Getting to know Irina Strekalova

Hi there, I'm Irina! Hello, my name is Irina Strekalova, and I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (MFT) in a private practice in Arcadia, CA, working with clients statewide via telehealth. I hold a Master's degree in Educational Psychology from New York University. I work with adults and specialize in treating depression, trauma, anxiety, stress, life transition difficulties, and relationship problems using different approaches to help clients achieve their goals. My approach My approach is integrative and tailored to each individual. I have found that Cognitive Behavioral and Solution-Focused therapy, in conjunction with Mindfulness, Interpersonal Psychotherapy, EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), and TRM (Trauma Resiliency Model), work well for most people. My focus I assist clients through life transitions and challenges that lead to depression, anxiety, decreased self-confidence, relationship problems, or negative behaviors they would like to change. We will work together to figure out where you are now, where you want to be, and how you can get there. I provide childhood and relationship trauma treatment if necessary to help individuals process their past trauma and move forward in life. My communication style My communication style is culture-centered, empathetic, and nonjudgmental. My goal is to assist clients in developing skills and strategies they can use to bring positive changes in their life, to heal, and to find their strengths. I agree with the following statement: “Life isn't about finding yourself. Life is about creating yourself.” - George Bernard Shaw
