About Fayina
For as long as I could remember, I was an observer of the human experience, wanting to know what makes people think, feel or act in a certain way. Because of my curiosity and deep empathy for those who were struggling in life, I began to draw people to me seeking support.
​
In my own healing journey from childhood wounds, struggles of acculturation ( I came here from the Soviet Union), divorce and career transitions, I’ve always sought to transform and enhance my inner state while adapting to new environments and life challenges.
My restless nature led me to search for deeper meaning in life and to try to understand the spiritual side of life. I delved into the study of Kabbalah, Past Life exploration, Buddhism, Sufism, and mystical philosophies such as the Fourth Way. My personal experiences as well as training included, hypnosis, breathwork, past life regression, EMDR, meditation and psychedelic medicine. In these explorations of altered states of conscience I discovered an expanded view of myself and life.
This natural ability to offer insight and a listening heart, lead to choosing a career as a psychotherapist. I pursued a Masters In Clinical Social Work from New York University and am currently a New York State Licensed Psychotherapist and Clinical Hypnotherapist in private practice. My life’s mission became guiding people in healing, personal evolution and awakening to their highest potential.
​
When I first began my practice 23 years ago, I followed the traditional path of talk therapy, where insight and new perspectives lead to the changes longed for by my clients. I quickly discovered that in talk therapy progress was slow and something seemed missing. Clients would often hit a plateau where the same patterns kept resurfacing. I was no different than my clients in that I wanted change for myself and was looking for new modalities of healing which were rapidly emerging at the time.
​
I began by studying different modalities that would allow me to have additional tools at my disposal to help clients reach deeper states of conscience and understanding. Through these newly acquired tools such as hypnotherapy, meditation, somatic therapies and other holistic practices, my clients began to experience major shifts and accelerated growth.
​
Now my work is dedicated to just that. I guide individuals and couples through therapeutic experiences that go beyond the surface, integrating mind, body and spirit to access the true source of healing. I create a space of compassion and safety where you can explore different ways to release blocks and limiting beliefs and step into the life you are meant to live.
​
I support and empower my clients in their healing, transformation and personal development to create lives filled with joy, love and personal fulfillment.
