Why OTDUSHI? My last name has a deep meaning to me.  In my native language, which is Russian, "ot" means "from" and  "dushi" means "souls." Helping people from my soul and connecting with their deeper selves has become my passion. My journey toward healing began with a personal awakening due to trauma. I believe that prioritizing self-care and learning to love yourself, despite past experiences, is the foundation for developing pure empathy, which spreads love and kindness to others.

Through meditation and art therapy, I learned to heal myself. Recognizing my calling, I pursued a Master’s in Mental Health Counseling at Hunter College, NY. During my internship and clinical practice, I supported hundreds of clients facing trauma, depression, and anxiety. These experiences revealed my talent for motivating people to love themselves, foster self-empowerment, heal anxiety, and cultivate healthy relationships with themselves and others.

In my private practice, I focus on helping individuals improve their self-esteem, alleviate anxiety, and build healthy relationships. By integrating a holistic and empathetic approach, I strive to create a safe and supportive environment where clients feel understood and empowered to achieve their goals.
