Report
Dr. Irena is so kind and genuine. She is one of those people that you meet and you immediately feel comfortable. I can speak to her infertility therapy, and there is something about her that made me feel so welcome and supported. I loved Dr. Irena and recommend her to anyone who is struggling with the challenges of infertility or IVF treatment.

My partner and I saw Dr. Irena in The Woodlands, then again when we moved to Houston. She really helped us through tough times and now we are still happily married after 23 years!

Report
Dr. Irena came at the recommendation of a trusted colleague. I could not have asked for a better person to guide my husband and I through some of the most difficult times in our marriage and journey as new parents. She is flexible, attentive, and her approach with emotion focused therapy is invaluable. I would absolutely recommend her to my closest friends, family members, and colleagues.
