I work with my clients to create a space where they can feel a sense of relief upon entering, knowing that they are respected and listened to without judgement.

Konstantin Sheftelevich

MSW, LICSW - Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker

It is sometimes difficult to remain optimistic, hopeful, motivated, and determined when facing life’s challenges. My goal is to help people process emotional pain and to support them in achieving the best version of themselves. I received my BA in Psychology at the University of Massachusetts – Amherst, and, after five years of working in various therapeutic settings, completed my Master of Social Work degree at the University of Washington in Seattle. I have experience in community mental health, inpatient and outpatient psychiatric settings, as well as in wilderness therapy. Throughout my career, I am proud to have served patients from a broad range of cultural and socio-economic backgrounds and can provide therapy in Russian. I enjoy facilitating group therapy and working with individuals, couples, and families while using a collaborative, strengths-based, whole-person approach to therapy. By incorporating aspects of dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), cognitive behavior therapy (CBT), and motivational interviewing, we will create a treatment plan and continue to build a foundation of healthy coping strategies.
