About Vakhtang
Vakhtang Gomelauri, LCSW, helps people who are struggling with sleep and rest issues as well as stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship concerns. He brings 12 years of clinical experience and uses a conversational, reflective style to help clients notice patterns that affect their sleep and daily functioning. Sessions are focused on practical steps and understanding the feelings and memories that keep someone stuck.
He practices psychodynamic psychotherapy and draws on mindfulness and trauma-focused ideas when useful. That means he pays attention to early life experiences, recurring reactions, and how current stressors connect to past events. He also teaches simple techniques people can use between sessions to reduce anxiety and improve sleep habits.
Vakhtang aims to help people make sense of their values and relationships. He works with clients to identify small, achievable changes that ease distress and improve daily routines. Conversations are paced to each person’s comfort and capacity.
He has worked with people from different cultures, religions, gender identities, and life situations. Sessions include both short-term problem-focused work and longer-term exploration of recurring patterns, depending on what the client wants.
Vakhtang offers care in English, Georgian, and Russian from his New York practice. He checks messages regularly and asks prospective clients to use the Start Therapy button to begin the matching and scheduling process.
Approaches that can help with sleep and emotional patterns
Psychodynamic therapy focuses on how past relationships and early experiences shape current reactions. It helps people notice recurring patterns that might disrupt sleep and daily routines.Mindfulness therapy teaches simple ways to pay attention to the present moment without judgment. These practices can reduce racing thoughts at night and improve the ability to wind down before sleep.
Finding the right approach is often a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, symptoms, and preferences and together decide which methods to try first. Progress is reviewed regularly and the plan can change based on what works for the individual.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm the available session formats before booking since the profile does not list specific options. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also let someone continue regular care while managing symptoms that affect energy or mobility.
