Hello! My name is Anastasia. I am a psychotherapist (MD, PhD) and a clinical psychologist at the Chaika Clinic in Tbilisi. In my practice, I combine a strong medical background and insights from neuroscience with modern methods of evidence-based psychotherapy.
Core Principles
- Evidence-Based Approach: I rely strictly on methods with scientifically proven efficacy, as well as the core principles of medical ethics and deontology.
- Holistic View: I look at each situation comprehensively – from the nervous system's biochemistry to your personal values, thoughts, and behaviors.
- Safe Space: I provide an egalitarian, non-judgmental, and fully confidential environment.
Issues I Work With:
- Emotions and Mood: apathy, low energy, mood swings, existential crises, guilt, shame, and resentment.
- Anxiety Disorders: panic attacks, phobias, intrusive thoughts, health anxiety, and psychosomatic pain.
- Productivity and Self-Esteem: burnout, perfectionism, procrastination, and self-doubt.
- Stress and Adaptation: sleep disturbances, challenges related to relocation, emigration, or career transitions.
Therapeutic Approaches
No clichés or templates – only a personalized plan and clear behavioral frameworks based on:
- CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) – working with automatic thoughts, core beliefs, and behavior patterns.
- ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy) – developing psychological flexibility, mindfulness skills, and building a value-driven life.
- Psychoeducation and self-regulation skills training.
