Getting to know Irena Pergjika
**If you have out-of-network benefits and want to use them, I submit the claim to your insurance so you can get reimbursed.**
I am so happy you're here.
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in New York and New Jersey. I hold a Master's in Mental Health Counseling from Touro College and University System and a Bachelor's degree from City University of New York, Brooklyn College.
I have years of experience working in diverse areas of the mental health field and believe a strong connection between the body and mind is the foundation of all to come. My approach, though eclectic, primarily utilizes a Client-Centered Approach, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT).
I closely assess symptoms that cause emotional and physical discomfort and assist clients in clearly understanding their thought patterns, feelings, and behaviors. When working together, I will help you heal past trauma and experiences that cause anxiety, depression, and a variety of symptoms limiting you from living life to the fullest.
I am interested in the person as a whole and consider the mind, body, and spirit connection to increase awareness, insight, and understanding of the patient's view of self and the world. My goal is to create a safe, non-judgmental, and warm environment to promote open expression and self-discovery.

Being this is my first time doing any type of therapy i was a bit nervous and hesitant at first. Irena made things easy for me. She’s very professional but calming at the same time. She made me feel very welcomed. You can tell she cares about her patients well being. I look forward to moving forward. :) thank you again.

Irena was professional, compassionate and put me at ease immediately. She is an active listener and I really felt heard. Although she does not take my insurance I am willing to pay out of pocket as I feel I will get a lot out of our sessions together. I like her goal-oriented approach and am so glad I found a therapist that I clicked with.

Do not hesitate to book. Irena is very professional yet Warm and welcoming. Provides great feedback and we set small goals for me to work on between appointments. I already feel a difference in my life since starting sessions with her. Would not think twice about recommending her!! Book with her

I would highly recommend Ms. Irena. She makes you feel at ease in expressing yourself, emotions, thoughts. The sessions are very helpful and never monotonous. She helped me set my own goals and strive to achieve them.

Irena is extremely kind and understanding. From my first appointment alone, it is clear that she is eager to help and provide constructive yet insightful advice. I look forward to the rest of my appointments with her!

Oh, Irena is wonderful! Talking to her came incredibly seamlessly. I have no bad words whatsoever for her. She cares & opened my mind up to some things ... the right person at the right time. She was flat-out cool—and she made video conferencing seem natural, which I was initially apprehensive about. Her objectivity was refreshing.
Yeah, I have zero reason not to wholeheartedly recommend her counseling to others!
June 9, 2021Alexander F.Verified patientVideo visit
Irena was absolutely wonderful! She is a wonderful listener but also gives sound advice, guiding me through difficult situations. She is always right on-time and prepared for our appointments both in-person and via telehealth. She really helped me through a very difficult time and I highly recommend her to any of my friends who are interested in working with a mental health professional. Honestly, it's hard to find someone you click with, especially in the NYC area where there are so many options! Go ahead and book a session with Irena! You won't be disappointed.

Ms. Pergjika is a phenomenal therapist who truly has a gift for listening. When I was in session with her I felt seen and heard on levels that blew my expectations away. She is empathetic to my personal issues but also understands how me well enough that she knows when to push my boundaries. I have experienced so much personal growth under her counseling and would recommend her to a family member and any friend that is going through personal issues that need to be worked out. 10/10
