She trained in full model Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) for individuals with Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD), emotion dysregulation, and suicidal behavior during her internship at the VA Ann Arbor/ University of Michigan Healthcare System. There, she also trained in interventions for substance use disorders, depression and anxiety disorders, completed neuropsychological assessments, and worked with individuals having comorbid PTSD. She has worked in a broad range of settings, including primary care clinics, state hospital (Not Guilty by Reason of Insanity), private practice, and with young children with behavioral problems through the Incredible Years program.
Dr. Oxana has presented at several national conferences and published in peer-reviewed journals, and continues to prioritize maintaining scholarly engagement. She is licensed in FL, MN, PA, and has the authority to practice in most states through PSYPACT.
Therapeutic Approach
Dr. Oxana is an integrative cognitive behavioral therapist, meaning that she sees the connections between several therapeutic modalities for a range of disorders that all fit under the cognitive behavioral umbrella and integrates these according to the needs of the client. Integrated therapeutic modalities include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), ERP, and DBT. She conceptualizes a "map" of the transdiagnostic ("across disorders") mechanisms that maintain a client's problems, which serves as the treatment road map. Throughout treatment, the client's emotional experience is emphasized for optimal change, growth, and learning.
