Valentina Pishchanskaya-Cayanan, LMFT, CIMHP

I'm a marriage and family therapist who specializes in treating trauma, anxiety, depression, burnout/stress, family conflict and stage of life challenges.

As your therapist, I partner with you as you work through things that may be impacting your life like trauma, anxiety, stress, depression, family conflict and stage of life issues. My holistic approach involves treating all of you and looking at all aspects of wellness. I believe that in order to do true wellness work, we must, also, look at other factors that may be impacting your life. We will look at things like nutrition, movement, sleep, rest, family and cultural expectations and other factors that may be impacting how you feel. Together we will work through what's getting in the way and help you build the life you want.

In session, I try to provide a comfortable and brave space where you feel heard and understood. I try to be myself and create a space where you can be yourself too. My toolbox includes talk therapy, mindfulness and somatic approaches, EMDR, CBT, Language of Emotions, strengths based and solution focused approaches as well as inter-generational trauma work.

As an immigrant (Ukrainian born) who grew up with a foot in each culture, I, also, have a deep understanding of the intricacies involved in honoring your roots while navigating your current environment. I invite you to connect with me over email or phone for a quick chat to see if we are a good fit.
