Irene Kleban Psychotherapy Services

Description

The relationship that I develop with my clients is extremely important. The most important quality in our relationship is my ability to connect to the client in a genuine way. I am reliable, attentive, and emotionally responsive to client needs as we establish an emotional connection. It takes courage for people to seek therapy and challenge old beliefs, and acknowledge powerful, sometimes ugly, feelings. And it takes courage to trust in a process that cannot be seen or measured. In this relationship clients can be honest with me, share their darkest secrets, fears, and dreams without judgement. In turn, I try to be honest with them as I try to help them understand how their past issues are related to their current challenges.
My goal for all of my clients is to ease suffering, increase joy, and celebrate success; that means for them to have richer relationships and happier lives. Clients direct goals and each client journey is unique. I see my role of therapist as that of a guide and I try to help each client through his or her unique journey as we travel together through rough roads and smooth ones alike. I have learned, and continue to learn, many different kinds of therapies and relationship approaches. I have been trained in therapies that focus on more immediate results as well as therapies that may take clients longer to think about and put to use in their own lives. I am flexible, open to change, and try to adapt my therapeutic skills to the needs of my clients. I specialize in helping adults learn how to cope with a wide range of issues. These issues include trauma, attachment, dissociation, and anxiety difficulties.
