My Approach
People will often ask me: “Iuri, don’t you get tired of listening to people’s problems?… Don’t you become overwhelmed by the weight of constantly hearing about people’s struggles?” The honest answer to that question is a resounding “No!” Meeting with people is exciting! Engaging in their lives in a positive, optimistic, hopeful, and solution focused way is invigorating!
I see adults, couples, teens, and young adults. I’m primarily a Cognitive-Behavioral therapist, with special emphasis on Positive Psychology strategies, Growth Mindset, and Motivational Psychology.
I simply believe that your psychology is paramount. The way you see yourself, others, and interpret the events around you, matters more than the events themselves. My goal is to help you build an extraordinary psychology that will ultimately yield extraordinary outcomes. My hope is that this optimistic and powerful psychology will inspire you to act, with the full confidence that ultimately, your choices, not your circumstances, are what will determine your life and future. I’m excited to meet you.

Iuri worked with my 6 yr old doing rock climbing during his sessions and it helped to instill more confidence in himself, overcoming fears, and achieving goals with success. Iuri immediately bonded with him so well and my son looked forward to going each time. I think Iuri's approach was so motivating and positive! Thank you so much!

I can't say enough good about Iuri as a therapist. My family's experience over two years with his counseling services was so beneficial. The best thing about Iuri is that he cares, he's humble and he's smart. If you've experienced many therapists you may agree that finding a therapist who has all three qualities is rare. Iuri worked with my pre-teen and my twenty-something children and then later on with me through a divorce. I still can hear him say, "be congruent." He really gets kids and he helped our family immensely.

Iuri is an amazing counselor, especially for teens. He helps them feel at ease and meets them where they are without judgement, then helps encourage them as they strive to move forward. The added adventure therapy that he has as an option is also a great method for counseling and building confidence that he uses. I would highly recommend him as a counselor.

Working with Iuri has been one of the most positive and helpful experiences of my life. His unique way of mixing therapy and climbing creates a fun and engaging atmosphere that allowed me to improve both my mind and my body. Iuri always knew how to best handle any problem I brought to him, paying attention to every detail I told him and always coming up with creative and dynamic solutions. Above all else, Iuri is a great friend who I feel blessed to have been able to spend my time with.

Iuri, and the work that he does, is amazing. I will forever be thankful to Iuri for the help he gave me and my family. When you are suffering with anxiety, depression, PTSD or any of the many things that people are suffering with, finding someone like Iuri to help you through it ,is like finding a light in a very dark place. Iuri is really good at what he does and I felt like he genuinely cared.

Going through a divorce with a child was by far the hardest experience of my life to date. Iuri helped me to not just try and understand how to move forward, but to naturally experience an emotion without holding on and letting my circumstances take me down. He listened intently and graciously allowed me personal space to grieve and also to rejoice as I worked through becoming my “new” self as a single mom. He reminded me to be congruent in all things and to this day I hold that with the utmost respect for myself and others. I am forever grateful for my experience with Iuri. Namaste
