Like many others, you may wish you were happier or felt more successful and fulfilled. I'm Dr. Natasha Khazanov, and it's my mission to help people change their stressful, negative mindset and enjoy more success by adding some serious G.R.I.T. Leading research shows it's these four qualities that link successful, fulfilled people.
And best of all, G.R.I.T. can be increased at any age, unlike IQ, using simple and natural techniques. The things that stress us out in the modern world are no longer life-threatening, like saber-toothed tigers, as they were for our ancestors. Instead, what gives us anxiety is taking a test, speaking in public, or performing at work.

Dr. Khazanov is hands down one of the best in her field. She brings a unique combination of scientific knowledge, as a neuroscientist, as well as a wealth of emotional and more abstract problem solving skills. She is supportive, insightful, and always honest. She changed my life and I can't say how grateful I am for her teachings. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Dr. Khazanov is an incredible therapist. I can not recommend her enough. I have known her for many years. Her and I have discussed parenting strategies and issues related to parenting- anxiety, worry, frustration, boundaries, relationships, etc. I have found her to be an incredibly compassionate, kind, helpful, trustworthy, and knowledgeable person. She gives wonderful advice and tools to tackle life. She listens and takes in what you are saying so well. I have never felt rushed or misunderstood. She is easy to talk to and ask questions of and pose ideas to. I always feel cared about, heard, and

Dr. Natasha is nothing short of amazing. I love her practice of empowering me to choose to end my suffering. She is definitely a user of tools and practicing what you learn. I have a hard time remembering to practice but appreciate that I can always come back to it. We all have flaws and the compassionate C.A.R.E. checklist helps me to equipment with just dealing with life and relationships. I can't say thank you enough for her.

Dr. Khazanov is one of those extremely rare and gifted professionals who has helped me through some of the most extraordinarily challenging times in life with compassion and effective counseling. Besides being grounded in neuroscience, her style is also intuitive and gentle yet usefully firm when needed. I am so grateful for her deeply personal style and the practical skills she has taught me. I'm looking forward to continued growth with an even better sense of self-compassion, awareness and sensibility to experience life to the fullest and with better consistency.

Dr khazanov was extremely helpful in helping me communicate and connect much more effectively with my son. She has a very warm and nurturing manner and eases you into dealing with things using a different approach - one that starts with being compassionate to self, which allowed me to be a much better parent. I highly recommend her and believe my son would as well. She teaches techniques to help you better strategize and navigate the turbulent times in your life

I whole-heartedly recommend Dr. Khazanov to anyone who wants to experience themselves and their life more positively and fully. She is very solution-oriented and will offer tools that you can use in many areas of your life. Her in-depth understanding of the brain and how it works, partnered with her deep sense of compassion and versatility in how she interacts with her patients, makes her a unique find among therapists. I've been seeing her for about a year now, have worked hard using the tools she has offered me, and have experienced profound progress in how I relate to myself, my relationships

I've been seeing Dr. Khazanov on and off for a while now whenever the going gets tough so to speak and I have to say that she is one of the most knowledgeable, down to earth and really kind doctors. She draws her knowledge not only from the science of brain or cognitive therapy blah blah but also from being open to multiple modalities let it be either EFT, EMDR, Byron Katie, meditation, or mind/body connection. And she backs it up with practical tools that I feel have been super helpful in my life. One my favorite parts of working with Dr. Khazanov is that she makes you think deep and look

Dr. Khazanov is an amazing therapist. She is extremely intelligent and she shares appropriate studies which apply to your situation. She is an excellent resource and I feel like I learn something new and applicable to my life during each session. She has helped me through a very difficult divorce after 28 years of marriage. The skills I have learned through her will help me throughout my life and I find myself sharing some of these lessons with my kids too. You would be very lucky to have Dr. Khazanov on your team.
