“I have been working with Liudmila for the past few months. She has been a great outlet for me to share my personal struggles and challenges, and is excellent at asking good questions to help with my own self-reflection, while also offering pragmatic tools to assess my headspace. She is kind and compassionate, and I would highly recommend her!”

“I am so grateful that I started seeing Liudmila. Her kindness, empathy, and understanding comes through in every minute of our sessions.
I've felt and seen a noticeable improvement in my mental health since our sessions began, and recommend anyone hesitating to take the leap in seeing a therapist to reach out. ”

Getting to know Liudmila Bakhmat
I enjoy working with clients from diverse backgrounds dealing with a wide range of concerns. My job is to guide a client through revelations, insights, and desires; to help them explore and understand what drives them and what might interfere with their journey; to support them in discovering the best relationship with themself and others. I utilize a holistic, collaborative, and non-judgmental approach to ensure my clients feel accepted as they are. I recognize the uniqueness of each client and take great care to tailor my approaches to meet their specific needs, drawing on a number of eclectic therapeutic modalities. I hold a Master’s in Social Work from Columbia University and have earned a Certificate in Child and Adolescent Therapy from the Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy Study Center. Additionally, I completed a Fellowship in Psychodynamic Psychotherapy at the Karen Horney Clinic, further enriching my ability to support clients through psychodynamic approaches.
What should a new client know about working with you?
For me, the therapist-client relationship is sacred; one must know they are in a safe and supportive environment. I place great emphasis on collaboration and establishing a connection that is built upon trust, openness, and mutual respect – this is the foundation which enables meaningful engagement where we can work together towards achieving the client's goals.

I’ve seen a few therapist and none have compared Liudmila! She really makes the effort to make you feel supported in whatever hardships you are going through. Usually starting with a new therapist is weird and awkward but it was not at allll with her. I feel super comfortable and open to talk about anything, she does not force any conversations and always makes sure you are ready to talk about specific things. Overall, making that first appointment was the best decision I have made for my mental health!

I have been a patient of Mila's for 3.5 years and she has made such a difference in my life! She was ALWAYS on time and never ever missed or forgot about a session (quite impressive given that I've seen her twice a week for 3+ years). Her intelligence is the hallmark of her therapeutic approach. Her lines of questioning are thoughtful without being redundant. She is not a "and how does that make you feel?" kind of therapist. She is more of a "why do you think you're having this thought or feeling?" kind of therapist. Her critical thinking skills are of the highest caliber. I made lots of jokes in therapy and I really appreciated that she would laugh (and sometimes make jokes too!) but she always had a filter and knew how keep her humor appropriate. She is so easy to talk to and always had a kind and encouraging attitude. I cannot recommend her enough!!!!!

Liudmila is special. I was put at ease and felt very comfortable communicating with her. It is rare that you get the opportunity to interact with someone who creates such a warm and inviting environment to express yourself. Self-care is important and I strongly recommend her as someone who is thoughtful, genuine and knowledgeable.
