My name is Ekaterina Malikova, and I am a family therapist. In my practice, I focus on emotional intelligence development and help clients better understand their emotions, identify their true needs and desires, strengthen self-esteem, reduce anxiety, build healthy and fulfilling relationships, navigate life transitions, and find inner support for personal growth and self-realization. I also specialize in supporting clients through the process of intercultural adaptation and psychological challenges associated with relocation and emigration.
My professional motto is: “From healthy thoughts to happy life.”
Certified Psychologist, specializing in Family Psychology

MY PRINCIPLES IN THERAPY
Emotional Safety
From the very first session, my goal is to create a safe and supportive space where you can be yourself. You can openly express your thoughts and feelings without fear of judgment, criticism, or pressure. Your emotions, experiences, and personal story are treated with respect, with particular attention given to your boundaries and individual pace of change.
Non-Judgmental Approach
In therapy, there are no “right” or “wrong” feelings. There is your personal experience, your emotions, and your unique perspective. Together, we learn to look at situations from a more conscious and balanced perspective — without self-criticism, labels, or judgment.
Individualized Approach
Every client is unique, with their own life experience, values, personality, and life circumstances. Based on your goals and needs, we define the direction of our work together and choose therapeutic approaches that best support your personal journey and desired changes.
Scientific Foundation
My work is based on modern psychological knowledge and evidence-informed approaches. Depending on your individual needs, I use various therapeutic methods, psychological practices, assessment tools, questionnaires, and structured techniques to better understand your situation and support meaningful change.
Confidentiality
Everything discussed during our sessions remains strictly confidential within the framework of professional ethics.
PRICE & FORMAT
The consultation fee is 100 USD per 60-minute session.
Sessions are conducted online via Zoom at a pre-arranged time.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
This is completely normal. Many clients come to therapy with a feeling that something needs to change, but without a clear understanding of where to begin. During our first meeting, we will explore your current situation together, identify your feelings and needs, and clarify the direction of our work. You don’t need to have all the answers — a desire to understand yourself and create positive change is enough.
The first session is an opportunity to get to know each other and understand your situation. Together, we identify your main concerns, define the goals of therapy, and discuss the most suitable format of our work.
The duration of therapy depends on your goals, the complexity of your situation, and your individual pace of progress. Some concerns may require short-term support, while deeper changes may require a longer therapeutic process.
I work with concerns related to:
self-esteem and developing inner confidence;
anxiety, emotional exhaustion, uncertainty, and low mood;
family and relationship difficulties;
building healthy communication and emotional connection;
self-realization and identity;
life transitions and personal crises;
psychological adaptation after relocation and emigration.
I use an integrative approach, combining modern therapeutic methods, including psychoanalytic approaches, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), assessment tools, and individually tailored techniques.
Yes, I work with couples. The goal of couples therapy is to help partners better understand each other, restore emotional connection, improve communication, and find constructive ways to resolve conflicts.
Therapy is not only for moments of crisis. It can also be a space for self-discovery, emotional growth, improving relationships, understanding your patterns, setting healthy boundaries, and creating a more fulfilling life.
Finding the right therapist is an important part of the process. The effectiveness of therapy depends on many factors, including the therapeutic approach, communication style, personal connection, and sense of trust between the client and therapist. If my approach and values resonate with you, I would be happy to meet you and explore how we can work together.
