Sergiy Barsukov, OR Psychologist 1935

Sergiy Barsukov helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, depression, and life changes. He presents a calm presence and focuses on building an open, nonjudgmental space where clients can speak frankly about what they are facing. Taking the first step can feel hard, and he aims to make that step more manageable.

With 16 years of professional experience, Sergiy brings steady, practical support to the work. He listens closely and follows each person’s pace rather than pushing a fixed agenda. Conversations are aimed at understanding what matters most and finding small, workable steps forward.

Sergiy uses familiar, hands-on methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy to address thinking patterns and emotional reactions. He also draws on Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused Therapy to help clarify goals and build momentum. These approaches are adapted to each person’s situation instead of applied the same way for everyone.

Clients can expect sessions that focus on problem-solving, coping skills, and clearer decision-making. Sergiy pays attention to feelings like guilt and shame and to issues often described as midlife transitions or men’s concerns. He also supports people dealing with mood disorders and social anxiety.

He sees people in Oregon and communicates in English, Russian, and Ukrainian. The first appointment usually begins with a short conversation about priorities and what the person hopes to change. From there, goals and a plan are shaped together.
