Hi, I’m Svetlana Burak
Your partner in healing.
About Me
Hi, I’m Svetlana, a licensed therapist with 13 years of diverse clinical experience helping you navigate your life’s challenges with greater ease, self-awareness, and meaning.

My Approach
I believe therapy is more than just problem-solving—it’s about empowerment, self-discovery, and growth. I draw from several evidence-based modalities to provide tailored support, including:
- Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT): Helping you develop psychological flexibility, embrace emotions, and take meaningful action aligned with your values.
- Imago Dialogue: A powerful approach to improving communication, deepening intimacy, and resolving relationship conflicts.
- Certified Sex Therapy Informed Professional: Providing knowledgeable and affirming support for individuals navigating intimacy, sexual concerns, and relationship dynamics.
With a background as an Integrative Nutrition Health Coach, I take a holistic approach to therapy—recognizing the deep connection between mental health, physical well-being, and emotional resilience. True healing goes beyond just addressing thoughts and emotions; it involves nurturing the body, understanding how food and lifestyle impact mood and energy, and aligning all aspects of your life to support your overall well-being.
When I’m not in sessions, I enjoy salsa dancing, hiking through mountains, and spending time with my family and friends. These moments of joy inspire me to help others find their own balance.
Who I Help
I specialize in working with women experiencing hormonal shifts, whether due to perimenopause or menopause. I also work with individuals navigating relationship challenges, particularly in polyamorous relationship structures. Whether you’re facing stress, identity shifts, relationship struggles, or personal growth obstacles, I offer a safe, non-judgmental space to explore and heal.
Why I Do This Work
My journey into therapy was inspired by my deep curiosity about human nature and the resilience of the human spirit. I’ve always been fascinated by the ways we grow, relate, and heal in relationships —and I’m honored to walk alongside my clients on their paths to greater clarity and the life they would like to create.
What You Can Expect
- A warm, non-judgmental, space to explore your thoughts and feelings.
- Practical tools to manage anxiety, stress, and relationship challenges.
- A team approach where we work together to create lasting change.
You don’t have to figure everything out on your own. Let’s work together to help you feel more present, connected, and aligned with the life you want to live.
