Irene Han, MSW Supervisee in Social Work
Hi, I'm Irene!
Life is full of transitions, and at any age those transitions can feel overwhelming, confusing, or emotionally intense. My goal is to provide a supportive, collaborative space where you feel heard, understood, and empowered to make meaningful, lasting change. I believe each person brings inherent strengths and resilience, and therapy is a place where those qualities can be strengthened and made more accessible in daily life.
My clinical approach is grounded in evidence-based modalities, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which I integrate flexibly based on each client’s needs. I also incorporate Shame-Informed Therapy and Polyvagal Theory to support emotional regulation, nervous system awareness, and a deeper understanding of stress responses. My work is trauma-informed while remaining skills-focused and action-oriented, with an emphasis on helping clients build practical tools they can carry into their daily lives. In addition, I am trained in play therapy and sand tray techniques, which I draw from when clinically appropriate to support expressive and experiential processing, particularly with children and adolescents. I work with children ages 8 and older, adolescents, college students, and adults. I take a collaborative approach with all clients and, when working with children and adolescents, I also engage parents as active partners in the therapeutic process. I believe that meaningful change is most sustainable when it is supported across environments, and I work to strengthen communication, consistency, and emotional understanding within the broader system surrounding the client. Whether supporting a child navigating school-related stress, a teen working through anxiety or emotional regulation challenges, or an adult managing life transitions and relational concerns, I tailor treatment to the individual while keeping therapy practical, collaborative, and goal-oriented. Beginning therapy can feel like a big step, especially if you are not sure what to expect. I strive to create a space where you feel genuinely supported and understood, and where we can work together toward clarity, connection, and growth. I currently offer both in-person and telehealth sessions to provide flexible options that meet your needs.
