Hey there, I’m Valeriya!

  • She/Her/Hers

  • I am addicted to coffee and chocolate. 

  • I deeply miss my furry soulmate, Scarlett. Which makes it so difficult to get a new dog. 

  • I sing in the car, preferably AC/DC. 

  • Love reading all kinds of books, from werewolf romance to professional manuals. 

  • I can’t watch scary movies, because they are scary. 

  • I get weirdly competitive about sports.

  • My comfort show that I can rewatch endlessly is Friends

  • I get way too excited about office supplies—new notebooks, pens, or planners? Yes, please. 

  • I love the smell of fresh rain, pine forest and old books. 

  • I believe my lucky number is 3.

“I believe in the resilience of the human spirit, and I see my role as someone who walks alongside my clients as they uncover their own strength, healing, and self- acceptance.”

– Valeriya Demydenko

You’re ready to break free from the cycle. 

You're tired of feeling stuck—caught in a cycle of anxiety, panic, depression, or addiction that's draining your joy. 

Maybe past traumas keep resurfacing, leaving you exhausted and overwhelmed. 

You crave a safe, judgment-free space where you can lay down your armor, speak honestly, and begin healing.

Imagine feeling lighter and more like yourself. 

Therapy should be a place where you can explore your feelings openly, without shame or guilt. 

You're ready for a therapist who genuinely sees you, and can laugh and cry alongside you. 

You don’t need band-aids.

You need tools to feel stronger, calmer, and hopeful about your future.

I’m here because I’ve been there, too. 

As a parent to a child with a disability and medical complexities, I’ve experienced firsthand the depths of trauma and grief. 

My own journey has taught me resilience, empathy, and the powerful connection of shared experience. 

My style is compassionate and down-to-earth—I’ll offer thoughtful strategies and be there every step as you rediscover your strength, heal deeply, and build a life you genuinely love.
