With over 11 years of professional experience, Anita is a seasoned child, perinatal, and family psychologist, as well as an art therapist. She is also a gifted author of therapeutic fairy tales that use warm, healing words to nurture children’s hearts. Deeply immersed in the field of child psychology, she excels at integrating psychological theory with art therapy techniques, weaving games and creative activities into her work to subtly cultivate positive thinking in children. Through storytelling, she empowers children’s emotional growth, helping them build self-confidence and embrace who they are.

Her solid academic foundation has provided a strong base for her professional practice. In 2015, Anita graduated from the Department of Applied Psychology at St. Petersburg State University of Psychology and Social Work. In 2017, she continued her studies at the university’s Department of Health and Developmental Psychology, where she systematically mastered core knowledge of child psychological development and intervention—this department is renowned for its practice-oriented approach, emphasizing the integration of theory with psychological counseling and intervention methods, which has greatly supported her subsequent work.

Her extensive frontline experience has given her a profound understanding of children’s inner worlds.

Through painting, play, and other artistic forms, she helped children express their emotions and build confidence—a philosophy that aligns closely with her approach of incorporating creative interaction into her therapeutic fairy tales. From 2018 to 2021, she offered individual and group sessions at the T.P. Center for Practical Psychology and Psychoanalysis in Kyiv, further expanding her practice in psychotherapy. From 2019 to 2021, she served as a child psychologist at the inclusive preschool “Cool Kids Club” in Kyiv, gaining valuable experience in supporting children with diverse needs.
