Getting to know Irene Thompson

Hi, I’m Irene Thompson and I’m looking forward to getting to know you. I’m a Licensed Mental Health Counselor working with couples, families and individuals struggling with relationship issues, trauma, and addiction.

What should a new client know about working with you?

I am trained in all three levels of The Gottman Method, a research-based couple’s therapy approach developed by world-renowned relationship experts, Doctors John and Julie Gottman - who have studied couples for 5 decades. The Gottman method provides an evidence-based framework focusing on strengthening relationships by improving communication, increasing emotional connection, and learning to manage conflict in healthy ways. Using the Gottman method, I am able to help couples understand one another more deeply; allowing them to effectively support each other while building a loving future together. Whether you’ve experienced a crisis in your relationship or just want to learn skills to deepen your connection and stop fighting, I can help you relate to each other, so you feel seen, heard and connected. I’m always on the side of the relationship and will work with you to build a path to a brighter future. Together, we can build a trusting environment for your relationship to thrive. I also work with families to build understanding, trust, and improve communication. By understanding their negative patterns and learning new ones, families can reduce conflict and misunderstanding. Allowing them to enjoy one another as families are meant to do.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

While my primary training is in the Gottman Method, I incorporate other evidence-based therapies based on your needs and goals, such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectic Behavior Therapy (DBT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), Solution Focused Therapy, Family and Systemic Therapy, and Mindfulness and Narrative Therapy. Each of us has our own perspectives on life, relationships and goals. Often, we come to therapy not understanding how these perspectives may be limiting our capacity to have healthier relationships, with others as well as ourselves. My goal is to help you see things from a new perspective so you can make meaningful positive changes in your life.
