Валентин Мингалёв (Moscow) Psychologist

Hello, my name is Valentin Mingalev.

I am a family and adolescent psychologist, psychoanalyst, certified coach, organizational psychologist, teacher of psychology and coaching. Awarded a commemorative medal of the President of Russia for work with youth.

As a psychologist, I work individually in the format of short-term positive psychotherapy, combining elements of psychoanalytic, existential, cognitive behavioral psychotherapy and coaching, as well as with families in the format of systemic family psychotherapy. This approach allows my clients to understand the problem in 1-2 consultations and outline ways out of the crisis situation.

Married, son 6 years old. Since childhood I have been interested in sports: alpine skiing, mountain biking, enduro motorcycles. I have 17 years of experience in the field of personnel management and development, including foreign managerial and entrepreneurial experience. I speak English and Spanish, I trained in England in 1994, and lived and worked in Costa Rica in 2014-2017.

I provide professional psychological assistance in resolving difficult life situations. In my work I guarantee you confidentiality and unconditional acceptance.

Credo.
I believe that the essence of psychotherapy is working with meaning. The way out of the crisis lies in living a conscious life - Buddha called this enlightenment. The only difference between the approaches is that in psychotherapy we come to peace of mind through awareness of the characteristics of our emotional reactions, our behavior and thinking. The ancients called the psyche - the inner world of a person - a microcosm. Socrates believed that the world can only be known if you first know yourself. According to the Indians of Mexico, there are seven cardinal directions in the world; in addition to the four we know, there are three more directions: “up”, “down” and “inward”. Having looked inside oneself, realizing oneself, it is impossible to remain the same; psychologists call this state of mind authentic, Confucianism calls it following one’s Tao, and the Vedic tradition calls it following one’s Dharma, one’s destiny. This is the only path of harmony and success known to me; the most important thing is to allow yourself to be heard, to understand yourself.
