About me, as a psychotherapist in brief. When you finally decide to go to psychotherapy in order to sort out a problem that has been bothering you for a long time or a sudden life crisis, the question arises – how to find a psychotherapist you can trust? After all, there are so many specialists, and which of them is exactly mine? <\/p>\n\n

I am here so that we can get to know each other better in absentia and you can understand for yourself, rather even feel that you can entrust me with your most difficult questions. To do this, I write blog articles, share my thoughts about life and psychotherapy in FB and Instagram posts, answer questions about psychologists and psychotherapy on my YouTube channel. <\/p>\n\n

The approach in which I work<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I work in the Gestalt method. I love this method with all my heart. I love for the delicate compatibility of empathy and responsibility for one’s life. For the integrity of I. For the love of their light and dark sides. For humanity. For honesty. For the opportunity to be yourself and give this right to others, without violating the boundaries. For depth. Because of its volume, Gestalt combines psychology, philosophy, and Buddhism. It connects mind, feelings and body. I love gestalt art techniques that actively work with the subconscious, gently bringing out from the depths what we hide both from others and from ourselves. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

How does gestalt work? In therapy, we, the therapist and the client, build a relationship within which the client, based on trust, support, and acceptance, learns to show himself in any way, learns to be close to another, imperfect person (yes, psychotherapists are not Gods at all), learns to accept his imperfection and the imperfection of the other, and then moves forward, because with such a foundation it is much easier to live his own life. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

The question of trust is about my surname<\/h2>\n\n

Why is it that one last name is indicated on your certificates, and you use another on the website and in social networks? A good question that you may have. Kokhan is the surname of my family on the female line, and Vasylenko is the surname of my father, which I did not change even when I got married. Both are valuable to me and both are about me. Many people use pseudonyms, and for me it’s about freedom of self-expression. Freedom of self-expression is what I like to work on with my clients, by the way. Therefore, on the certificates, you see the last name that is indicated in all documents, starting from birth, and here and in all social networks – I am Natasha Kohan, and I am much closer and related to this last name. <\/p>\n\n
