Irina Sarkissian

My communication style

Honest, direct, and authentic. You'll always know where you stand, and we won't waste time circling around the real issues. That said, warmth and humor are also part of the process—therapy doesn't have to be so heavy all the time, and it helps me see a different layer of you.

My journey to mental healthcare

Before becoming a therapist, I spent the first half of my life as a classical musician. While in search of balance and self-actualization I decided to add a second diverse career path. I fell in love with psychology and immersed myself in it, eventually leading to this second, yet equally wonderful career.

My goals for you

Therapy is a collaborative process. We start with what matters most to you. Goals in therapy aren't set in stone—they evolve as you do. We'll check in, adjust, and make sure what we're working on feels useful.

Our first session

A safe space with no judgment. We'll get straight to what's bringing you in, and I'll listen—really listen. The goal is to understand where you're coming from, how I can help, and start building something meaningful from there.
