I highly recommend Irena! She is very kind, professional, and easy to talk to. I’ve had a great experience working with her.
Isabella F.
I started therapy almost a decade ago and have had at least 5 therapists before I started working with Irena, and by far, my therapeutic relationship with Irena is the best one I've experienced. Irena is very warm, kind, compassionate, and attentive. She is able to support me in my DBT work, and she also uses modalities such as mindful self-compassion and ACT therapy in her work with me. Working with Irena, I consistently feel seen and held, and I can tell that she makes a lot of effort to understand me and support me in my growth. In the past, working with other therapists, I often dreaded therapy sessions, but I can't say I've ever felt this way with Irena. In fact, I look forward to our sessions knowing that it's a space where I can find release and explore my perceptions, emotions, and thoughts with honesty and depth.

Remy D.
Irena is very kind and compassionate, while also being very professional. I appreciate her communication and how on top of her scheduling she is as a busy person myself! She has been a great help to me on my journey.
Gill K.
Irena is an engaging and thoughtful therapist who truly cares about you as a person as well as a client. She is welcoming, which makes it easy to feel comfortable and open up to her. She is a great listener and is flexible in allowing sessions to move in different directions as needed. When you’re unsure of what to say or don’t have all the answers, her high level of engagement helps guide the conversation into other meaningful areas you may not have considered. My lifestyle and self-perception have greatly improved because of my work with her!

Irena and I have recently met but so far she has been wonderful! Makes me feel heard and asks insightful questions to help me work through what I’m feeling. Very grateful for her and look forward to continuing with her!
Katherine M.
Irena continues to be an excellent therapist for me. She’s collaborative, responsive, and has a good sense of when to point out a potential problem vs. when to accept something as idiosyncratic. She introduces ideas I haven’t considered, and our sessions feel like actual problem solving. Highly recommend!
