We are incredibly grateful for the support and guidance our daughter received while working through her performance anxiety. We initially reached out to Dr. Alina Yurkovsky on a Sunday in a bit of a despair after our daughter's anxiety was not subsiding over a course of a week. She was extremely responsive and called me right away, spending quite a bit of of her personal time trying to understand our concerns. She scheduled our first session the very next day to ensure our daughter got the help she needed. From the very beginning, Dr. Yurkovsky created a safe, comfortable space where our daughter felt truly heard and understood.
What really stood out to us was the time Dr. Yurkovsky took to listen and understand our concerns as parents, as well as our daughter as an individual. She has a wonderful way of using relatable analogies and practical examples that made difficult feelings easier for our daughter to understand and work through. Dr. Yurkovsky's calm, reassuring energy immediately put her at ease.
Beyond the sessions themselves, it was clear that Dr. Yurkovsky genuinely cared about her progress. She followed up, checked in, and consistently showed authentic concern for how she was doing. Her approach is very genuine, sincere and not at all transactional, which makes a meaningful difference.
We have seen our daughter improve and develop tools to better manage her anxiety, and we are so thankful. We would wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Yurkovsky to any parent looking for a psychologist who is experienced working with teens, compassionate, authentic, attentive, and truly invested in their patients.
Dr. Alina is the best! She is actual PHD, not a social worker. She’s amazing at reducing anxiety, DBT, family issues and more. I defer her to many clients and friends. She gives you feedback and a plan, not just a listening ear.
She is wonderful! She really gets it, what the person sitting on the couch is going through. She helped me reduce anxiety. I especially recommend anyone who is going through a lot of emotions during the dating process.

I had an amazing experience working with Dr. Alina. I reached out to her during a very difficult time when I was dealing with high levels of anxiety, stress, and nervous system overwhelm caused by ongoing issues in my living environment.
From the very first session, I felt calm, safe, and truly understood. She has a very gentle, professional, and effective approach that helped me feel grounded almost immediately. I noticed a significant reduction in my anxiety after just one session, which honestly surprised me in the best way.
She creates a space where you feel supported and cared for, and that made a huge difference for me during a very stressful period in my life. I left the session feeling lighter, more in control, and with a sense of peace I hadn’t felt in a while.
I highly recommend Dr. Alina to anyone who is dealing with stress, anxiety, or emotional overwhelm. She truly cares and her work is very powerful.
Thank you so much, Dr. Alina
Dr. Yurkovsky has been a great help to us in helping us navigate the right communication skills and develop the most understanding of each other’s needs, for the best interests of our entire family. She is smart, caring, relatable and thinks out of the box in problem solving complicated family dynamics. I highly recommend her!
