Meet Irene Dashiell

Getting to know your therapist is a bit like being Dorothy in the Wizard of Oz. You really want to know the man behind the curtain.
Allow me to hold the curtain aside for you.
I’m Irene and I was the kid who was quiet and did not want to be noticed by anyone. I felt so different from all the other kids at school. It was hard for me to connect with others and I felt sad about it.

Testimonials

Both of my kids have been seeing Irene for years. When Covid hit we switched to online counseling; it was a smooth and easy transition for them. Continuing their sessions was necessary and important. We have been doing them remote/online ever since. They absolutely love it!! It is easier to fit into our schedules, they can even have them when we are away, they still can have sessions when they aren’t feeling good. They love that they can sit in their rooms; talk, share and get support they need from someone they trust. Having counseling sessions this way has been wonderful for my kids and myself.
Parent of Teen Clients
Irene has worked with my teenage son over the course of the past several months. Her online system is easy to use and we felt she definitely helped our son with some anxiety and confidence issues he was having. He also really liked being able to attend counseling session with her from the comfort of his own bedroom with having to leave our house. We would not hesitate to recommend her anyone who is looking for help.

I love being able to talk to Ms. Dashiell! She helps me figure out what it is I’m trying to say and that sometimes it’s OK to feel the way that I feel. She is also very good at getting me back out of my head when I’m stuck in a bad place.
Young adult client
Irene was wonderful to work with. The accessibility of meeting online for my therapy sessions was incredibly helpful, especially with a busy schedule. It gave me the capability to balance school and work with time set aside for my mental health. Being online felt no different than being in person, as I was still able to speak to her face to face without a problem. I’d recommend teletherapy with Irene to anyone looking to improve their mental health, and therefore their quality of life.
Young adult client
My daughter was recently diagnosed with ADHD/anxiety so getting her out of the house to make appointments has always been a struggle. With Hope Begins Here psychotherapy’s telehealth sessions it is no longer a concern. We sit her down in front of our laptop a minute before her appointment and she’s ready to go. To be honest, my daughter is usually begging to sit down for her appointment because she can’t wait to see what activity Irene Dashiell has asked me to pull from her play therapy kit for that session. These play therapy kits are customized especially for my daughter’s needs/interests and include sensory toys and activities that not only aid in my daughter’s play therapy, but can also be used in between sessions as tools to calm and increase focus. The best part is they’re yours to keep and are refreshed every few months! On top of her amazing therapy kits, Irene’s nurturing/empathetic attitude will disarm even the most discerning child like my daughter. Her and Irene connected almost instantly and through that connection, Irene has helped my daughter build self-esteem, self-confidence, and self-awareness. Irene Dashiell is a wealth of knowledge and resources for children’s mental health and I would absolutely recommend her to any parent with a child in need of play therapy.
Parent of a young client
I have known Irene for 10+ years. I have nothing, but the upmost respect for Irene and love her dedication to her practice. She is down-to-earth and always willing to listen as well as offer helpful advice when desired or needed. I will never hesitate to refer her to anyone in need of services as she is (hands-down) the best!
