IRENE NUNEZ, LCSW, PMH-C (SHE, HER)

Hi! I believe we all have unique stories and healing paths. I would be honored to be invited to provide you with a welcoming place to tell your story and to be a part of your healing journey. I have so much admiration and gratitude for you and your willingness to begin your healing. 

My focus is to help women who are cycle breakers to begin their healing journey, energize, reprocess traumatic events, break patterns of intergenerational trauma, connect with their inner child/inner ancestor and become aware of their inner warrior strengths. These populations include and are not limited to: tweens, adolescents, young professionals, mother's and other therapists.

One of my unique specialties is working with mommas in various stages of motherhood: infertility, perinatal, pregnancy, postpartum and beyond. I have years of experience working with BIPOC and LGBTQIA+ parents and parents to be in the perinatal period.  My focus is to help the mommas I work with identify how past childhood or early adulthood trauma wounds are resurfacing during all stages of motherhood. I help moms learn how to reparent themselves as they are navigating parenthood by empowering them to recognize they are the cycle breakers in their families and for future generations to come. 

I integrate the use of EMDR, Brainspotting, Attachment Trauma work, Ego States (parts work), Somatic Experiencing, music, dance and inner child healing.

In addition, I have extensive experience conducting Immigration Psychological Evaluations for T-visa, U-visa, VAWA , Hardship Waivers, and Asylum cases. My approach is comprehensive, culturally sensitive, and trauma-informed, ensuring that each evaluation reflects the unique experiences and challenges of my clients.

In addition, I am trained in Usui Holy Fire Reiki Levels 1 & 2. As I work from a holistic approach, I believe all forms of healing are beneficial for the healing journey. I currently offer in person Reiki Sessions as well as Sound Bath healing sessions separate from psychotherapy sessions. Please see "offerings" tab for further details. *Disclaimer Reiki and Sound Bath are not to replace psychotherapy. They are separate from psychotherapy.
