My name is Oxana. I was never a big fan of small talk culture, so let’s get straight to the point: I am a professional catalyzer. In reality, it is called a licensed professional counselor. What I actually do ruins people’s illusions, and narratives that they have created, which hold them back from living a life they truly want. The challenging part is not ruining people’s illusions and narratives; it’s walking them through the thin ice of the fear that reclaiming the life they want to live is worth going through the letting go of things they used to comfort themselves with. I traveled to 40+ countries and lived in a few, so I believe I carry some cultural awareness, which helps me a lot in my work with multicultural practice as a therapist.
