Internal anxiety, the difficulties of relationships, haunting failures and failures, psychosomatic diseases that come from nowhere - all this interferes with life, does not allow one to believe in the future and respect oneself, causes not only mental, but sometimes physical pain, and can lead to despair and depression. At all times, mental restlessness, confusion of thoughts and feelings have brought torment to a person and led him to seek help. It was provided by priests and monks, confessors and simply close friends. Today, anyone in need of such support can seek, among other things, professional psychological help .
Those who decide to turn to a psychologist or psychotherapist for the first time have many fears and questions: how they will work with him, what this work consists of, whether he will fall under a kind of “X-ray” that will highlight what a person is not ready to show to another , what diagnosis will be given to him. Work experience shows that all these worries recede into the background, bringing forward a great desire to speak out, to be heard, understood and to receive help - relief from internal pain.
Help from a psychologist is, first of all, an opportunity to get rid of the feeling of loneliness when you are left alone with your problems, an opportunity to talk about them openly, without fear of negative value judgments. After all, the presence of a problem does not characterize you as “bad” or “wrong”, but only speaks of temporary inability, the inability to recognize its true causes and see solutions, which, as a rule, go beyond the usual ideas and patterns of behavior.
An open, confidential conversation about the complexities of life and the feelings experienced, a joint analysis with a psychologist of past events and the present that follows them, the choice of solutions that can resolve a painful situation and ease the suffering of the soul - this is what professional help and support implies, what we offer you .

Disorders of social development
At the age of 1 month, the baby should recognize the mother and stop screaming when she hugs him. And at the age of 3 months, he should smile when his parents talk to him.
At the age of six months, the child should already ask to be held by a loved one. At the age of 9 months, the child must consciously avoid contact with strangers - hide behind furniture. You should be alarmed if the baby does not get angry when his toys are taken away.
At the age of 2.5 years, the baby should already speak in the first person, dress independently (or try to dress), and ask to go to the toilet in a timely manner.
How do we help?
We offer professional psychological assistance in the form of psychological consultations and long-term psychotherapy.
The difference is that consultations can be one-time in nature and devoted to a specific narrow topic stated by the client. Psychotherapy is long-term, in-depth work focused on the client’s personality. Psychotherapy with elements of psychoanalysis helps to identify the origins of problems, understand them, and carry out deep changes in character that inhibit personal development and interfere with a full life.
Depending on your personal preferences and recommendations of the psychologist, you can choose one of the proposed forms of work.
Motor disorders
In the first six months of his life, a child is just learning to control his body.
In the first month, he should learn to hold the head for a few seconds. You shouldn’t demand much from the baby, but if he is unable to hold his head in an upright position for even a second, you should bring this to the attention of your pediatrician. In the next three months of his life, the child must learn to hold his head while lying on his stomach. And by the end of the fourth month, the child should be able to rise, leaning on his arms from this position. Of course, everything is purely individual. The child may be too heavy, but he must make attempts to lift himself up.
At the age of six months, the baby should already be able to reach the toy independently. In addition, he must be able to independently roll over from his stomach to his back and back. If this does not happen, then the baby has serious motor impairment. Of course, at this age the child should already be able to hold his head well.
Background
When your soul hurts and your thoughts are racing, the main thing is to achieve a happy balance with the world of people and with yourself. The institute of “helping the soul” has a centuries-old history, but it is assistance based on the achievements of special research, using various techniques, that dates back a little more than 100 years.
The reason for the emergence of psychological help as such, the need to turn to it, was formulated by Erich Fromm, a German philosopher, social psychologist and psychoanalyst: “Man is the only animal for whom his own existence is a problem.” This problem was resolved by different schools of knowledge: from Eastern to Western and European. Psychological assistance in its development went through two periods: the religious-mystical and the stage of modern scientific psychotherapy.
