MEET YOUR LICENSED PSYCHOTHERAPIST

Yuliya Golubev

Hi, I’m Yuliya.
I am a certified bilingual Gestalt and perinatal therapist.

I work with people who look capable on the outside but feel exhausted, anxious, or never quite “good enough” on the inside. Many of my clients struggle with perfectionism, overworking, overfunctioning, or tying their self-worth to performance and approval.

In therapy, we work on untangling these patterns and rebuilding a sense of self-esteem and self-worth that isn’t based on productivity or pleasing others. My approach is grounded in Gestalt therapy, psychoanalytic depth, and a relational way of working—meaning healing happens through awareness, curiosity, and relationship over time.

Therapy with me is a long-term, supportive process where you don’t have to fix yourself or earn your worth. Instead, we focus on helping you feel more grounded, more whole, and more at ease being yourself.
