- CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy)
- REBT (Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy)
- ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy)
- IFS (Internal Family Systems)
- Gestalt

Dr. Irwin will explain each of these modalities as part of the intake to determine your best treatment plan. She provides psychotherapy (talk therapy) services for adolescents, adults, and couples in person, via phone, or via Zoom.
Take the plunge to explore your unconscious mind to make positive shifts in your life. She offers a free 30-minute phone consultation to answer any questions. Please get in touch today.
Rates are $300 for the initial 90-minute intake, and subsequent sessions are $250 for 60 minutes. Dr. Irwin does not accept insurance; however, she will be happy to provide you with a Superbill to file a claim for reimbursement.
Twenty-four hours are required to postpone or reschedule any appointment so that someone else can have that time slot. A credit card will be required to hold an appointment. Your card will only be billed if you do not show up or give 24 hours notice. Thank you for respecting this policy.
Dr Irwin accepts Venmo, Zelle, PayPal, checks and cash as well.
Dr. Irwin sees two clients a week at a sliding scale rate for the military, teachers, law enforcement, the unemployed, and otherwise financially challenged. Please call to inquire about openings or be put on the waiting list.
Dr. Irwin makes house (or office, studio, or location) calls to those who need the utmost privacy or are physically challenged. Travel time is prorated and billed at the normal in-office rate. When booking such a session, please arrange a quiet area with a sofa or a recliner. Also, ensure you can “turn the volume down” on children, dogs, and all ambient noise. It is also best to be able to dim the lights for maximum effectiveness. Please get in touch with any questions, Dr. Irwin offers a free 30-minute phone consultation.

After you spoke to us, two students contacted our school nurse about their being sexually abused. Thanks to you, they were able to start on the path to recovery. I just wanted to let you know that what you do is important.

D. M. - Trainer/Wellness Consultant, OjaiI achieved INCREDIBLE results with Dr. Irwin, and I think she is outstanding. I, probably like many people, was very skeptical about hypnotherapy before my session with Dr. Irwin but I decided to give it a try because all of the other habit-breaking methods/groups that I had tried did not work at all for me. Dr. Irwin records your sessions so that you can listen them over and over to reinforce the positive messages. I could not recommend anyone higher and am very grateful that a friend recommended her to me.

I’ve been very lucky in the PGA, but had not won a major title in several years. Hypnosis helped me win a big one again before retiring. Thanks, Dr. Nancy!
