Maria Ilinsky
Couples therapist

I have been going to Maria for about six months. Before that, I had experience with other psychologists. I really like the approach that Maria uses: she carefully helps you look at yourself from the outside. This is not an easy process that requires quite a lot of time and effort. Now, looking back, I understand that I have learned a lot about myself. I doubt that I could have done it alone.

Hello everyone. I want to share my first experience in my life of working with a psychotherapist. I turned to Maria as the first specialist I came across in my search. I was always quite skeptical about this, but I was in a very difficult life situation. With the first session I didn’t really understand what was going on, but from the second session I realized that I was very lucky and I had really found “my” psychologist. Maria helped me accept the current situation in my life and gave me the strength to move on. I’ve been going for 3 months now and I don’t want to stop yet.

Maria is a very kind and calm person. From the first session, I felt comfortable talking to her. She listens with care and never rushes, which helped me feel safe and understood. There’s something very genuine and peaceful about her presence — it made it easier to open up and just be myself.

Maria is a very attentive and professional specialist. She was very helpful with my request and I am happy to recommend her.

I work with Maria and she helps me cope with my feelings. I didn't really believe in psychology before and thought that I needed to cope on my own, but Maria helped me cope with some psychological issues thanks to the environment she provided during the session.

I would like to express my deep gratitude to Maria for the consultation. From the first minutes of communication I felt sincere interest and support. Maria created a comfortable and trusting atmosphere in which it was easy to talk about difficult things

For more than a year I decided to go to a psychologist, but I kept putting it off. There are also many different specialists on the Internet, which, of course, makes choosing a competent professional three times more difficult, but I can say that as soon as I saw Maria's page, I immediately felt that I had found my specialist. I was very nervous before our first session, because it's quite difficult for me to open up in front of strangers, especially when I have to come and talk about myself for an hour. But Maria created a very safe atmosphere in which I felt as comfortable and calm as possible. I am incredibly glad that my journey in psychotherapy began with such a competent psychologist. Maria is a professional in her field, she feels people very subtly and sensitively. Our sessions helped me look at situations from a different perspective. I began to analyze what was happening from a new angle, and this helps me significantly. My level of severe anxiety has decreased significantly. The themes that had been sitting inside for decades finally began to come out, and I was able to breathe deeply again. There is still a lot of work ahead, but since June, when I started my journey, my perspective on many things has changed a lot, and I can confidently say that life has become much easier. Thank you very much, Maria, for your professionalism and such an attentive approach to patients.

Maria is a great professional. Made me feel very comfortable right away. She is great listener, empathetic and understanding

I am very grateful to Maria for our joint work in 2023, she sensitively and subtly helped me adjust the strings of my own thoughts and states and make several important decisions, I feel lighter and more joyful, and I know better. Thanks a lot!

I have been going to psychotherapy for over a year. I am very grateful to Maria for her work. It was a difficult and interesting path. Life has changed beyond recognition. I have changed, that's for sure. I don't plan to stop yet, I see results and I am sure that they will continue. Only forward! I recommend.

Maria is a wonderful specialist, very sensitive and tactful, from the first session I felt very comfortable. We started working on immigration issues, but have long gone beyond one topic. We are meeting online, I really hope that we will be able to meet for a personal session.

I highly recommend Maria, I am very grateful to her for the breakthrough in a difficult situation. Maria is a true professional! And an amazing person. It really helped me find self-reliance and get through a deep crisis.

From the first minutes of the consultation, I realized that I had met my psychologist after many years of searching!) Maria is very attentive, very polite, sensitive, always asks the right questions at the right moment, talks very clearly and clearly about what is happening in the conscious and subconscious. My life, and most importantly my perception of myself, has changed very dramatically thanks to therapy and the right approach. Maria is a professional in her field and very good man!

My experience from consultation with Maria was so good! I really enjoyed every min. The most thing I like from her as a professional that she can direct you with the right & relevant questions, so that you answer to all of your questions ! I really enjoyed it!

I’ve been working with Maria for about two months and am very grateful for her help. During a difficult time, she helped me stabilize my emotional state, better understand my feelings, and learn to react more calmly to difficult situations. I really appreciated her attentive and supportive approach – the sessions always felt safe and genuinely helpful.

