About Irene Ferguson, MA LPC

Welcome, I'm glad you found your way here.


I'm Irene Ferguson, a Licensed Professional Counselor with over twelve years of experience helping adults work through emotional wounds, break long-standing patterns, and feel like themselves again.


I believe therapy can do more than help you cope — it can actually change how you feel, not just how you understand yourself.


Through EMDR and a steady, attuned relationship with you, I help you work through what's stuck — not just at the level of thoughts, but in your body and nervous system, where a lot of this stuff actually lives.


My goal is simple: to help you find your way back to yourself — the version of you that existed before years of adapting, protecting, and just getting through things took over.


I work in a way that's warm, grounded, and deeply present. I pay close attention — not just to what you say, but to what's underneath it — and I trust that your body and mind already know a lot about what you need to heal, even before you can put it into words.


I've always been drawn to the deeper layers of what makes us human — how we heal, grow, and find our way back to ourselves. That curiosity, along with my own life experience, shapes how I show up with clients: I see you as a whole person with real capacity to heal, not a problem to be fixed.


I am also an LGBTQIA+ ally and wholeheartedly affirm all gender identities, sexual orientations, and relationship structures. My practice is rooted in warmth, openness, and respect for your lived experience.


Outside the therapy room, I'm a mother, stepmother, wife, nature lover, and avid reader. I bring my full, authentic self into this work, and I feel honored to walk alongside clients as they heal and find their way back to who they are.
