before our first is born and even before we become pregnant. We start developing as parents when we play with our dolls or play house and imagine the family we will have, the parents we are going to be. Sometimes our dreams do not become a reality. Whether you were diagnosed with infertility, experienced pregnancy loss, postpartum blues, depression, anxiety, or are struggling to connect with your baby. From conception to graduation, these processes are often emotionally charged and can take a toll on your life. Therapy can often provide the space and support necessary to regroup and recover.

My art as a therapist lies in creating a safe and nonjudgmental environment in which my clients feel embraced and empowered to explore new possibilities. Whether you're dealing with anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or simply seeking a more fulfilling life, I'm here to offer you a personalized treatment approach tailored to your unique needs. It can be challenging and disheartening to face struggles alone, but together we can embark on a transformative journey to break free from old patterns.

My career as a therapist has afforded me opportunities to work with individuals from all walks of life. I immigrated to the United States from Kiev, Ukraine and feel intimately familiar with the challenges faced by all of the groups I mentioned. I am able to work with children, adolescents, adults, couples and families and treat a wide variety of presenting issues including anxiety, depression, stress, trauma, adjustment difficulties, grief / loss, relationship problems, family conflict, and addiction. I am proud member of Chicagoland’s Ukraine Community and am fluent in the Russian and Ukrainian languages.

Coming to America as a young child from Ukraine, I learned how to adjust to many different aspects of culture, language and life challenges. I believe that everyone can benefit from having a safe space to process one's own thoughts and lead their life in a way to improve their overall self being.

Do you feel overwhelmed, worried or stuck? Do you feel paralyzed by fear? Does your life have no meaning? I am here to guide you and help you learn how to manage your anxiety, tolerate uncertainty, overcome fears, and become brave and motivated in order to establish a strong sense of self and live a more fulfilling life. I strive to create a safe, empathetic and collaborative environment, so that my clients feel heard, valued and understood. I use a holistic approach, encouragement and humor during my sessions and my treatment plans are individualized for each client in order to provide the most effective, evidence-based treatment.

I offer a compassionate and client-centered approach to therapy that utilizes both holistic and evidence-based practices to help my clients have all the tools they need to make meaningful and inspiring life choices for themselves. I am certified with 200 hours of specialized training in Mindfulness and Yoga techniques and trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing therapy.

I help my clients find effective ways of coping with difficult life circumstances.

Are you feeling overwhelmed by daily stressors? Going through a difficult time? Trying to manage a challenging life transition? Or feeling stuck at work or in a relationship?

Through individual or family therapy, we can work together to find peace again and achieve the goals which you've wanted but have felt out of reach.

I specialize in trauma, anxiety, panic disorders, depression, PTSD and cPTSD. I help my clients work through stress, conflicts, difficult relationships, abuse, manipulation, chronic feelings of “stuck,” life transitions (divorce, break - ups, career changes, immigration/move), and chronic illness.

The first step to making a change is identifying that there is a problem. Each person is so vastly different, there is no one-size fits all approach to therapy. When working with clients, I integrate tenants from various therapeutic approaches to fit the individuals needs that day. Whether it’s anxiety, depression, a significant life-event or change, the right therapist can make all the difference.

Inna integrates cultural fluency, her diverse understanding of cultural intelligence and interpersonal communications in multiple languages allows her to conquer barriers associated with cross-cultural differences.

Therapy is a journey of self-discovery and growth. Together, we will explore the roots of your challenges, identify patterns, and develop strategies to overcome obstacles. I aim to help you build resilience, enhance self-awareness, and create meaningful change. My areas of expertise include anxieties/phobias, low self-esteem/depression, conflict and anger management, grief and trauma, work on overcoming limited beliefs and achieving future goals.

I believe that a person’s life is complex and multi-layered. Each person is marked by unique beauty, even when they find themselves in the darkest of times. We will inspect the past and present threads of your narrative, uncovering the patterns and connections that have influenced your growth, and embrace the unique intersections of your identity and experiences. I recognize that the therapy process is a vulnerable and sacred space, where we will work collaboratively to help you come to the place of healing and restoration.
