Hope Begins Here Psychotherapy, Irene Dashiell, LCSW. Fonder & CEO - Online Counseling Practice

“Irene is a wonderful person who has made steps to make my daughter comfortable and willing to talk to her. My daughter suffers from anxiety & anger issues. Irene has been a blessing- she is able to connect with my daughter from the comfort of our home while maintaining the environment of a therapy session. My daughter looks forward to her sessions as do I. Irene is very supportive in our journey and figuring out what works best for our family. I would highly recommend!!”

“Irene has worked with our teenage son over the course of the past couple of months. Her online therapy system is very easy to use and we felt that she definitely helped our son with some anxiety and confidence issues he was having. He also really liked that he was able to attend his sessions with her from the comfort of his own room without leaving our house. We would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for help.”

“Both of my kids have been seeing Irene for years. When Covid hit and we switched to online counseling; it was a smooth and easy transition for them. Continuing their sessions was extremely necessary and important. We have been doing them remote/online ever since. They absolute love it!! It is easier for us to fit it into our schedule, they are able to have their sessions even when we are away, they can still have sessions when they aren't feeling good. They love that they can sit in their rooms; talk, share and get the support they need from someone they trust. Having counseling session this way has been wonderful for my kids & myself.”

“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. Her 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.”
