Andruschenko Maria

As a licensed professional counselor (LPC-MHSP #3309), I, Maria Andruschenko, offer a unique fusion of theoretical and practical approaches to help individuals overcome various challenges and achieve a more fulfilling life. With a deep understanding of human behavior, I tailor my services to meet the distinct needs of each client. My approach is centred around self-awareness, repair of attachment disruptions, and the connection to oneself, which is essential for living as a heart-centered being.

Our Approach

My therapeutic approach is rooted in a comprehensive understanding of human development, attachment theory, and the integration of somatic, emotional, and cognitive processes. This holistic approach enables me to address a wide range of concerns, including eating disorders, body dissatisfaction, ADHD, ASD, mood and anxiety disorders, PTSD or developmental trauma, drug/alcohol abuse, and personality disorders. By fostering a safe, non-judgmental, and compassionate environment, I empower individuals to explore and resolve their internal conflicts, develop healthy relationships, and cultivate a deeper sense of self.
