I am Maksym Ryzhkov, a Gestalt therapist who knows what it means to fight, survive, and learn to live authentically.
I work with men and women who are tired of being “convenient,” losing themselves, and living by someone else’s rules.
Instead of ready-made advice — I offer honest connection, support, and a path toward inner stability.
I don’t tell you what’s right — I walk beside you, with attention, humour, and respect for the pain you’ve carried for years.

Three facts about me:

I have cerebral palsy, and it doesn’t stop me from being a professional, helping people, and building a life in which I choose myself.

I work as a therapist with people who have faced humiliation, the feeling of “I’m not good enough,” and the fear of rejection — because I’ve been through it myself.

I am building an adult life from scratch in another country, without relying on the “old system,” and I know exactly what it means to start with a blank page — when it’s scary and lonely.
