Mag.a Marianna Grigorijan helps adults ages 21 and older release inner blocks, overcome crises, and realize their personal potential. Thanks to her practical experience in treating complex disorders, she possesses the depth of knowledge and composure needed to safely and reliably guide clients through even the most profound processes.
A particular focus of her work is multilingual expat counseling (in English and Russian). She helps people in international settings settle into new environments, overcome cultural challenges, and build emotional stability.
Her approach is emotion-focused, experience-oriented, and grounded in depth psychology. In addition to cognitive understanding, the primary goal is to make change tangible and experiential where it originates: in the emotional experience. This often facilitates targeted and sustainable processes of personal growth.
(Note: Sustainable change requires time—initial consultations are designed to help you clearly define your individual goals.)
