Irene Zhou, CIT

Irene Zhou, LGPC, provides an affirming environment and adaptive strategies tailored to her clients’ needs. If you are looking for a therapist who is authentic and practical, Irene may be an excellent fit. She approaches her clients with unconditional positive regard and draws on acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), psychodynamic therapy, and existential therapy. Her goal is to help clients better understand themselves and their circumstances so they can act in alignment with their values and goals. She acknowledges the suffering and brokenness in the world while seeking to encourage her clients and offer hope. Irene believes therapy can empower people to face challenges proactively and foster personal and relational growth.

Irene is a graduate of the Clinical Mental Health Counseling program at Johns Hopkins University. She is skilled in working with clients recovering from sexual, racial, and family-related trauma, grief, depression, chronic stress, and anxiety. Her clients’ ages range from 6 to 65 years old. Irene also excels in couples and family work, bringing keen observational skills, a deep understanding of relationship dynamics, and the ability to show clients how to communicate and connect in healthy ways.

Irene is interested in working with adults dealing with adverse childhood experiences, mood disorders, trauma, PTSD, suicidal ideation, relationship issues, and dysfunctional family dynamics. Beyond helping clients manage mental health symptoms, Irene seeks to guide her clients toward living with a strong sense of meaning and purpose, help them build a resilient, problem-solving mindset, and help them stay connected with their emotions and needs.
