Transforming Pain into Power.

I provide outpatient therapy for adults in California and New York, with clinical specialties in trauma and complex PTSD, dual diagnosis, depression, anxiety, and relational concerns. My therapeutic approach is somatic and holistic, integrated with evidence-based practices including Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Attachment-Based work.

Research supports telehealth as an effective option for many outpatient therapy clients, including many people seeking support for anxiety, depression, trauma, stress, and relationship concerns. However, telehealth is not appropriate for every person or every clinical situation. During intake, we assess whether online therapy is clinically appropriate and whether a higher level of care, in-person support, or additional resources may be a better fit.

This practice is a solo licensed private practice, not a platform that matches you with rotating therapists. One credentialed clinician (Lyudmila Kisina, LMFT, LAADC) provides all sessions. The clinical approach is an integration of evidence-based cognitive methods with somatic, trauma-informed, mind-body approaches. The dual licensing in California and New York is useful for clients who travel between the two states or whose circumstances require flexibility in where they receive care.

Most clients chose to book an intake, which is our first 1 hour clinical session. During this time, we assess your needs and concerns, discuss your care, and collaborate on a treatment plan. Many readers find the answers to their questions on this website. Check out the 'For New Clients' section.
