Description

Specialties

I utilize Dialectical, Cognitive, and Spiritual Psychotherapy in treating depression, anxiety, relationship issues, and borderline personality disorder. I also work extensively with low self-​esteem, codependency, and career challenges. I frequently incorporate Emotional Freedom Techniques and Psychological Kinesiology into counseling sessions for maximum effectiveness.

History

Established in 1993.

How Are You Doing?

* Do you feel like it’s hard to get up in the morning and face the day?

* Do you feel frustrated and sad over a relationship or a stalled career?

* Are your friends, family, or a loved one, trying to help but don’t really understand what you’re going through?

We all face challenges and problems throughout life that, at times, may prevent us from enjoying it to its fullest.

You may be experiencing despair, depression, anxiety, or doubts about yourself, your relationship, your career, or the general direction your life seems to be heading.

These feelings may be caused not only by what is happening at the moment, but also by all that has affected you over the course of your lifetime.

All of these experiences, problems, and challenges have led you to me and this website.

Where you’re supposed to be is in a state of joy and contentment, savoring each moment of life to its fullest.

Please allow me to help you down that path…

Sincerely,

Dr. Ilene Krems

Ilene is a great marriage counselor. She listened to our problems attentively and had my wife and I communicating more efficiently again. We are both very happy with her work. Her dog Strudel is awesome as well.
Highly recommended!

There are very few people who would freely admit that they need a shrink. But when your friends plot an intervention, therapy becomes a must. That was 15 years ago. Compliments about your outfit or your looks can fade but compliments about your character are everlasting. I am the woman I am today because of Ilene. And I freely admit that Ilene was and is exactly what I need. Ilene loves what she does and puts her soul into every session. You only get out of something what you put into it and with Ilene’s dedication to the power of internal healing, you WILL come out strong. As Ilene often says, «No one should go through life unsupervised.» I won’t go through any crisis in my life without Ilene.

I have known Ilene personally and as colleagues for over 20 years. She has a passion for clients and for helping people live life to the fullest. Ilene has the highest integrity. She is not judgmental and looks for the good in all people. Whenever we talk, she always has a new book or tool that she is using to help her clients. If you are looking for a therapist who truly cares with compassion and a very kind spirit, please think of Ilene. I think you will be glad that you did.

Finding a therapist you get along well with and can trust is pivotal for your journey to mental wellbeing. I’ve had good ones and not so good ones. It’s easy to lose motivation if it’s not a good fit which is why I’m grateful I found Ilene. She’s a gem. Her experience and wisdom makes it easy for me to feel understood when I unload on her but instead of just letting me vent she challenges me to view my circumstance from a different perspective and provides me with tools I can use to bring me more peace of mind.
She also shares a lot of different techniques, books, and exercises that have proven to be quite beneficial for me to manage my condition.
I have Borderline Personality Disorder and since I was diagnosed six years ago I’ve come to realize a lot of therapists don’t really care to treat people like me. It’s frustrating because my condition is actually curable and with her help I’ve been able to manage it. It just requires intense work both on my part and from my therapist. I commend Ilene for being amongst the very few that find value in working with people that suffer from BPD. She’s made an incredible difference in my life and even though sometimes I get frustrated and think to myself, «I don’t need therapy why am I having to spend the money, time, etc???» after each session I remember why. because I am invested in being the best version of me possible and because I want to enjoy fulfilling relationships and the best life has to offer.
Thank you Ilene for being a therapist with integrity and for sharing your wisdom whole heartedly with me. I appreciate your patience and sternness. You’ve helped me to calm the storm and to weather my emotions instead of letting them overcome me.

I’ve never had a therapist before so I was pretty apprehensive about it but Ilene made me feel very comfortable. I was struggling from anxiety which was escalating into panic attacks. The attacks got to be debilitating so I began to dread them which added to the cycle. Thank goodness for Ilene because she gave me tools I could use (anxiety never really go away) to curtail them from getting full blown. After a few months of therapy I was able to manage the attacks and now I can honestly say I have them under control. Ilene is super sweet and knowledgeable. She offers phones sessions which was really helpful too. I’m really grateful because it’s made a big difference in my quality of life. I’m so happy to be beyond all that!

Ilene is awesome. She introduced me to all of the great spiritual teachers: Byron Katie, Eckhart Tolle, Abraham-​Hicks, and A Course in Miracles. I can honestly talk to her about anything — career, relationships, stress/​anxiety, spirituality. She has helped me get through a breakup as well as strengthen my current relationship. She lets me talk as much as I need to and always has good, supportive advice. I moved away about 2 years ago and we still speak on the phone when I’m going through a tough time.
She has helped me immensely and I have a grown a lot thanks to her help. If you’re looking for guidance, deeper meaning, and peace, I highly recommend Ilene.
