About Avia Psychotherapy
Get To know me
I’m Rada — a psychotherapist, educator, and lifelong learner with a passion for healing, growth, and connection.
My professional journey is rooted in care. For many years, I worked as both an operating room nurse and a psychotherapist, blending medical precision with emotional insight.
Today, I work with individuals from around the world — both in person and online — helping them navigate life’s complexities and reconnect with their inner strength.
My calling is simple yet profound: to help heal souls. Through therapy and heartfelt connection, I support others in finding clarity, confidence, and peace.
My Approach & Methods
I work with adult individuals and couples, offering support through a variety of
therapeutic modalities. I love asking questions. The more answers we uncover, the closer you come to your own truth. Like an archaeologist uncovering treasures, we explore layer by layer to find the root causes of emotional pain. Every issue can be approached with curiosity — as a puzzle waiting to be solved. In addition to traditional talk therapy, I integrate a range of methods tailored to each client’s needs. These approaches include body-based therapies, crisis support, Kabbalistic numerology and psychology, and creative integrative techniques.
My Philosophy
Since the age of 11, I knew my purpose was to help people.
With over 30 years in the medical field — including 25 years in the operating room — I’ve witnessed firsthand how a positive outlook can accelerate healing. Patients with hope and emotional resilience recover more quickly than those burdened by emotional pain. I believe that our emotions, mental state, physical body, and spirituality are deeply interconnected. Healing the body is impossible without healing the soul. The psychosomatic relationship between physical and emotional health is at the core of my belief system as a natural healer. I also believe in the healing power of words. Words carry energy. I use language as a therapeutic tool and teach clients how to reshape the narrative of their lives. I am convinced that everyone is born to be happy. In my practice, I stay true to my name: Rada means “joyful” in Russian. I find deep fulfillment in helping people rediscover their joy.
