Dmitriy Gutkovich

Dmitriy Gutkovich’s journey to help the millions of people who hear voices has led him to leadership roles in 4 nonprofits (including board membership with Hearing Voices Network USA), an advisory role for the Yale Cope Project, and to being a coach, facilitator, and advocate for the hearing voices community.

From a decade of lived experience and community involvement, Dmitriy has standardized a toolkit for how voice hearers can tell loved ones about the experience, untangle confusing beliefs, defeat hostile voices, and build a voice hearing experience that adds value to their lives. His concrete strategies have won high praise from those with lived experience, from their family members, from academics, and from medical providers.

“Dmitriy offers practical tools grounded in a compassionate and empowering framework. Dmitriy is a huge asset to mental health consumers seeking assistance outside of the biomedical model."

-Noah Phillips-LMSW and Peer Specialist

“Dmitriy is fantastic at explaining what living with voices is like. He was able to teach my team of mental health providers concrete interventions that they could use with their clients to come up with ways of making voice hearers’ experiences more positive and useful to them.”
