Counselor, Marriage & Family Therapist, Psychologist and Psychotherapist
Counselor, Marriage & Family Therapist, Psychologist and Psychotherapist
My name is Marina and I am a **Psychotherapist, Psychologist, and Image Therapist (Image Healing / Image Medicine Practitioner)** with more than **10 years of experience** working with individuals, couples, and families. Since 2018, I have maintained a private practice, helping people navigate life transitions, strengthen relationships, overcome anxiety, emotional burnout, and reconnect with their inner resources for lasting positive change.
I hold a **Master's degree in Psychology** and have completed extensive professional training in **Systemic Family Psychotherapy**, **Fractal Psychology**, and **Image Medicine (Image Healing)**. I studied **Image Medicine** at the **Beijing Kundawell Medical Institute** under the guidance of **Professor Xu Mingtang** and have more than **nine years of dedicated Qigong practice**, integrating the wisdom of Taoist philosophy with contemporary psychotherapy and psychology. I am committed to continuous professional development through advanced education, supervision, and personal therapy, believing that lifelong learning is essential to providing ethical and high-quality psychological care.
My work is based on an **integrative therapeutic approach**, combining systemic, psychodynamic, and person-centered psychotherapy with the principles of **Image Healing**. This allows me to work not only with conscious thoughts and emotions but also with inner imagery, emotional patterns, psychosomatic experiences, and the body's natural capacity for psychological restoration and resilience.
For me, therapy is a safe and compassionate space where people can openly explore their experiences, gain a deeper understanding of themselves, transform limiting behavioral patterns, reconnect with their inner wisdom, and build healthier relationships with themselves and others.
I work with clients experiencing anxiety, chronic stress, emotional burnout, relationship difficulties, family conflicts, divorce, betrayal, grief and loss, low self-esteem, psychosomatic symptoms, life transitions, and personal growth. Alongside psychotherapy, I incorporate **Image Healing** techniques to support emotional regulation, strengthen inner resilience, work with symbolic inner imagery, and facilitate deep psychological transformation.
My goal is not only to help clients overcome difficult moments but also to support them in creating meaningful, lasting change, greater self-awareness, emotional balance, and a more fulfilling life.