Initially, the “problem of existence” was solved using the methods of religious traditions. The search for its origins was carried out solely on the basis of ideas and dogmas. Appropriate methods for solving were proposed: for example, meditative practices in Eastern teachings, so-called metaphorical communications used by both Eastern and Western schools - the Sufi parable “The Tale of the Sands”, “Ten Bulls of Zen”, fairy tales, parables, sayings, everyday narratives . Trance communications were also used based on rhythmic monotonous actions or repetition of words - ritual dances, chanting mantras, prayers; hermeneutical procedures - fortune telling on cards, runes, etc.; body-oriented methods - for example, yoga; sacred symbolism - the use of totems, amulets, appeal to the symbolism of religious services; the phenomenon of catharsis - for example, the process of confession, talking through a problematic situation.
All these methods, enriched with scientific knowledge, are still used in one form or another, bringing positive results. Thus, metaphorical communications are reflected in fairy tale therapy, body-oriented methods are used both as a separate direction and in combination with psychoanalysis; elements of catharsis are easy to observe during a consultation - one of the forms of help from a psychologist.
If life has stopped making you happy and has lost its meaning, if relationships with loved ones have turned into a series of quarrels and deep mutual resentments, if you are having a hard time with yourself and you don’t see a way out of the situation, it’s time to seek psychological help. Finding the source of mental pain, realizing the real problem, changing habitual patterns of behavior - this is the path along which we invite you to walk together. “Change your thinking and you will change your life ,” - during the consultation process you will definitely appreciate the correctness of these words of Brian Tracy.

Love or neurosis?
We all want to love and be loved, if we succeed, we feel happy. To this extent, the need for love, or more precisely, the need to be loved, is not neurotic. In a neurotic person, the need to experience the love of other people is exaggerated. If the people around them are less kind than usual, this spoils the mood of a neurotic and causes phobias or severe depression. He clings to people... He may need psychological help and psychotherapy. It is important for a mentally healthy person to be loved, respected and valued by those people whom he values; neurotic need for love is obsessive and indiscriminate
How to deal with stress?
When stress becomes chronic and mental symptoms develop, it becomes obvious that something needs to be done. Coping with stress can take many forms: from desperately trying to find a way to “relax” to seeking help and support from loved ones. Sometimes the desire to escape from stress leads a person to what could be called destructive methods of self-support - drug addiction
Psychological consultation
What happens during a consultation with a psychologist is certainly not magic. In a serious process of psychological counseling, the client, together with the psychologist, sooner or later becomes able to work on his initial - sometimes hidden, sometimes explicit, “magical” expectations regarding his psychologist and psychological counseling in general. Then comes the realization that the paths of psychological change are not so much magical and supernatural, but rather human, depending on two people who, being next to each other, are able to talk about something really important, relating not to something beyond, but to what is happening between them
How to diversify relationships? Psychologist's advice
If your sex life has become monotonous and predictable almost to the point of disgust, take immediate action. Let sex be the first thing you do in the morning, not the last thing in the evening. Do this in a new environment, in new underwear, in a new mood. Even the most amazing lover will get bored if you have learned all his tricks by heart. In the initial period of an intimate relationship or marriage, there was no talk of monotony. Mutual attraction and impatience forced them to have sex in different settings and with all possible variety of positions and techniques. However, over time, what was new became familiar and even boring.
Speech disorders
Even speech development disorders can be identified until the child utters his first words. By the age of one month, the baby should scream when hungry or physically uncomfortable. And at the age of 5 months, the child should already be able to pronounce individual sounds.
If at the age of one year a child cannot pronounce any words, this also indicates a violation. By the age of 2, a child should understand the difference between opposite meanings (big - small, bitter - sweet). He must also name the parts of his body. By the age of 3, a child should know his first and last name.
