Reviews
She was very careful with me and asked me good questions to helped me find out what was going on with my issue. She was very patient and I had a good experience. She was generous with her time and she took her time to get to know me. Very happy with her. She taught me to take care of myself.
I wholeheartedly recommend Svetlana Usanina as an excellent specialist. She put me at ease from the very beginning. She's smart, positive, and intelligent, a true professional. I looked forward to each of our sessions, as I learned so much from her. Thanks to Svetlana, I was able to work through my blocks and traumas. After our session, I was able to call my dad, and we had such a profound conversation that I finally heard the words I'd so missed as a child. Svetlana helped me see problems from a different perspective. Her confident and calm voice always calmed me. I highly recommend Svetlana Usanina as a personal psychologist :)
I am very grateful to Svetlana for her help. She is a true professional, immediately identifying the root of the problem and achieving excellent results in a very short number of sessions. I highly recommend her!
