I'm Dr. Iryna Krotava, a licensed clinical psychologist. I specialize on relationship problems, depression, anxiety, grief, trauma, sexuality, life transitions, and multicultural issues.

As a mental health counselor, I believe that everyone’s path toward wellness is unique. I’m passionate about helping people discover their own sense of balance and fulfillment, no matter where they are on their journey. Clients often describe me as compassionate, empathetic, and easy to connect with. I approach each person with genuine curiosity and respect, creating a space where you can feel seen, understood, and supported. My goal is to empower you to build confidence, strengthen coping skills, and move toward your optimal level of well-being.

As a humanist, I believe in the inherent worth to every single human being. I am guided by the ethos of a journey of a thousand miles begins with the first step, and it is with each movement that we get closer to where we want to be. Through intentional effort we encounter change, embrace healing, and a foster a fruitful fulfilling life.

I’m a Clinical Social Worker and Reiki Master/Teacher with 20+ years of experience committed to helping you explore pathways to attaining balance and well-being. I focus on providing a non-judgmental, warm, and safe space to process life experiences. I'm passionate about helping you feel heard and seen, while empowering you to identify and express yourself in ways that attune with your life goals.

Our life experiences affect all of us in unique ways. Many people struggle to integrate what has happened to them in a way that allows them to feel comfortable in their own bodies and have meaningful relationships with others. If you feel stuck with overwhelming emotions or unhelpful patterns, we can work together to get you unstuck.

Whether you are dealing with trauma, depression, anxiety, grief, couples issues, or addiction; I can help. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 25 years of experience helping people. I have worked professionally in outpatient behavioral health settings, residential treatment centers, and Hospice. Additionally, I have trained hundreds of other professionals to assist people with their mental health needs.

I have a great deal of experience in trauma informed approaches, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Psychodynamic Psychotherapy, and other modalities. I am trained in EMDR; and my recent professional interests include Internal Family Systems and Somatic Experiencing. Life is not one size fits all and neither is effective treatment. Together we will find the right approach for you. I am looking forward to working with you to help you achieve your goals and become a happier, more fulfilled person!

Welcome! I am a seasoned therapist who can offer practical and compassionate assistance to you on your life journey. Together we can create a space for you to heal and grow stronger and more resilient.
