About Zhanna
Hello there and welcome to my page! My professional journey began in Florida, where I obtained my mental health license in 2013. Since then, I have worked tirelessly to help individuals, families and adolescents, who struggled with issues such as life transitions, career counseling, relationship counseling, gender dysphoria, adoption and foster care, family of origin issues, depression and self-esteem issues, as well as women’s and attachment issues. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I will tailor our dialogue and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. I believe it takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling and happier life, and I applaud you for taking the first steps toward change. I am here to support and empower you in this process.
