Lana Grintsvayg, LCSW

At different stages of our lives, we all need somebody who can listen to what we have to say, to pay attention to our needs, to make an objective observation, and to provide us with help, encouragement, and motivation to change things for the better. I am a compassionate, experienced (20+ years) therapist who will support you in dealing with challenges, burdens, or fears, feelings of anxiety, depression or frustration that come your way.

My approach is collaborative and deeply rooted in humanistic and person-centered values. My practice includes individual therapy with adults and children, couples therapy, and parent counseling. Each client is unique and may need different things from therapy, so I incorporate a dynamic approach, including play-therapy, Floortime modality, art, cognitive-behavioral techniques, psychodynamic reflection and relaxation exercises.
Part of my practice focuses on working with parents of impulsive and oppositional children and children who have been diagnosed with ADHD, PDD, Autistic spectrum or Asperger's Disorder. I am an ICDL-licensed expert in DIR/Floortime, a leading evidence-based approach to helping individuals on the autism spectrum and other neurodevelopmental differences. I speak English, Russian, and Ukrainian.