Excerpt characterizing Development
Karataev looked at Pierre with his kind, round eyes, now stained with tears, and, apparently, called him to him, wanted to say something. But Pierre was too afraid for himself. He acted as if he had not seen his gaze and hurriedly walked away. When the prisoners set off again, Pierre looked back. Karataev was sitting on the edge of the road, near a birch tree; and two Frenchmen were saying something above him. Pierre didn't look back anymore. He walked, limping, up the mountain. Behind, from the place where Karataev was sitting, a shot was heard. Pierre clearly heard this shot, but at the same moment he heard it, Pierre remembered that he had not yet finished the calculation he had begun before the marshal passed about how many crossings remained to Smolensk. And he began to count. Two French soldiers, one of whom was holding a removed, smoking gun in his hand, ran past Pierre. They were both pale, and in the expression of their faces - one of them looked timidly at Pierre - there was something similar to what he had seen in the young soldier at execution. Pierre looked at the soldier and remembered how this soldier of the third day burned his shirt while drying it on a fire and how they laughed at him. The dog howled from behind, from the place where Karataev was sitting. “What a fool, what is she howling about?” - thought Pierre. The comrade soldiers walking next to Pierre did not look back, just like him, at the place from which a shot was heard and then the howl of a dog; but a stern expression lay on all faces. The depot, the prisoners, and the marshal's convoy stopped in the village of Shamsheva. Everything huddled around the fires. Pierre went to the fire, ate the roasted horse meat, lay down with his back to the fire and immediately fell asleep. He slept again the same sleep that he slept in Mozhaisk after Borodin. Again the events of reality were combined with dreams, and again someone, whether he himself or someone else, told him thoughts, and even the same thoughts that were spoken to him in Mozhaisk. “Life is everything. Life is God. Everything moves and moves, and this movement is God. And as long as there is life, there is the pleasure of self-consciousness of the deity. Love life, love God. It is most difficult and most blissful to love this life in one’s suffering, in the innocence of suffering.” “Karataev” - Pierre remembered. And suddenly Pierre introduced himself to a living, long-forgotten, gentle old teacher who taught Pierre geography in Switzerland. “Wait,” said the old man. And he showed Pierre the globe. This globe was a living, oscillating ball that had no dimensions. The entire surface of the ball consisted of drops tightly compressed together. And these drops all moved, moved and then merged from several into one, then from one they were divided into many. Each drop sought to spread out, to capture the greatest possible space, but others, striving for the same thing, compressed it, sometimes destroyed it, sometimes merged with it. “This is life,” said the old teacher. “How simple and clear this is,” thought Pierre. “How could I not know this before?” “There is God in the middle, and every drop strives to expand in order to reflect him in the greatest possible size. And it grows, merges, and shrinks, and is destroyed on the surface, goes into the depths and floats up again. Here he is, Karataev, overflowing and disappearing. “Vous avez compris, mon enfant, [You understand.],” said the teacher. “Vous avez compris, sacre nom, [You understand, damn you.],” a voice shouted, and Pierre woke up. He rose and sat down. A Frenchman, who had just pushed aside a Russian soldier, sat squatting by the fire and was frying meat that had been put on a ramrod. Veiny, rolled-up, hairy, red hands with short fingers deftly turned the ramrod. A brown gloomy face with frowning eyebrows was clearly visible in the light of the coals. “Ca lui est bien egal,” he grumbled, quickly turning to the soldier standing behind him. -...brigand. Va! [He doesn’t care... a robber, really!] And the soldier, twirling the ramrod, looked gloomily at Pierre. Pierre turned away, peering into the shadows. One Russian soldier, a prisoner, the one who had been pushed away by the Frenchman, sat by the fire and ruffled something with his hand. Looking closer, Pierre recognized a purple dog, which, wagging its tail, was sitting next to the soldier. - Oh, did you come? - said Pierre. “Ah, Pla...” he began and didn’t finish. In his imagination, suddenly, at the same time, connecting with each other, a memory arose of the look with which Plato looked at him, sitting under a tree, of the shot heard in that place, of the howl of a dog, of the criminal faces of two Frenchmen who ran past him, of the filmed a smoking gun, about the absence of Karataev at this halt, and he was ready