Elena Bicherova, Ph.D.
Registered Psychological Associate
Supervised by Tanya Hilber, PsyD, PMH-C PSY24479
I am a Registered Psychological Associate (PSB 94027304) and am currently supervised by Dr. Tanya Hilber, Licensed Psychologist (PSY24479). I am a Psychological Associate focused on helping people with emotional and mental health issues and improving their sense of well‐being. I have a broad foundation both in academic psychology and in the practice of counseling psychology. I have years of work experience as a mental health psychologist in the Center for Psychological and Social Support and Career Guidance, Psychological and Pedagogical Rehabilitation, and Correction of Underage Abusing Substance. Moreover, I worked for 11 years as a teacher of psychology for both graduate and undergraduate students at a university.
Being a compassionate and emotionally stable professional, I use psychological methods to lend a hand to those who are dealing with mental and behavioral hardships. I mentor children and their families from different backgrounds using a strengths-based approach; as well as adhere to the principles of personality development to help people find themselves.
Ultimately, saving someone is not an action that can be taken and gotten over with, but the ability to become a shoulder to lean on is one of, if not the most, valuable skill I have as a PhD psychology associate.
Clinical Experience
I specialize in working with children, teens, and adults with Anxiety, Aggression, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorders (ADHD/ADD), and Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). I have extensive experience working with self-esteem, confidence, stress management, and learning disabilities.
I provide Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Play Therapy, and Art Therapy to influence behavior modification and address mood issues. I assist clients in cognitive, social, and emotional personal development and my techniques are based on every person's unique life experiences. I often use Positive Psychological Interventions (PPIs) for encouraging clients to work with their inner strengths.
