Introduction

Welcome! I’m Katya, a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) serving individuals in Chicago’s River North neighborhood and throughout the Chicagoland area via telehealth. I have been practicing for over 5 years I provide a warm, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where clients can explore challenges related to anxiety, relationships, communication, work stress, and life transitions. My approach is collaborative and individualized, drawing from DBT, CBT, ACT, Person-Centered, and Humanistic therapies to help clients build insight, resilience, and meaningful change. My goal is to instill confidence within my clients, one conversation at a time. Outside of work, I enjoy reading, exercising, playing piano, and spending time with my husband and two children.
