Dr. Sviatlana Mitsina-Brown, Psychologist
About me
Are you feeling stuck in frustrating patterns of behavior, or in relationships that are no longer working for you? Do you want to make changes in your life, but feel overwhelmed or unsure of where to start? I would be honored to help you on your journey to improve your connection to yourself and to others, and to increase your satisfaction with your life. I believe in being warm, validating, and non-judgmental with all my clients, and I always appreciate a good pun or even black humor to help lighten the load. I will take time to listen to you so I can understand your concerns and your life experiences. I will then help you prioritize your stressors and your goals, so we can collaboratively develop an action plan focused on building a life that you envision for yourself.

Reviews
These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Dr. Sviatlana Mitsina-Brown. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
Very easy to speak with. I appreciated her listening but also some practical recommendations were also helpful. It truly does help to speak with someone who is impartial to the situation.
