Dasha Tcherniakovskaia

Dasha Tcherniakovskaia, JD, LMHC, is a compassionate counselor dedicated to guiding individuals and couples through their therapeutic journeys. In her practice, she helps clients uncover and address their longings - whether it be the persistent feeling that something is missing, the desire to find happiness, or the need to break free from unproductive patterns. These yearnings often get obscured by distractions, worries, or addictions, and Dasha creates a safe space for exploration. She recognizes that the pursuit of fulfilling needs can evoke fear and self-sabotage regarding success, love, intimacy, and purpose. With a focus on the entirety of a person's experience, rather than merely isolated symptoms or labels, therapy becomes a platform for restoring purpose, alleviating distressing symptoms, and building meaningful relationships. Drawing from her previous experience as a lawyer, Dasha understands the unique challenges faced by professionals seeking balance, purpose, or a fundamental shift in their lives. In her collaborative sessions with couples, she enhances communication, helps resolve conflicts over finances or intimacy, assists in healing from infidelity, and supports partners in making critical decisions about their relationships. Dasha’s inclusive practice is sex-positive and poly-friendly, and she offers tailored strategies for individuals dealing with ADHD or ASD to improve their relational dynamics.
