About Vaida Kurseviciene, Psy.D.

Feeling stuck, disconnected, or uncertain about how to move forward can be deeply painful—but it can also mark the beginning of meaningful change. As a psychologist, I help individuals, couples, and families turn emotional struggles into opportunities for growth and connection. I offer a calm, nonjudgmental space where you can make sense of your experiences, understand what drives your emotions and behaviors, and learn to respond with awareness rather than react from pain. Together, we work toward building a life and relationships that feel more grounded, intentional, and fulfilling.

My Approach

Every person and couple carries a unique story, and healing unfolds differently for everyone. My work is integrative and relational, drawing from psychodynamic, attachment-based, and interpersonal theories—approaches that invite curiosity about your inner world and help you understand how past experiences shape present patterns.

Through the lens of Internal Family Systems (IFS), we explore your inner parts with compassion, helping you meet even the most conflicted aspects of yourself with understanding rather than judgment—so that harmony replaces inner tension. I also use IFS with couples, helping partners recognize when reactive or protective parts—rather than their wiser, grounded selves—take the lead. By identifying and softening these parts, couples can transform conflict into opportunities for connection and mutual understanding.

For individuals and couples navigating relationship distress, I integrate insights from Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and the Gottman Method to illuminate the deeper emotional needs that underlie conflict and disconnection. These approaches not only help couples build trust and closeness but also support individuals in understanding their emotional patterns, strengthening their capacity for intimacy, and developing more secure, fulfilling relationships—both with others and with themselves.

In addition, I draw from the wisdom of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) to help patients decode the messages that manifest through their thoughts, emotions, and physical symptoms. Whether working with individuals, couples, or families, I guide you in seeing how what is happening within or around you can be an opportunity to grow, rebalance, and expand. This holistic lens bridges mind and body, inviting awareness of how emotional experiences and life events are connected to your overall well-being.

I also weave in mindfulness and cognitive-behavioral strategies to help calm the nervous system, regulate emotions, and cultivate new ways of thinking and relating that align with your values.

In our sessions, this blend of approaches feels both reflective and practical—balancing emotional depth with concrete tools for everyday life. Whether you’re uncovering the roots of recurring patterns, learning to manage anger, or rebuilding trust after emotional wounds, our work is guided by compassion, collaboration, and respect for your pace of growth.

Professional Background

I am a licensed clinical psychologist in Florida and New York, with PSYPACT authorization to provide telehealth across multiple U.S. states. I earned both my Master’s and Doctoral degrees in Clinical Psychology from Nova Southeastern University and completed my pre-doctoral internship and postdoctoral residency at the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs.

My experience in VA, hospital, and university settings has deepened my appreciation for each person’s unique cultural and emotional context. I have provided individual, couples, and group therapy for adults navigating relationship difficulties, trauma, anger, anxiety, depression, grief, and life transitions.

I continue to expand my training in Internal Family Systems, Traditional Chinese Medicine, the Gottman Method, Emotionally Focused Therapy, and psychodynamic couples therapy, integrating both Western research and Eastern philosophies to foster emotional balance, resilience, and connection.
