Carley Irwin
MA, LPC
SHE/HER/HERS
Navigating life changes and relationship shifts can be overwhelming. I work with adults and couples facing anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, perfectionism, boundary challenges, attachment issues, and sexual concerns. I help clients gain clarity—whether that means redefining roles, improving communication, or building a stronger sense of self.
Using a psychodynamic approach and Internal Family Systems (IFS), we’ll explore how past experiences impact current patterns. Over time, you’ll better understand your internal conflicts, increase self-awareness, and foster more satisfying relationships.
I hold a graduate degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Kent State University and a Bachelor of Science in Psychology from Portland State University. I’ve also completed extensive training in sexual health through AASECT-recognized programs.
