The Center for Scientific Psychology and EMDR Therapy «Encyclopedia» brings together a team of specialists working with evidence-based psychotherapy methods. Below are all the services we offer: from EMDR therapy to coaching and neuropsychological assessment.
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) enables the processing of traumatic memories, reducing the emotional charge of painful events and forming new, adaptive beliefs about oneself.

CBT works with the connection between thoughts, emotions, and behavior. You learn to identify automatic negative thoughts, test their realism, and replace them with more adaptive ones. The method is structured, results-oriented, and provides concrete tools for self-help.
| What we treat | How it works | Who it's for |
|---|---|---|
| Anxiety disorders, panic attacks, depression, OCD, insomnia (CBT-I), social anxiety, phobias, procrastination | Structured 50-minute sessions with homework. Typically 8–20 sessions. Emphasis on skills and tools | Those who value structure and concrete techniques; want tools for independent work |

EFT helps couples and individuals understand and change destructive interaction cycles. Instead of endless arguments about "who's right," you learn to see what lies behind your partner's behavior — fear, pain, need for closeness — and find new ways to connect.
| What we treat | How it works | Who it's for |
|---|---|---|
| Couple conflicts, emotional withdrawal, infidelity recovery, recurring negative relationship patterns, fear of intimacy | 80-minute sessions for couples. The therapist helps partners hear each other on a deeper emotional level | Couples at any stage; individuals struggling with building close relationships |

DBT teaches four skill groups: mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotional regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness. The method combines acceptance ("it is what it is") with change ("I can do things differently").
| What we treat | How it works | Who it's for |
|---|---|---|
| Emotional swings, impulsivity, uncontrollable anger, self-harming behavior, supportive therapy for BPD and bipolar disorder | Individual sessions with skill practice. Emphasis on concrete self-regulation techniques | People with intense, hard-to-control emotions; those who found CBT insufficiently deep in working with emotions |
Specialists: Dmitry Volkov
Systemic family therapy does not work with a "guilty party" but with interaction patterns. If there is tension in the family — everyone suffers. The therapist helps see how the family system works and find opportunities for change.
| What we treat | How it works | Who it's for |
|---|---|---|
| Parent-child conflicts, adolescent crises, parenting disagreements, family crises, generational conflict | Family sessions of 80–90 minutes. 2 to 5+ family members may participate. The therapist works with the entire system | Families with adolescents; couples with children; extended families in crisis |

Neuropsychological assessment evaluates higher mental functions: memory, attention, thinking, speech. This is especially important after traumatic brain injuries, strokes, and when cognitive impairment is suspected.
| What we do | How it works | Who it's for |

Rehabilitation: regular sessions with exercises | People after head injuries; those with memory and attention decline; children with learning difficulties |

Psychiatric care at the center is not "pills instead of therapy" but a thoughtful combination of medication support with psychotherapy. The psychiatrist assesses the condition, makes a diagnosis, prescribes medication if needed, and supports the client throughout the course.
| What we do | How it works | Who it's for |
|---|---|---|
| Psychiatric diagnostics, medication support for depression, anxiety disorders, BPD, bipolar disorder; EMDR combined with pharmacotherapy | Initial consultation 50–80 minutes: history taking, diagnostics, recommendations. Follow-up appointments as needed | Those who suspect they have a clinical disorder; those for whom psychotherapy without medication provides insufficient effect |
Specialists: Vasily Serov
