Tatyana Shchupak, Ph.D.'s style

Why Tatyana Shchupak, Ph.D. chose to be in the helping profession

I chose this profession because I genuinely enjoy working with people and find this work deeply meaningful. It feels like a real privilege to sit with someone as they share their inner world and invite me into their story. I am naturally curious about what makes people think, feel, and act the way they do, and psychology gives me a way to explore that in a structured and helpful way. Being able to turn that curiosity into something that actually supports people in their lives is very fulfilling for me.

I especially love psychological testing, because it feels like solving a puzzle that can bring clarity to what has felt confusing or overwhelming. There is something powerful about putting the pieces together in a way that helps clients better understand what is going on for them. My hope is that the results give people not only clear answers, but also direction and guidance for growth. Therapy is equally rewarding for me, as it allows me to be present with someone in their difficult moments, support their personal growth over time, and also learn from them in the process.

Tatyana Shchupak, Ph.D.'s approach

Whether you are feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or simply in need of someone to talk to, you do not have to go through it alone. I have years of experience providing both therapy and evaluations, and I work with children, adolescents, and adults at different stages of life. I support clients navigating anxiety, depression, ADHD, life transitions and stress, learning difficulties, behavioral or parenting struggles, relationship issues, and trauma. I also offer neuropsychological testing to help obtain diagnostic clarity, including concerns such as Autism, ADHD, and learning issues, along with recommendations for school accommodations and treatment planning.

My approach is collaborative and grounded in evidence-based techniques like CBT, and I always tailor what we do to your specific needs and goals. I aim to create a space that feels safe, supportive, and free of judgment, where you can bring what is really on your mind. For some people, that looks like structured guidance and clear strategies to move forward. For others, it means having room to explore at their own pace and make sense of their experiences over time. Either way, we will work together to focus on what matters most to you.

What you can expect from sessions with Tatyana Shchupak, Ph.D.

Throughout therapy, you will begin to notice your thought patterns more clearly and understand how they shape your emotions and behaviors. Together, we will look at what is helping you and what may be getting in your way. From there, we will gently practice new ways of thinking and responding that feel more aligned with how you want to show up in your life. Over time, this process can create a sense of clarity and self-awareness that feels both grounding and empowering.

We will also focus on practical tools you can use in your daily life, not just ideas that stay in the therapy room. The goal is real, lasting change that helps you build confidence, resilience, and a sense of momentum forward. Along the way, we might use metaphors to make things easier to understand and remember, and we will bring in humor when it fits.

I offer virtual and in-person appointments at several locations, including South Brooklyn and Downtown Brooklyn.

Tatyana Shchupak, Ph.D.'s experience working with the Jewish community

I have worked with many clients from Jewish backgrounds, supporting individuals and families with a wide range of concerns, including family dynamics, stress and anxiety, and life transitions. Whether someone is adjusting to a new stage of life, navigating complex relationships, or carrying long-standing worries, my goal is to meet them where they are with care and respect. It is important to me that you feel seen not only as an individual, but also in the context of your family and community.

I also recognize how cultural and community factors can deeply impact mental health, especially within the Jewish world. Expectations, values, and unspoken norms can all affect how comfortable someone feels seeking support and talking about what they are going through. I keep these factors in mind and tailor my approach to each person’s unique needs, background, and comfort level. Together, we will work in a way that honors your experiences, your identity, and what feels right for you.
