Maryna Bilyk, M.S.

Clinical Director

Hello, my goal is to help you to become an expert in well-being, vitality, and mental health. I provided psychotherapy for over 17 years to adults and families. I am inspired by how brain, body and psyche are connected and reciprocated. It is very inspirational to see what amazing changes take place in a person’s life through psychotherapy. Sometimes, though, it can be very frustrating because this process takes so much time and effort. It’s been my dream to create a clinic that connects all these parts of human being and helps to expedite the healing process as much as possible, or to reach the highest peak of potential performance in the shortest time frame. I am happy to lead our medical team in providing the best solutions for your mental health care. I speak English, Ukrainian, Russian languages.
