Мария Юдина (Moscow) Psychologist

Hello, my name is Maria, I am a clinical psychologist, psychotherapist.

I provide individual consultations for adults and adolescents from 16 years of age.

In my work, I use process-oriented and narrative approaches, and also integrate methods from other therapeutic areas.

For me, psychotherapy is a process of joint research, searching for meaning, resources, internal supports, values, and ways for change. This is the creation of a safe space of trusting relationships, which makes it possible to gain new experiences. This is a movement towards integrity and self-awareness.

• From my point of view, there is no “universal technique” that will suit everyone. Therefore, I try, first of all, to pay attention to the client’s personality, since we are always more than the problem that has arisen in our life.
• It seems to me important to pay a lot of attention to the atmosphere of contact, creating an accepting, non-judgmental, supportive space where you can openly share your experiences with me and try to find ways for change.
• For me, the client himself is the author of his life, so I strive not to impose my values ​​and my perception of the world on you.

Experience: 1 year
Working days: any day of the week
Opening hours: from 12:00 to 21:00

What topics do I most often get asked about?

• A feeling of loss of meaning in life (I don’t know why I live), apathy (I don’t want anything, life has lost its colors, what used to be of interest has become indifferent)
• Life crises, difficulties with building a life perspective (I don’t know where I’m going, I don’t understand what I need).
• Help in adapting to changes (change of job, place of residence, etc.)
• Difficulties of self-determination (who am I in this world?). I want to understand myself (my needs, motives, feelings, values).
• Anxiety, fears, guilt.
• Self-doubt, low self-esteem.
• Relationship problems:

1. With a partner: frequent quarrels, my partner doesn’t understand/hears me, it seems like my feelings have disappeared/I don’t understand how I feel;
2. With parents: difficulties of separation (I want to separate, start living my own life, but it doesn’t work), problems of interaction between different generations.

• Feeling of loneliness; unable to build close relationships.
• Constant self-criticism, lack of self-acceptance, in particular, dissatisfaction with one’s appearance/weight/body.
• Perfectionism (never manages to achieve perfection, therefore I am always dissatisfied with myself; high expectations and reality do not coincide).
• Psychosomatics (bodily symptoms bother you, but doctors don’t find their cause)
