Connect with Yourself

Ilona Hrebennikova, LMFT, M.Ed, MA

I am a psychotherapist and a couples counselor. I specialize in working with couples and individuals on relationship issues and relational trauma. What I love about my work is helping people who have been struggling with relationships all their lives reconnect with themselves and others and build happy, satisfying relationships with their partners, family members, friends and other people in their lives.

I received my Master's Degree in Integral Counseling Psychology from the California Institute of Integral Studies in San Francisco. I also have a Master's Degree in Education, and I worked as an English teacher in my home country for nearly a decade. This may explain my passion for psycho-education in my therapy work. I believe it helps my clients to feel empowered and make informed choices. After all, my final goal is to help you come to a point where you no longer need my help.

I am a certified RLT therapist (Relational Life Therapy by Terry Real). I’m also trained in EFT (Emotionally Focused Therapy), Hakomi and the Gottman Method. I am also a certified Yoga Teacher.
