Welcome!

My name is Ksenia Makarova and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker from the NYU Silver Social Work School. I am passionate about improving people’s mental health and mental clarity in their everyday life. Through psychotherapy, I can help you uncover the truths of what you have been suppressing. This allows clients to deal with anxiety, self image, performance, stress, and other emotions. I want you to leave the self sabotage behind and become your full potential.

As a former professional athlete, I have lived the structured, rigid, demanding sports life. I know what it is like to be challenged, and push yourself through successes and failures without giving up. Something that was of significant  help to me was therapy where I had a safe space to say whatever I had on my mind. Let me give you that safe space to support you through your failures and successes.

In therapy, exploring and allowing yourself to accept every part of you is likely to have a profound effect on success . We want to be content and fulfilled with our lives, and there is no better way to start than to openly talk.

What to expect

Therapy is a  mutual process, and a journey that takes place between the therapist and the client. I usually recommend to meet three times before evaluating if the client and the therapist  are able to work with one another. It is crucial for the client to develop feelings of safety and trust with their therapist. Trust opens up vulnerability and allows our negative defenses to come down so we are able to mend our individuality. The therapeutic area becomes a space where anything  that is discussed stays with in the parameters of the room itself. * The goal of therapy is not to change you. Change is your choice, but I want to help you build the awareness and acceptance around yourself and others. This helps you to be aligned spiritually, religiously, emotionally and physically and allows you to heal, be fully free and you.

*Therapists are required by law to only disclose information to protect a client or a specific individual identified by the client from “serious and foreseeable harm.” That can include specific threats, disclosure of child abuse where a child is still in danger, or concerns about elder abuse.
