Inna Zusman, LGPC, NCC
Bilingual (EN/RU) Couple & Family Therapist
Helping multicultural families reconnect
- across languages, cultures and emotions​​
Men I work with often say:
“She was warm and sexual when we met. After we moved in together, she barely touches me.”
“It feels like the only thing that matters is whether I’ll buy her a designer bag.”
“It’s been two years and she still doesn’t speak English — and I’m tired of translating life.”
“My kids feel the tension when she’s around… and she’s unhappy too.”​
If you’re nodding your head reading this — I hear you.
This is very common for English-speaking men in relationships with Russian-speaking women.
It’s not that she’s “using you” and you’re the victim.
It’s that you were raised with different expectations about love, security, closeness, and respect — and now you’re both reacting from your own world.
But if you’re here, it tells me something important:
you did connect on a deeper level. And that connection can come back — with the right guidance and structure.

I’m Inna Zusman — bilingual (EN/RU) relationship coach with clinical training (Licensed therapist in Maryland).
I specialize in Russian-English and cross-cultural couples — and I help men rebuild warmth, respect, and intimacy without blaming either partner.
