Crisis Resources & Emergency Help
This page exists because I work with people — and sometimes a person needs help immediately.

If you or someone near you is in acute crisis — suicidal thoughts, unbearable pain, a sense of having no way out — please reach out to one of the services below. All of them are available 24/7, anonymously and free of charge.

My role as a psychologist is not crisis intervention. I work with those ready for ongoing therapy. But I want you to know where to turn in the hardest moment.

If it's not a crisis, but you're struggling

Anxiety, a sense of being lost, loneliness in emigration — this is exactly what I work with. If you feel you need support but are not in an acute situation, you are welcome to write to me or book an initial consultation. Sessions are held online with Russian-speaking clients worldwide.
