About me
Hi, I’m Polina Okhotnikova, AMFT, an Associate Marriage and Family Therapist with Find Your Balance Center for Growth & Change. I am fluent in English, Russian, and French, and I work with individuals navigating concerns such as anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, self-esteem, and relationship challenges. Many clients come to therapy feeling disconnected, overwhelmed, or unsure how to move forward. My goal is to provide a supportive, compassionate space where you can feel seen, explore your experiences, and begin building a path toward healing and emotional balance.
My approach is holistic and integrative, drawing from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), coaching-informed techniques, and expressive practices such as art-based and mind-body approaches. I tailor each session to your needs, helping you deepen self-awareness, process emotions, and develop practical tools for growth.
I have experience working with diverse populations, including individuals navigating trauma, anxiety, and self-esteem challenges. My style is empathetic, collaborative, and grounded in creating a space where you feel supported and understood. If you’re ready to begin your healing journey, I invite you to reach out to schedule an appointment or consultation.
