Our colleague Mariia Tyshchenko has successfully completed the certification process and has been obtained the qualification of TFP therapist. We warmly congratulate her on this achievement.

Maria’s professional path reflects sustained commitment, intellectual rigor, and a genuine interest in understanding complex psychological processes. Her development as a clinician has been shaped by continuous study and practice.

Maria Tyshchenko is a PhD candidate in psychology at the Kyiv Institute of Modern Psychology and Psychotherapy (KIMPP), a psychologist, and a psychotherapist registered with the European Association for Psychotherapy (EAP) and the World Council for Psychotherapy (WCP). She works as an educator, multimodal supervisor (ECPP), trainer in the basic course of positive and transcultural psychotherapy (WAPP), trauma therapist, trauma-focused therapist, sexologist, art therapist, mediator, psychosomatic specialist, and family consultant.

She is also certified at the state level (OSCE) in family psychology and domestic violence prevention and serves as a trainer in programs addressing the prevention of violence. This broad professional background contributes to a nuanced, multidimensional understanding of human behavior and suffering—an essential foundation for work in the TFP model.

Maria maintains a private practice and teaches at the Odessa Educational and Psychotherapeutic Center named after Moisey Wulf, where she shares her knowledge and clinical experience with developing professionals.

Her primary clinical areas include psychotherapy with individuals who have borderline personality organization, work with survivors and perpetrators of domestic violence, and treatment of trauma-related disorders.
