The Pain that Brought You Here
You already know that relationships can be painful. At work, at home, with friends, or in romance, you can experience:
- Loneliness
- Lack of connection
- Arguing/Yelling/Complaining
- Codependency and weak or no boundaries
- Feeling like you’re not enough for people important to you
But that’s not all. Your relationships can be troubled by simple boredom, changing needs, growing apart, or lack of intimacy.
So yeah, relationships can be painful. You know that. And do you know that they don’t have to be? Your relationships can start a new chapter. With your boss? With your spouse? With your family members?
Yes. Yes. Yes.

Hi, I’m Polina Fedotenko, a registered psychotherapist in Ontario, Canada.
My journey to becoming a relationship therapist started when I was very young. At 15, I moved from Russia to Israel without my parents. It wasn’t easy for me to make friends - I didn’t even speak the language. I often felt alone and uncomfortable.
Then I moved again, this time to Canada as a 21-year-old newlywed. Yet again, I had no friends and felt socially isolated (despite knowing the language this time). I doubted myself, didn’t feel “good enough,” and struggled to get by without strong connections.
The turning point for me was when I began sharing my feelings with others. As I began opening up more and more, I saw that our most personal problems are more common than we realize. Everyone wants connection. Everyone wants to feel seen, heard, and valued. And everyone wants to feel like they matter.
Having gone through this the hard way, I have empathy for your struggles. I’ve made it to the other side - today, my relationships are deeper, stronger, and more connected than ever before - and I can’t wait to help you achieve the same in your relationships. I’m so glad you’re here.
