Tatyana worked as a psychotherapist within the Russian community in Brooklyn, New York for five years. Currently, she runs a coaching practice. She is in the process of putting together a team of professionals to facilitate a large community project called At Life's Crossroads. This program will embrace different aspects of people's lives, from personal to business management, in order to help clients develop and implement strategies to overcome their obstacles to success. Tatyana was born in the Soviet Union and came to the USA with a strong background in community organizing. After graduating from NYU, she dedicated herself to working with immigrants. She brings to her work with clients her own deep understanding of the immigrant's path to flourishing and success in this country. In her practice, she combines a knowledge of the psychotherapeutic experience with integral systems theory.
