Licensed professional counselors Johanna Dwinells and Sarah Bryski-Hamrick are slowly demystifying and destigmatizing therapy, one episode at a time. Recording and living in the Philadelphia area, Johanna and Sarah work to make therapy feel more accessible, with quirky, sometimes intrusive questions that reveal the human side of healthcare professionals, all while they overcome their own anxieties and internalized stigmas. TW: NoneEpisode summary: Johanna has a big announcement. Sarah is boosted. They both discuss the history of couples and sex therapy. Guest, Kira Yakubov, talks about opening a group private practice and collectivism, enmeshment and ADHD.Guest Bio: Kira Yakubov is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in the state of PA. She recently expanded her solo private practice into a virtual group practice called Heal Your Roots Wellness. Kira received her Master’s degree in Marriage and Family Therapy in 2016 and continued her education with Post- Graduate training in Systmetic Sex Therapy from Council for Relationships. Kira has experience working in community mental health, in a high school setting with adolescents, and the last 4 -5 years of her career has been in private practice. Kira is bilingual and immigrated to America as a refugee in 1992.

When she isn’t working, she enjoys going for long morning walks with her husband and pup, traveling, trying new food, learning about psychedelics, and gardening.   Sources for today’s History Lesson: “Sex therapy: brief historic and current perspectives” by Barbara Braga de Lucena and Carmita Helena Najjar Abdo; wikipedia.orgResources: “The Bob’s Burger Burger Book: Real Recipes for Joke Burgers” by Loren BouchardQuestions/comments/concerns?

Episode 19: Hope for 2022, Couples and Sex Therapy and Guest Kira Yakubov

We're talking with Kira Yakubov, LMFT, and one of our returning Support Group Leaders from November 2019's support group + workshop in Philadelphia, "Coping with Recurring Stress &amp; Tackling Pressures Head On."  Kira is an Individual, Couples, and Sex Therapist helping others struggling with anxiety, self-worth, relational distress, and cross cultural challenges gain powerful insight to living an authentic life.  In this episode, we focus on understanding SHAME and working to get past shame and confusion of being something or doing something you're not.  At a young age, Kira and her family came to America as refugees from the Soviet Union, a dangerous time during its fall.  For her, strong feelings of shame began as a child being raised in a culture oppressive towards women's roles and sexuality, and for herself, feeling that something was wrong with her for wanting to rebel against the gender-stereotype.  In a culture where mental health may not be understood well, through her work, Kira now helps others heal with self-acceptance and support in understanding feelings of being misunderstood.    In this episode, you'll hear from Kira on... -Shame and How it Can Develop Into Other Mental Health Concerns -Guilt vs. Shame -Her Self-Discovery Journey in Recognizing Her Value to Recognize Your Worth Past One Identity -Relationship Dynamics (Toxic vs. Healthy) &amp; Vocalizing Boundaries -Establishing your Self-Empowerment When Others Don't Agree or Support You ...and so much more.   *Kira also explores the Therapy Process with an inside perspective on therapy sessions focused on relationships.  Visit kirayakubov.com to schedule a Free Intro Call, schedule a session, and learn more about Kira's offerings.    Follow Us!
