Intern
InternHello! I’m Irina Kleinerman, a Clinical Mental Health Counseling intern at our Watertown clinic. I’m a graduate student in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and an intern at our Watertown clinic. I’m interested in working with clients across the lifespan who are navigating anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, and life transitions. My interests also include career-related concerns and questions about identity, meaning, and purpose.
My approach is person-centered, compassionate, collaborative, and culturally sensitive. I strive to create a supportive, nonjudgmental space where you feel heard and respected. My training has introduced me to CBT, DBT, mindfulness, and grounding techniques, which I continue to develop to support you while tailoring my approach to your needs.
You don’t need to have everything figured out before beginning counseling. Whether you’re facing a specific challenge, adjusting to change, or exploring what you want from life, I look forward to supporting you with openness, curiosity, and compassion.
