Igor Kholodylo
Clinical Psychologist · Trauma Therapist
Trauma creates changes you didn't choose.
Healing is changes you choose.
I'm a veteran of two wars, a combat medic, wounded near Avdiivka. I know trauma from the inside. I work with a multimodal chromatic approach – combining EMDR, body therapy, ketamine-assisted therapy, and other evidence-based methods.
My Approach
Multimodal Chromatic Approach
I don't believe in “one pill for everything.” Every person is a complex system, and therapy must work on all levels: body, emotions, thoughts, meaning. That's why I combine several evidence-based methods tailored to each person and situation.