to understand that Karataev was killed, but at the same moment in his soul, coming from God knows where, a memory arose of the evening he spent with the beautiful Polish woman, in the summer, on the balcony of his Kyiv house. And yet, without connecting the memories of this day and without drawing a conclusion about them, Pierre closed his eyes, and the picture of summer nature mixed with the memory of swimming, of a liquid oscillating ball, and he sank somewhere into the water, so that the water converged above his head. Before sunrise, he was awakened by loud, frequent shots and screams. The French ran past Pierre. - Les cosaques! [Cossacks!] - one of them shouted, and a minute later a crowd of Russian faces surrounded Pierre. For a long time Pierre could not understand what was happening to him. From all sides he heard the cries of joy of his comrades. - Brothers! My dears, my dears! - the old soldiers cried, crying, hugging the Cossacks and hussars. Hussars and Cossacks surrounded the prisoners and hurriedly offered them dresses, boots, and bread. Pierre sobbed, sitting among them, and could not utter a word; he hugged the first soldier who approached him and, crying, kissed him. Dolokhov stood at the gate of a ruined house, letting a crowd of disarmed French pass by. The French, excited by everything that had happened, spoke loudly among themselves; but when they passed by Dolokhov, who was lightly whipping his boots with his whip and looking at them with his cold, glassy gaze, promising nothing good, their conversation fell silent. On the other side stood the Cossack Dolokhov and counted the prisoners, marking hundreds with a chalk line on the gate. - How many? – Dolokhov asked the Cossack who was counting the prisoners. “For the second hundred,” answered the Cossack. “Filez, filez, [Come in, come in.],” Dolokhov said, having learned this expression from the French, and, meeting the eyes of the passing prisoners, his gaze flashed with a cruel brilliance. Denisov, with a gloomy face, having taken off his hat, walked behind the Cossacks, who were carrying the body of Petya Rostov to a hole dug in the garden. Since October 28, when frosts began, the flight of the French only took on a more tragic character: people freezing and roasting to death at the fires and continuing to ride in fur coats and carriages with the looted goods of the emperor, kings and dukes; but in essence, the process of flight and disintegration of the French army has not changed at all since the speech from Moscow. From Moscow to Vyazma, out of the seventy-three thousand strong French army, not counting the guards (which throughout the war did nothing but plunder), out of seventy-three thousand, thirty-six thousand remained (of this number, no more than five thousand died in battles). Here is the first term of the progression, which mathematically correctly determines the subsequent ones. The French army in the same proportion melted and was destroyed from Moscow to Vyazma, from Vyazma to Smolensk, from Smolensk to Berezina, from Berezina to Vilna, regardless of the greater or lesser degree of cold, persecution, blocking the path and all other conditions taken separately. After Vyazma, the French troops, instead of three columns, huddled together in one heap and continued like this until the end. Berthier wrote to his sovereign (it is known how far from the truth the commanders allow themselves to describe the situation of the army). He wrote: “Je crois devoir faire connaitre a Votre Majeste l'etat de ses troupes dans les differents corps d'annee que j'ai ete a meme d'observer depuis deux ou trois jours dans differents passages. Elles sont presque debandees. Le nombre des soldats qui suivent les drapeaux est en proportion du quart au plus dans presque tous les regiments, les autres marchent isolement dans differentes directions et pour leur compte, dans l'esperance de trouver des subsistances et pour se debarrasser de la discipline. En general ils regardent Smolensk comme le point ou ils doivent se refaire. Ces derniers jours on a remarque que beaucoup de soldats jettent leurs cartouches et leurs armes. Dans cet etat de choses, l'interet du service de Votre Majeste exige, quelles que soient ses vues ulterieures qu'on rallie l'armee a Smolensk en commencant a la debarrasser des non combattans, tels que hommes demontes et des bagages inutiles et du materiel de l'artillerie qui n'est plus en proportion avec les forces actuelles. En outre les jours de repos, des subsistances sont necessaires aux soldats qui sont extenues par la faim et la fatigue; beaucoup sont morts ces derniers jours sur la route et dans les bivacs. Cet etat de choses va toujours en augmentant et donne lieu de craindre que si l'on n'y prete un prompt remede, on ne soit plus maitre des troupes dans un combat. Le 9 November, a 30 verstes de Smolensk.”
