Irene Zhou, counselor-in-training, provides an affirming environment and adaptive strategies for her clients. She treats clients with unconditional positive regard, and her theoretical approach is a combination of acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), psychodynamic therapy, and existential therapy. Irene’s goal is to help clients understand their circumstances and themselves better, and act in accordance with their values and goals. She wants to encourage and bring hope. Irene believes therapy can empower people to confront their challenges proactively and promote personal and relational growth.
Irene has experience working with clients recovering from sexual, racial, and family-related trauma, grief, depression, chronic stress, and anxiety. She has also worked with clients on their relationships, such as romantic relationships and parent-child relationships.
Irene is excited to help people with adverse childhood experiences, mood disorders, trauma, PTSD, suicidal ideation, relationship issues, and dysfunctional families. She wants to guide her clients toward living with a strong sense of meaning and purpose, help them build a resilient, problem-solving mindset, and stay in touch with their emotions and needs.

I work with clients who may be struggling with various mental health or life and relationship issues. During our initial sessions, we will delve deeply into the issues at hand, and collaborate to create a plan for addressing them in a way that helps you get your life back. Most of my clients see a gradual lifting of symptoms within the first month and sustained improvement thereafter.
