Irina Savonova

MD, Psychiatrist, Psychotherapist, PhD

Hello! My name is Irina Savonova — I'm a psychiatrist and psychotherapist. My professional experience has been built over years of study, clinical work, research, continuing education, and personal therapy. I focus on online work with clients and on creating a thoughtful space to talk about mental health: YouTube, Telegram, Instagram, Facebook, and a website with a blog.

Who I Can Help

In short — many people, with a variety of psychological or clinical concerns. Marketing sometimes encourages rigid categorization, but in practice, people arrive with different difficulties and often intuitively know where to seek help. What matters most is finding the right specialist for you. On my channels and site you'll learn what a psychologist, psychotherapist, and psychiatrist do, when it makes sense to seek help, and why it's not as scary as it may seem. We'll talk about common mental health problems, what can be done independently, and when it's better to consult a professional.

What would you like to discuss?

Anger Outbursts

When anger overwhelms and it's hard to stop — it's not just "a personality trait". Sometimes it's the nervous system reacting to accumulated stress, unresolved hurts, or chronic tension.

Adaptation Difficulties

When life changes, we change too. Sometimes the inner system can't adjust quickly and even positive events feel stressful: moving abroad, a new job, divorce, a new baby, or a change of environment.

Anxiety and Panic Attacks

This is not danger or "I'm going mad" — it's the psyche signaling "I'm overwhelmed, help me cope". Sometimes anxiety becomes a background hum: racing thoughts, muscle tension, broken sleep, a feeling that "something is wrong".

Personal Crisis & Relationship Problems

Sometimes a crisis hits both inside and in relationships: inner confusion and strained connections. You may feel like you're losing yourself and your bond with a partner is fraying.

Emotional Burnout

When energy runs out but pausing isn't possible — the psyche tightens to survive. Outwardly you may still function; inside you feel empty.

Emotional Dependence

When relationships become the center of your world and your sense of self fades.
