“Dr. Irene,” author of the archived  Dr. Irene’s Verbal Abuse (Site)! offers over 30 years of post- doctoral clinical experience in the evidenced-based, behavioral practice of clinical psychology. 

Greetings, and thank you for visiting my pages. I specialize in treating individuals, couples, and families who are struggling with verbal and emotional abuse issues. Trauma informed treatment addresses C-PTSD, PTSD, codependency, anger management, “love addiction,” mood disorders, etc. I will work with you remotely via secure video connection or telephone. Most often I work with people whose partner’s actions are motivated by narcissistic or sociopathic behavior. In addition, I treat depression, bipolar, panic and anxiety, stress, marital/relational, and general psychological problems. Extensive research demonstrates the effectiveness of “evidence-based” approaches to psychotherapy. My goal is to help you be where you want to be – and be in control of your life. You will learn to:

• Direct your life in accordance with the values you cherish.
• Run your life, rather than let life run you.
• Recognize that you are the only one who controls you!

I will meet you where you are in life, and, if you agree, help you attain empowerment skills. Three concepts will guide our work:

• Mindfulness
• Acceptance
• Self-control

Warmly, Dr. Irene
