1. In-Person (Moscow)

In-person format — classic face-to-face sessions in the center's office in Moscow. This is the optimal choice for those who value personal contact with the therapist and either live in Moscow or can travel for sessions.

Feature	Description
Duration	50 or 80 minutes
BLS	Visual, tactile (tappers), auditory
Atmosphere	Safe, confidential space
Best for	Those living in Moscow; those who value face-to-face contact; those who prefer tactile BLS

Advantage of in-person format: access to tactile bilateral stimulation (tappers), which some clients find more effective than visual or auditory BLS.

2. Online (Video)

Online format — full therapeutic sessions via video call (Zoom, Google Meet). Effectiveness is comparable to in-person format — this is confirmed by research.

Feature	Description
Duration	50 or 80 minutes
Platform	Zoom, Google Meet (by arrangement)
BLS	Visual (on-screen), auditory (via headphones)
Best for	Clients from other cities and countries; those with busy schedules; those who value the comfort of home

Online therapy is not inferior to in-person: meta-analyses show that online EMDR therapy is just as effective as in-person for PTSD, anxiety, and depressive disorders. On-screen visual BLS and auditory BLS via headphones provide full bilateral stimulation.

3. Messenger Support

Messenger-based psychological support — a flexible support format via Telegram or WhatsApp. You send audio or text messages, and the specialist responds within 48 hours with detailed analysis and recommendations.

Feature	Description
Communication	Audio and text messages
Response time	Within 48 hours
Cost	from 3,000 ₽ / week
Best for	Those who can't commit to fixed times; frequent travelers; those in different time zones; those who prefer written/audio communication

Advantages: you're not tied to a schedule, you can formulate thoughts at your own pace, re-read the specialist's responses, and revisit recommendations. Weekly payment — no long-term commitment.

4. 100% Anonymous Therapy

100% Anonymous Therapy — a unique format for public figures, C-level executives, and anyone with heightened confidentiality requirements. Uses AI-based face and voice masking technology.

Feature	Description
Identification	Not required — no passport data
Masking	Real-time AI face and voice masking
Payment	Cryptocurrency or anonymous transfer
Best for	Public figures; politicians; executives; people with high privacy requirements

Important: the "100% Anonymous Therapy" format is only available for individual sessions (not couples) and requires prior approval from the center director.
