Intern
Hello! I’m Irina Kleinerman, a Clinical Mental Health Counseling intern at our Watertown clinic committed to creating a welcoming, supportive, and nonjudgmental space for clients. I work with individuals across the lifespan and believe that every person deserves to feel heard, understood, and respected. My approach is person-centered, collaborative, and strengths-based, and I incorporate evidence-based techniques, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), to help clients work toward their personal goals.
My goal is to meet you where you are and support you through whatever challenges or transitions you may be experiencing. Together, we’ll explore your thoughts, emotions, and experiences, develop practical coping skills, and identify your strengths to help you move toward greater well-being.
Taking the first step toward counseling can feel overwhelming, and you don’t have to have everything figured out before you begin. I am committed to providing a compassionate, respectful, and collaborative therapeutic relationship where you can feel supported throughout your journey. I look forward to working with you.
