About
Nadia Chumachenko is a CDA-licensed psychologist practising in Dubai. She works in person with adults navigating anxiety, emotional instability, and the strain that relationships carry when life stops being predictable.
Her approach draws on attachment and relational frameworks: the idea that steadiness is built between people, not performed alone. Sessions are held in English, Ukrainian, and Russian.
She is the author of STEADY GROUND, a field guide to staying emotionally stable when the world around you is not.
