Welcome! I’m Dr. Silvina Irwin, a relationship and trauma recovery expert.
I am so glad you are here. I’m a clinical psychologist, speaker, educator, and ICEEFT Certified Trainer in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) based in the Los Angeles area. For the last 20 years, I have devoted myself to providing psychotherapy services to couples, individuals, and families. I also offer a range of workshops, trainings, and continuing education courses for mental health professionals, community groups, and individual clients. As a native Spanish speaker, I offer all services in both English and Spanish, and aspire to create an identity-affirming space for all.
Kintsugi is a centuries-old Japanese practice of repairing broken ceramics with gold lacquer. It’s also a beautiful metaphor for our own internal work. Learn more about the art of kintsugi and its history >
Leaning Into EFT Season 2
Welcome to the second season of “Leaning into EFT” where participants will get a front row seat observing live therapy sessions unfold with couples, individuals and families. Each episode will feature the work of a different supervisor or trainer, where the therapist will walk us through their session and note key choice points, interventions and share their process and reflections of the session. Purchase a season pass at any point or one episode at a time.

FROM RECENT COURSE AND TRAINING PARTICIPANTS:
“I very much appreciated how there was diversity in ethnicity/race and sexual orientation among individuals in the example videos shared, as well as among volunteers for the training. I can tell that diversity was intentionally considered for this training and the training materials, and this is one of the few times I've had such a positive and attentive experience like this.”
"I can only say the whole [training] experience was positive, enjoyable and well done. I will definitely recommend Silvina Irwin to anyone seeking any level of training in EFT."
“This training was absolutely incredible. Silvina and Michael were knowledgable, engaging, attentive, and kind. The community created throughout the four days nourished my soul, especially as a therapist currently working from home, which can be very isolating.”
