Irene Ugurlu

I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Idaho and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Washington. My approach to therapy is grounded in the belief that you are the expert on your own life. Sometimes, though, we all need a supportive space, a different perspective, or new skills to help us move forward.

My style is warm, collaborative, and eclectic, drawing from approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and person-centered therapy. I want to help you better understand yourself, build practical tools, and develop the confidence to navigate life in the way you want to live.

My graduate training at the University of Idaho combined mental health and rehabilitation counseling, with a strong emphasis on diversity, disability, and understanding people within the context of their individual experiences. I’ve worked across community mental health, school counseling, state vocational rehabilitation, and group practice settings, which has given me experience working with people from a wide range of backgrounds and stages of life.

Above all, I want therapy to feel like a place where you can be genuinely yourself, while also being supported and challenged in ways that help you create meaningful, lasting change.
