Getting to know Irene Syriac
Hi, I’m Irene! I’m passionate about creating a space where you feel safe, understood, and supported. Therapy is your time, and I want it to feel like a place where you can exhale and just be yourself.
I work with adults and families, with a special focus on survivors of domestic violence and members of South Asian communities. I understand how cultural values, generational differences, and family expectations can shape your experiences, and I’m here to help you navigate those complexities with care and compassion.
My approach is collaborative and flexible because therapy isn’t one-size-fits-all. I draw from evidence-based practices such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), trauma-informed care, and strengths-based approaches. Together, we’ll explore what’s been weighing you down, process difficult emotions, and build practical tools that fit your life.
Working with me feels like having a teammate in your corner. I’m warm, down-to-earth, and not afraid to sprinkle in a little humor when it helps. I’ll support you, challenge you when needed, and celebrate your progress along the way.
Whether you’re healing from past trauma, managing stress, or working toward deeper self-understanding, my goal is to help you feel empowered and hopeful about your future.
What should a new client know about working with you?
New clients should know that therapy with me is a space where you can truly be yourself. I prioritize creating an environment where you feel safe, understood, and supported.
I work with adults and families, and I have particular experience supporting survivors of domestic violence and members of South Asian communities. I recognize how culture, family expectations, and generational differences can influence your experiences, and we’ll approach those dynamics with care and respect.
My style is collaborative, flexible, and grounded in evidence-based practices. I’ll be in your corner — offering warmth, honest feedback when needed, and encouragement as you grow.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
Our work begins with understanding what has brought you to therapy and what you hope to gain from it. From there, we collaborate to explore the thoughts, emotions, and experiences that may be weighing on you.
I draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), trauma-informed care, and strengths-based approaches to help you process difficult emotions and develop practical tools that support your daily life. Sessions are tailored to your needs, whether we are addressing trauma, stress, cultural or family dynamics, or personal growth.
Throughout the process, I aim to create a supportive and empowering experience where you feel both challenged and encouraged as you move toward greater healing and hope.
