Yaryna

Welcome! I am a psychologist, certified Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) practitioner, and researcher with over a decade of experience. I hold a PhD in Psychology, serve as an Associate Professor at Optima University, and completed postdoctoral research at Penn State University. My practice bridges evidence-based psychology and scientific rigor: I lead DBT skills groups and specialize in trauma recovery using the RTM protocol. As a researcher, I study social determinants of mental health and adaptation. I also design practical psychoeducational resources, self-help workbooks, and interactive tools. I am open to academic collaborations, educational projects, and leading therapy groups.
