About Irwin

I am a licensed clinical social worker with over 20 years of experience working as a therapist for the GLBT community. I completed my BA in Psychology at Yale and my MSW at UConn. I am a Board Certified Diplomate in Clinical Social Work (the practice of psychotherapy). I am affiliated with the New Haven Gay and Lesbian Community Center and AIDS Project New Haven, 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 treat 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.

My office is located on the second floor of 357 Whitney Avenue, on the Whitney Avenue busline.
