Certifications & Advanced Training

Ksenia’s dedication to providing the highest quality of care is reflected in her extensive training and specialized certifications. Each credential represents rigorous study and practical application of evidence-based therapeutic techniques designed to help clients heal from trauma, process difficult emotions, and reclaim their lives.

Ksenia completed specialized training in Recent Traumatic Episode Protocol (R-TEP) and Group Traumatic Episode Protocol (G-TEP). These advanced EMDR protocols are specifically designed to address recent traumatic events and provide effective treatment in both individual and group settings. This training equips Ksenia with specialized skills to help clients process acute trauma soon after it occurs, preventing the development of chronic PTSD symptoms and facilitating faster recovery.

Ksenia completed specialized training in the Flash Technique through the Trauma Institute & Child Trauma Institute, developed by Dr. Philip Manfield and taught by renowned trauma expert Dr. Ricky Greenwald, Psy.D. The Flash Technique is an innovative and gentle therapeutic intervention that helps reduce the disturbance associated with traumatic memories without requiring clients to directly focus on the painful content. This approach is particularly beneficial for clients who may find traditional trauma processing overwhelming or distressing. By adding this technique to her therapeutic toolkit, Ksenia can offer a more accessible and less intimidating path to healing for those dealing with trauma, anxiety, and intrusive memories. This training reflects her dedication to learning cutting-edge, client-centered approaches that prioritize comfort and safety throughout the healing process.

Ksenia completed the full EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) Basic Training course, which includes 40 hours of comprehensive instruction and 10 hours of supervised consultation. This foundational training, granted by Reg Morrow Robinson, LMHC, NCC, meets all EMDRIA (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing International Association) requirements for EMDR Basic Training. This rigorous program equipped Ksenia with the essential knowledge and practical skills to effectively use EMDR therapy—one of the most researched and validated treatments for trauma and PTSD. The completion of this training marked the beginning of her journey toward becoming a fully certified EMDR therapist, demonstrating her commitment to offering evidence-based, transformative care to clients struggling with traumatic memories and emotional distress.

Ksenia is a Level 2 certified practitioner in Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), also known as “tapping.” She successfully completed rigorous training through the Center for EFT Studies Online program and met the standards established by the Association of EFT Professionals (AEFTP). EFT is a body-based therapeutic technique that involves tapping on specific acupuncture points while addressing emotional distress. This certification reflects Ksenia’s commitment to offering diverse, evidence-informed approaches that help clients release trapped emotions and achieve lasting relief from anxiety, depression, and trauma-related symptoms.

Ksenia completed a 10-month rigorous course designed for therapists who want to develop more expertise and get specialized knowledge and skills needed to effectively work with highly traumatized clients with severe dissociative symptoms. This certification allows Ksenia to address complex cases with clinical challenges and support clients with PTSD and dissociation.

These certifications represent only part of Ksenia’s commitment to professional growth and clinical excellence. She continues to pursue advanced training and stays current with the latest developments in trauma treatment to ensure her clients receive the most effective, compassionate care available. Each certification reflects countless hours of study, supervised practice, and dedication to helping clients transform their pain into strength and reclaim their lives.
