Hey, I’m Jenya Alexander. Once upon a time, my exes used to cry to me — for free. About work, about their wives, about life falling apart… And one day I thought: Why am I doing this for free when I could do it professionally — and get paid for it? Now I’m a certified coach and therapist. And yes — I officially listen to men cry. No shame. No judgment. Just space to let it out. Whether it’s about your business partner, your ex, your marriage, your father, or even the government — I’m here for it. Crying is not weakness. It’s release. It’s power. It’s healing. And it fits perfectly into a standard video session: 50 minutes, a calm space, and a small fee. You can book through WhatsApp, Telegram, or any messenger you prefer. If you — or your friend — need to cry it out, I’m here to listen. No fixing. No preaching. Just presence. Tissues included.
