Hi, I’m Polina Okhotnikova, an Associate Marriage and Family Therapist (AMFT). My work is rooted in a deep belief that healing happens when we feel safe, supported, and truly seen.
I bring a holistic and integrative approach to therapy, drawing from years of international training and experience across the U.S., and France. My background includes a Bachelor of Science in Psychology, a Master’s degree in Counseling Psychology with a specialization in Marriage and Family Therapy, as well as additional certifications in life and neuro coaching, art therapy, aromatherapy, and Cellular Release Therapy (CRT).I speak English, Russian, and French fluently and have worked with diverse populations, including women navigating trauma, children, and individuals facing anxiety, depression, and low self-esteem.
As someone who has also navigated the highs and lows of personal healing, I understand how hard it can be to take that first step toward change. I believe therapy is not just about talking—it’s about feeling safe, seen, and supported while moving through discomfort toward growth.
In therapy with me, you’ll find a calm, compassionate space where we can explore your inner world together. My goal is to help you reconnect with your strengths, understand your emotions more clearly, and build healthier relationships—with others and with yourself.
If you’re ready to begin, I’m here to walk alongside you.
