Lyudmila Gonik, LCSW
I am a LCSW, practicing in New York (virtually and in-person), and virtually in Florida and Vermont. I typically work with those who suffer from mood disorders, including depression and bipolar II, anxiety, relationship issues, chronic illness, life-transition stressors and difficulties coping with work and school. Additionally, I specialize in working with individuals age 65 years or older, and use my own immigrant experience as a tool for understanding my clients and am passionate about helping those struggling with acculturation.

Tanya Yajnik, MHC-Intern
I am a Mental Health Counseling Intern practicing in-person, and via telehealth, in NY. I work with individuals, couples, and families. My therapeutic style is holistic and integrates several evidence-based modalities, including Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), and Feminist Therapy. I find myself drawn to working with women of color who struggle with complex post-traumatic stress disorder (C-PTSD) or complex trauma. In the past, many of my clients have been identified as highly sensitive (HSP) or neurodivergent.
