Whether life feels heavy right now or you’ve been carrying the same struggles for years, this is the place to set some of that down.

Marina Avetisova

Therapist

Virtual • New York


I am a licensed mental health counselor, with a focus on addiction and substance use. In 2018, I graduated from Pace University with my Masters of Science in Mental Health Counseling. Within the last several years, I have worked in a hospital setting, helping treat psychiatric decompensation along with drug or alcohol relapse. Having both the experience of inpatient and outpatient settings, I have gained a thorough understanding for the spectrum which mental health illnesses are demonstrated.

I work with adults navigating ADHD, anxiety, addiction, low self-esteem, and relationship challenges who are tired of feeling stuck in the same patterns. Many are high-functioning on the outside but overwhelmed internally, questioning why change feels so difficult despite their best efforts. They aren't looking for quick fixes—they want to better understand themselves, build healthier relationships, and create lasting change.
