– The Visionary Behind Transformational Healing

At One Step Counseling, I focus on helping individuals transform their lives through compassionate and innovative care. I bring both expertise and empathy to my practice. I draw on my strong academic background, which includes an M.S. in Mental Health Counseling and a PhD in Advanced Studies in Human Behavior.

As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) and Master Level Certified Addiction Professional (MCAP), I address both the emotional and physiological aspects of healing with a holistic approach.

In my past, I completed medical school and the equivalent of psychiatric clinical residency (ordinatura) in Saratov, Russia. My expertise was extended through postgraduate training in psychotherapy and neurobiology.

I created the Rapid Transformational Recovery Program, which has helped many clients overcome addictions and eating disorders. I also provide innovative therapies as a Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) Provider, Hypnotherapist, and NLP Master and Practitioner. Through a blend of creativity, science and compassion to deliver meaningful results.

Beyond traditional therapy, I integrate wellness techniques into my sessions. As a certified health coach, primary nutrition advisor, yoga teacher, and Qi Gong Level I instructor, I offer a comprehensive approach that nurtures the mind, body, and spirit. My client-centered therapeutic style creates a supportive and empathetic space for both children and adults to heal and thrive.

At One Step Counseling, I invite you to take the first step toward lasting recovery and well-being. Together, we’ll navigate life’s challenges and create a path to healing—one step at a time.

Starr – A Therapist’s Best Sidekick

Starr isn’t just a therapy dog—she’s a four-pound force of nature with a flair for making everyone feel at home. Her style? Think tiny executive meets professional snuggler, with just a touch of diva.

Warm & Welcoming – Starr believes in instant rapport. Whether you’re a first-time client or a regular, she’ll greet you with an enthusiastic tail wag, a little bounce, and the undeniable feeling that you are, in fact, her favorite person today.

Empathic Listener – No judgment here. Starr is a master at deep, soulful eye contact, making you feel truly seen. She won’t interrupt, though she may gently place a paw on you for added emotional support (and possibly to remind you she exists).

Comfort First, Always – Therapy can be hard, but Starr’s presence is a reminder that you’re safe. Whether she’s curled up nearby, offering a well-timed boop, or simply existing as an impossibly cute stress reliever, she’s there to make sessions a little easier.

A Little Sass, A Lot of Heart – Starr may be tiny, but she’s got a big personality. She’s not afraid to enforce boundaries (if your lap is available, she’s taking it). She fully expects her emotional labor to be rewarded with a treat.

The Ultimate Icebreaker – Not sure what to say? No problem. Starr is happy to help with a perfectly timed zoomie or an adorable sneeze to lighten the mood.

At the end of the day, Starr’s style is all about warmth, presence, and just enough mischief to remind you that healing doesn’t always have to be so serious. Therapy with a side of fluff? That’s just how she rolls.

Pearl – Regal Director of Calm and Cuddles.

Meet Pearl – The Office Queen & Starr’s Fluffy Mom

If Starr is the CEO of Cuteness, then Pearl is the Regal Director of Calm and Cuddles. As Starr’s equally fluffy (but slightly more sophisticated) mom, Pearl brings a sense of grace, wisdom, and the perfect amount of side-eye to the office every day.

Elegant but Approachable – Pearl moves with the confidence of a queen but has the heart of a therapist in fur form. Whether she’s lounging in the sun like a true diva or making her rounds to check in on everyone, she exudes an air of soft reassurance. And maybe a little bit of “I was here first, Starr.”

Therapy Dog Extraordinaire – While Starr specializes in high-energy greetings, Pearl’s style is more zen master. She’s the one who will sit next to you with a quiet, knowing presence. She reminds you that you are not alone—and that, yes, petting her is a valid form of emotional healing.

The Ultimate Role Model – Starr may be the office comedian, but Pearl is the matriarch. She subtly guides her daughter on the fine art of counseling through fluff. She’s patient, composed, and only slightly judgmental when Starr gets too excitable.

Boundaries, Darling – Pearl is all about self-care. If she needs a break, she takes it. If she’s in the mood for affection, she lets you know. And if Starr gets too wild? A single, well-timed look sets everything back in order.

A Healing Presence – There’s something about Pearl’s quiet confidence and warm snuggles that makes any bad day feel a little better. She’s proof that sometimes, the best therapy is simply being in good company—preferably with a fluffy, wise mentor by your side.

Together, Pearl and Starr make the perfect team—one full of fun, the other full of wisdom, both full of love. Therapy has never been this cozy.
