Hello!

Sometimes the soul is bad. No strength, no mood, melancholy and loss, and you don't know how to get out. So I had such a period. I was looking for psychologists, looked closely at trainings, studied schools and methods - my mental health can only be entrusted to reliable hands.

I dismissed the trainings right away - I interviewed experienced acquaintances, read the reviews (I was looking for critical ones, of course), with an analysis of the applied techniques and realized that I would not tolerate such a rude interference in my head. All these schools of success, breakthrough methods of changing life, courses of female happiness - not, not mine.

Further psychologists and psychotherapists. A huge number of specialists, different methods of work and different prices... I walked through the LiveJournal of eminent healers of souls and gasped - half of my salary would have to be paid for this help! Working with a psychologist is not a one-time action, it is work on a regular basis, once a week for several months. Including payment for canceled sessions for many - in order, therefore, to discipline the client.

And somehow I began to lean towards the idea that best help- independent. She covered herself with books and articles ... how a truck with gingerbread overturned on my street - someone recommended the MSPP (Moscow Psychological Aid Service) to me. The specialists are competent - they helped the recommending merchant. And, unexpectedly, it's free. Oh, for free it's worth at least a try, I decided, putting aside my books, and rushed to sign up!

I started with face-to-face consultations. That is, I signed up for a geographically convenient branch and came at the appointed time. Earlier I visited psychologists and knew approximately what kind of animals they were :) I filled out the questionnaire and went to the session. A lady psychologist was waiting for me in a separate, moderately spacious office. Actually, we started to work. But somehow, for the third session, I abandoned this business - I stopped liking the lady, well, that's not it, that's all. The usefulness of the sessions was rapidly falling due to my distrust. Oops.

After a month I decided to continue. But from another specialist. I chose another branch, closer, asked myself to choose someone more experienced and prettier :) But somehow the circumstances of my life kept preventing me from getting to the session, then one thing another ...

And then I finally found my own format, in which I work now - SKYPE consulting. Surprisingly, this type of modern service is also provided by the MSPP. I found my psychologist, with whom I was comfortable and effective (he turned out to be a psychotherapist in fact) - and this is a man. I'm happy, I don't miss sessions - we talk once a week, 45 minutes. Sometimes I have homework, sometimes he sends me books on the topic ... Problems are slowly being solved and the light at the end of the tunnel shines with a bright sun!

And now, for the impatient, briefly:

• help is absolutely free! (provided that you are a Muscovite / have a temporary registration / study at a Moscow university, etc.) Forms of assistance: full-time consultation, skype work (both with video and just audio), correspondence.
• usually an appointment a week or two before the session. Except for emergency psychological help.
• there are some thematic seminars and work in a therapeutic group - but I have not tried it yet, have not had time.
• geographically there are many branches, you can choose any
• specialists have different focus and different methods. Look for your own, not everyone will suit you and be able to help! Maybe you change about 5 - like me :)
• help - when contacting via skype - CONFIDENTIAL. My psychotherapist does not have any of my data other than my email address and Skype nickname. I do not include video communication. In case of full-time work, a passport is presented, some questionnaires ... keep in mind!
• paid services are also provided, prices are humane.
• the number of face-to-face consultations is limited: usually 5, but your psychologist can extend it to 10. Then there is a break.
• all specialists with at least diplomas and extensive current practice. Alas, there are no profiles, regalia or photos of specialists on the site .. terra incognita, so you choose a pig in a poke every time.
• the site is informative enough, it is easy to get through by phone - everything works stably.

I am very glad that in our city there is an opportunity to receive this kind of assistance. And it is needed not only by people with grave problems or losses, but also by ordinary ordinary Muscovites - everyone has their own "cockroaches" or a blues that is about to develop into depression.
