Irene Kraegel

When we're overwhelmed, the first step can be the hardest. If you are struggling with sadness, anxiety, grief, life transitions, or family difficulties (such as estrangement, chronic conflict, or parenting challenges), therapy can help you find relief from your suffering and live life with joy. You are valuable, and caring for yourself is worth it! With over two decades of experience, I am ready to support you in navigating the therapy journey, from that first step onwards. Blending compassionate support with evidence-based techniques, I will approach you as an individual, listening deeply to your life experience while offering the support and expertise you need to heal. You are not alone on this journey, and your mental health matters. As a doctoral-level psychologist, I have worked in inpatient, community mental health, and private practice settings. I currently serve as the director of a university counseling center and specialize in faith-based mindfulness. I love exploring the world through diverse perspectives - clients of all backgrounds and identities are welcome, and you can expect an empathic approach as we together explore your unique, challenging, and beautiful life experience. I am certified to offer Prepare/Enrich marriage prep for engaged couples, and I've completed training related to the service of military-connected individuals as well as the support of estranged family members. In addition to licensure in the state of Michigan, I am authorized to provide teletherapy in over 40 states (see PsyPact link below). Reach out today for a free 15-minute consultation to see if we might be a good fit for working together! *** For a direct link to my Psychology Today profile, including pictures of my office, please copy and paste the following URL into your browser: bit.ly/IreneKraegel For more information about my work with Christian mindfulness, please copy and paste the following URL into your browser: TheMindfulChristian.com For a list of PsyPact states where I am eligible to provide teletherapy, please copy and paste the following URL into your browser: https://psypact.org/mpage/psypactmap
