Snezhana Klawitter Psychotherapy
About Me
I believe that every person has the internal capacity, wisdom and resources to heal; however, some need a little assistance. I provide that assistance by creating and holding a safe and nurturing space for you, which allows you to discuss, process and heal.
My name is Snezhana and I am a Registered Marriage and Family Therapist Associate. I completed my master’s degree in Holistic Counseling Psychology at John F. Kennedy University. Prior to attending JFK, I obtained a B.A. in Special Education from the Tashkent Pedagogical University, Uzbekistan. I speak Russian and have experience working with people of many cultures.
Working with children, adults, and families, I bring to my practice over 20 years of experience in education, learning and development, as well as the intuition, empathy and warmth of my real-life experiences. I look forward to helping you.
