Written on Mar 27, 2024 after therapy with Irina for 10 months on issues concerning relationship

Irene is able to get through to my husband and I in a very relatable way. I feel culturally she is able to identify with my husbands upbringing in a way that I am not always able to. Whether it’s work kids or marriage, I like that she is able to cut thru the layers and identify the source of the problems. She offers solutions that work, if applied. She is blunt which works for us! I trust her advice. I have been thru counseling/counselors in my life. The beauty of seeking professional help is that you can choose your therapist. I would recommend her to anyone who wants a no nonsense professional and some great simple solutions that truly work

Irina is a great listener, who has unique insights into what you have told her. She is wonderful at helping me see things through a more realistic lens. Although, I have to say my favorite thing about Irina is that she gives it to me straight. I'm tired of working with people who dance around things, and Irina doesn't. I give her my highest recommendation.
