Viktoriia Lishchyna

Child psychologist | Art therapist | 8 years of practical experience

I help children better understand themselves, cope with emotional challenges, and confidently navigate key developmental stages.

I work with children aged 4 and above and provide guidance to parents on upbringing, development, and fostering harmonious family relationships.

In my practice, I use art therapy, play-based, and developmental techniques that help children safely express their feelings, discover inner resources, and build self-confidence.

Areas of focus include:
• Anxiety, fears, and low self-esteem;
• Aggressive behavior and peer conflicts;
• Difficulties in communication and socialization;
• Adjustment to kindergarten and school;
• Grief and loss;
• Parental separation and family transitions;
• Emotional and behavioral challenges;
• Development of emotional intelligence.

Emotional and volitional development

I assist children in recognizing and expressing their emotions, managing feelings such as frustration, fear, anger, and anxiety. Sessions focus on developing self-control, perseverance, responsibility, adherence to rules, and follow-through.

Cognitive development

I support the growth of attention, memory, thinking, speech, imagination, and perception—skills essential for successful learning, school adaptation, and confident exploration of the world.

School readiness

I prepare children for school holistically by nurturing learning skills, fostering a love of discovery, independence, focus, and the ability to interact with peers and adults.

Psychological support during adjustment

I help children adapt more easily to kindergarten and school, overcome fears, reduce anxiety, and develop a positive attitude toward new environments. I also support parents during this period and provide practical guidance on interacting with their child.

I believe in creating a safe space where children feel heard, accepted, and understood. Every child possesses inner resources for growth and overcoming challenges, and my role is to help them unlock these strengths.
