About Nina
As a licensed therapist in New York, I specialize in supporting individuals and couples navigating complex emotional landscapes. My approach centers on helping clients develop self-compassion, explore life purpose, and work through challenging experiences like guilt, shame, and stress.
I have extensive experience supporting diverse populations, including older adults, caregivers, veterans, and individuals from multicultural backgrounds. My therapeutic work focuses on addressing depression, anxiety, grief, and self-esteem challenges with empathy and professional expertise.
My practice is grounded in creating a supportive, non-judgmental environment where clients can explore personal growth, develop emotional resilience, and cultivate meaningful strategies for healing. I believe in honoring each person’s unique journey and supporting them in discovering their inner strength and potential.
Through collaborative and compassionate counseling, I aim to help clients transform difficult emotions, build self-understanding, and move toward more fulfilling lives. I’m committed to walking alongside you with genuine care and professional guidance.

- “Nina is very straightforward and easy to talk to I look forward in continuing with my therapy with her”
- “The ability to find a therapist who speaks my language was a major factor in my decision to start therapy with Regain. Being understood — not only linguistically, but also psychologically and culturally — was extremely important to me and my husband.<br /> <br /> Our therapist, Nina, has a deep understanding of what it means to live in a multilingual, multicultural environment. Her professionalism, compassion, and remarkable ability to truly listen made all the difference.<br /> <br /> When we began therapy, I felt we were at the point of no return in our relationship. But Nina guided us with patience and insight, helping us rebuild communication, learn to listen to each other again, and find new ways to resolve conflicts instead of creating them.<br /> <br /> I highly recommend Nina to Russian-speaking families in the United States who are seeking a therapist that genuinely understands their cultural background and can help restore emotional connection and understanding.”
