Oksana Lang
Gestalt Psychotherapist
Member of Estonian Gestalt Psychotherapists Association
I am offering psychotherapy and counselling:
- Onsite in Tallinn, Estonia
- Online via video-call apps
- Languages: English, Estonian, Ukrainian
I am happy to help with depression, burnout, life changes adaptation, work and personal relationships, and general life satisfaction.
About me
My journey with mental health topics started in 2018 when I was diagnosed with clinical depression. The main trigger was becoming a mother of two and the challenges of the postpartum period when the feeling of control over my life was lost. Gestalt psychotherapy, along with medical treatment, helped me to fully recover from depression and find the light in my life again.
I am Ukrainian, and I relocated to Estonia in 2011. I have a B2 language proficiency in the Estonian language. I have been married for over 10 years now, and am a mother to an 10-years-old daughter and a 7-years-old son.
My first professional qualification is Software Engineering, and I work full-time as a Strategist.
In my free time, I visit the gym, play ukulele in an orchestra, enjoy reading fiction books, and grow flowers in my garden in Tallinn suburbs.

The first step towards recovering is allowing yourself to Feel It
What is Gestalt?
“Gestalt therapists believe that people potentially have all the necessary abilities to solve their problems or face their difficulties.”
Phil Jouce and Charlotte Sills
Sometimes, life circumstances and personal history cause us to choose behaviors that feel safe for the moment but far from happiness. Gestalt techniques help to uncover the true needs of the human being and help build fulfilling relationships.
Clients feedback
“Oksana ja Reelika tõid mu ellu kõige raskemal ajal nii palju uut hingamist. Ma sain neilt ja tugigrupilt uued oskused, mida rakendan oma igapäevaelus. Mu suhtlus sõprade ja perega ning eelkõige iseendaga on olulisel määral paranenud. Tänasel päevalgi suudan mingeid emotsioone palju paremini mõtestada ja lasta neil olla, nagu nad on. Eks veel ole palju tööd ja iseenda tundma õppimist aga tunnen, et tänu teile poleks seda kunagi nii kiirelt ja edukalt juhtunud. Siiralt ja südamest aitäh, te muutsite mu elu.”, – Ärevuse grupi osaleja K.
“I’m immensely grateful for Oksana for creating this group, inspiring openness and thereby encouraging everybody to have a very comfortable and trusting environment.
On the other hand, Oksana, your personal approach to each group member was just fantastic. I felt supported and understood every time, all the time. All the exercises were applicable, practical and useful.
Group members were very supportive and understanding, often could relate to each others’ experiences and thoughts – thus having some validation that I’m not alone in this.”, – Burnout in IT group participant M.
