Helping People Understand and Change What’s Not Working
Book AppointmentReal Help for What You’re Actually Dealing With
Welcome to Irvine Family Counseling! We are a caring team of therapists dedicated to helping you heal deep emotional wounds, strengthen relationships, and navigate life’s challenges with understanding, compassion, and genuine, lasting support.
We Build Independence
Emotional wounds and lingering trauma can hold you back. With our gentle guidance, we’ll help you rediscover inner strength, gain confidence, and foster lasting independence in your everyday life.
We Grow Minds
When unhealed trauma and anxiety cloud your thoughts, it’s hard to find a clear path forward. We recognize your need for change and offer practical tools, understanding, and proven strategies to help you reclaim mental stability.
We Support Hearts
Painful emotions can feel overwhelming. With empathy and skill, we guide you in understanding your feelings, helping you respond thoughtfully and restore comfort in relationships and daily life.
We Foster Spirits
Some challenges stem from emotional wounds, others have a spiritual core. We help you recognize the difference, ensuring each difficulty receives the proper kind of care, so genuine healing and deeper faith can emerge.
Our Approach
We don’t just focus on what’s happening on the surface. We help you understand what’s underneath it. The patterns. The reactions. The things that keep repeating. When you understand that, things start to change.
When Did We Open our Practice?
Irvine Family Counseling was started in 2017 and has been growing ever since. Truly a lifetime in the making, Irvine Family Counseling is the product, and the epitome, of a great labor of love underneath extensive educational pursuits extending back 10 years.
We attribute our growth to a variety of factors:
The immediate support and practical feedback we give.
Our reputation, which we work hard to earn through word-of-mouth referrals.
Our trustworthiness, demonstrated through our embodiment of Catholic/ Christian ideals
Our ability to listen to our clients on multiple levels, both to what is said and not said.
Our flexibility with busy schedules, and our comfortably furnished, accessible offices (that helps!)
“We began with a vision to create a world where individuals conquer their mental health, couples form unbreakable bonds, and families live peacefully together.”
Why Did We Open our Practice?
We care about the millions of people in the U.S. who are affected by mental illness each year:
- We have conducted over 15,000 appointments in the last 5 years
- We have been in business for over 8 years
- Collectively, we have treated over 250 mental health conditions
“We want to help people create real change, not just talk about problems.”

Our relationship will benefit you
Personalized, one-on-one therapy designed to address your unique challenges. Whether dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma, or life transitions, we provide a safe space for healing and personal growth.
We do not further our own interests
Our professional relationship with you is not an opportunity to exert our own influence. We monitor our effectiveness and take steps to improve when necessary.
We stay in our lane of competence
We do not assess, test, or diagnose, treat, or advise on problems beyond the level of my competence as determined by our education, training, and experience.
We respect your autonomy
We respect your choices and work jointly with you to develop and review treatment plans that are consistent with your goals.
We do not abandon you
We terminate with you using sound clinical judgment and in an appropriate manner by assisting you with making reasonable arrangements for your continued treatment.
We document responsibly
We record significant and appropriate information and respect your right to access your treatment records
We don’t take advantage of your finances
We offer flat rates regardless of socioeconomic status and may offer financial accommodations based on need.
We consult and refer when necessary
Using non-identifying information to protect our client’s privacy, we do this to improve our skills when it will benefit our work with our clients.
We stay current with the research
We stay abreast of changes within the field, maintain relevant standards of scholarship, and present accurate information.
We defend you
When appropriate we advocate for your mental health care and will challenge denials of care, or denials of payment for your care, by insurers.
We keep our therapy private
Your personal experiences do not belong to us. If we have to share your experiences with a third party, we will inform you of the extent and limits of what is shared.
We take our therapy hat off sometimes
Sometimes we disclose personal information honestly and in ways that you can best understand which are not for reasons of our personal interest or gain.