My first experience with therapy was with Maria, and I couldn’t be happier or feel more fortunate. She has helped me navigate several crisis periods, and I truly believe I wouldn’t have been able to get through them without the self-exploration she gently guided me through. She creates an incredibly safe and supportive space during sessions, to the point where it feels like you’re talking to a trusted friend rather than a therapist. Maria is an exceptionally attentive and caring listener, and I’m still amazed by how she remembers things I shared over a year ago.

Maria is an incredibly attentive and empathetic psychologist. I felt heard and supported during our sessions, and her gentle approach creates a safe and comfortable space for personal growth. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and dedicated specialist.

This is my first time working with a therapist and I’m so glad I came across Maria. She’s an excellent listener with the right mix of professionalism and conversational tone, making the sessions flow naturally and easy. Maria always asks the right questions to get to the bottom of deep-seated beliefs, helping to overcome thoughts that don’t serve me, which I didn’t think was possible.

I came to Maria with a cry for help feeling completely lost, unsure of what was triggering me, what I was looking for in therapy or even what I wanted to talk about. The only thing I knew was that I desperately needed help. After just a month I’ve already gained clarity on things that have been weighing on me for years. Maria was honest that therapy alone might not be enough in my case, and she encouraged me to seek additional medical support. That kind of honesty says so much about her professional integrity.

We have been working with Maria since March, and I see very positive results. An excellent specialist, he explains everything very competently and puts everything into perspective. She helped me a lot during a difficult period, and we are still continuing, I notice significant changes. It is very important to feel comfortable with your psychologist, Maria was able to position herself this way. I definitely recommend Maria, a very competent specialist!!

I have been in psychotherapy for many years, sometimes circumstances arise that I have to look for a new specialist. Usually at such moments it is very difficult, since you notice the first results or lack thereof somewhere after 3 or more meetings. It is not the first time that you manage to find your specialist, and you have to go through the “introduction” process again and again. In my case, I had to refuse three specialists, each time after a month of work, because there was a feeling that I was not understood and there was no progress... I was ready to despair when I decided to call Maria and was very surprised that Maria not only heard and understood me, but was also able to help me reduce my anxiety and feeling of hopelessness by the end of the first hour. Since then I have been working with Maria. If you are also tired of looking for your specialist and spending a lot of time, money and moral resources, I expect (“What if this time everything works and there will be a result, you just have to be patient”), I recommend trying to call Maria, I sincerely hope that you will get the help you are looking for right away!

Maria is a wonderful specialist, very personable and very attentive.

I thank all the circumstances in my life that led me to Mary. During our sessions, I was able to gain a more conscious and caring attitude towards myself. Maria taught me to hear myself, my desires and understand my emotions, carefully unraveling the most seemingly complex issues.

Maria is a very good specialist. Listens carefully, analyzes the problem and finds ways to solve it. Very grateful for the help.

Maria is an excellent psychologist. I turned to her during a difficult period in my life and immediately felt support and understanding. It helps you see things from the other side and find solutions to problems. I am grateful to Maria for her help and recommend her as a good specialist.

When I turned to Maria, I could not make an important decision. From the first sessions, she created an atmosphere of trust where I could openly talk about my doubts. With her help, I was able to understand myself and find the right path. Maria showed high professionalism and sensitivity, which helped me make a decision. I am truly grateful for her support and recommend her to anyone looking for qualified help.

I have tried many psychologists in the past, however Maria's approach of listening made me very comfortable in our sessions. I am very grateful for her time and work. If you are looking for someone to talk to and understand whys she is the person to go to.

There was a lot of stress at work and a difficult relationship with the manager, I decided that I could not take it anymore and turned to a psychologist. Maria provided me with support and professional help. I recommend her if you can't cope on your own. Thanks to Maria for her professionalism and care!

I am so grateful to Maria for her patience, support and empathy. During our sessions, I felt that she cared about me. Maria helped me a lot in understanding myself better and improving the quality of life.

I've never used the services of a psychologist before, but lately it seemed like my problems were getting bigger than me. I searched for a long time, chose, friends advised Maria. I was pleasantly surprised by the high level of professionalism and delicacy; after several conversations I felt significantly better. I didn't even expect such a result, to be honest. Thank you very much!

An excellent specialist! Maria really helped me identify the source of my problems and worries, work out possible ways out of a difficult life situation and adapt to a new environment. This was my first contact with a psychologist, I was very worried and could not make up my mind for a long time, but in vain!)) Maria communicated with me so delicately and tactfully that the fear of pouring out my soul to a stranger immediately evaporated.) Thank you so much for your help!
