About me
Galina Tyukhtina,
family therapist
For over 13 years, I have been helping people find their path in life, decide on a profession and occupation, develop personal skills and emotions, clarify and achieve goals, identify and manifest their potential, and heal traumas.
I use different methods of work, from traditional (gestalt therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, coaching) to modern and field ones (working with elements, runes, constellations, and play therapy).
I constantly improve my education and apply the acquired methods in practice. Having initially had a financial and economic education and having worked in business for more than 20 years (startups, large corporations, medium-sized businesses), I also received a psychological education at the St. Petersburg Gestalt Institute so that I could work with people, helping them expand their horizons and explore themselves and their capabilities.
I received my certification as a nurturing parenting provider in May 2022. Since then, I have regularly provided nurturing parenting services for parents.
I got my master's degree in psychology at Pace University, New York, in May 2023 and my license as an associate marriage and family therapist (New Jersey) at the end of June 2023.
Since 2022, I have been actively working with children and adolescents who have autism (especially those who are nonverbal), ADHD, adjustment disorder, aggressive behavior, emotional dysregulation, child-parent conflict, trauma, and adaptation to emigration.
I also provide family therapy for all families.
MY APPROACH
Follow the client's motions
We are all different, with our own treats, values, and beliefs. Each of us needs an individual approach. I do not have a universal answer to all questions. Depending on who comes to me and what topic we are working on, the right tool, method, and movement is chosen. I can say one thing for sure: I only work with those who have a request, who are ready to move forward and work with themselves to assemble their new configuration. If you just have a desire to talk and at the same time you do not intend to change anything in your life, it is better to find another specialist, because with me your life will never be the same.
