About IrwinI am a licensed clinical social worker with over 25 years of experience working as a therapist for the GLBT community. With a BA in Psychology from Yale and an MSW from UConn, I am a Board Certified Diplomate in Clinical Social Work (the practice of psychotherapy). My affiliations include the New Haven Pride Center, AIDS Project New Haven and the World Professional Association for Transgender Health, as well as national and state social work organizations. In 2000 I received a Community Service Award from the New Haven Gay and Lesbian Community Center. I provide psychotherapy for individuals, couples and families, using a solution-oriented approach.The solution-oriented approach to therapy begins with the identification of specific problems and goals. After examining the roots of these problems in recent events and early life history, we will focus mostly on your present-day efforts to resolve your problems and reach your goals. We will pay a great deal of attention to your interactions with others, as well as your thoughts and feelings about yourself. Changing problematic behaviors and addressing harmful thoughts and attitudes all contribute to successful therapy outcomes I can help you with stress, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, anger management, coming out difficulties, conflict in relationships, family problems, gender issues, and recovery from substance abuse.
