Irene Maropakis LCAT, EMDR, CCATP,CSTIP, Somatic Parts Work Practitioner, Art Therapist,(She/Her)

Your emotions aren't inconveniences to manage—they're messengers carrying sacred information about your deepest needs. You've been told you're "too much" your whole life, but what if you're actually exactly enough? Your sensitivity isn't a bug; it's a feature that allows you to create, connect, and heal. You're tired of feeling broken when you're beautifully complex. You're ready to stop numbing and start listening to what your heart has been trying to tell you.

I specialize in helping highly sensitive creatives transform anxiety & depression into self-acceptance. Using Art Therapy, IFS Parts Work, EMDR & ACT, I'll offer gentle (but firm) nudges to explore whatever you're going through, at your pace, with the respect & sensitivity you deserve. I'm LGBTQIA+ affirming, spiritually affirming & trauma-informed.

As a first-gen Greek-American child of immigrants, HSP & bisexual woman, I've navigated depression, anxiety & disordered eating. This lived experience taught me radical self-acceptance—something I'm passionate about sharing. I provide the compassionate space you deserve. My goal is for you to be genuinely kind to yourself in an unkind world.
