Birey Counseling Review
Based out of St. Petersburg, Florida, Birey Counseling is an outpatient-based facility providing individualized counseling to clients struggling with addiction and co-occurring disorders. The organization is essentially the private practice of Irmak Birey, a PhD-level counselor with more than eight years of experience. All treatment plans are individualized and offer a varied approach to therapy.
Treatment and Staff
Before each program begins, clients go through an initial assessment to determine their needs and develop their care plans. Though on-site detox is not available, those in need can get referrals to nearby programs as necessary. Once stabilized, clients begin a counseling regimen based primarily on individual therapy, though group therapy is available as well. Treatment approaches include evidence-based methods like CBT, DBT and Motivational Enhancement Therapy (MET). Still, Birey takes an eclectic approach with additional therapies such as Gestalt and Existential Therapy also provided. Trauma-informed care and dual diagnosis support services are also facilitated. While 12-step participation is not always required, it may be encouraged in some cases.
As mentioned, the staff at Birey Counseling consists primarily of Birey herself, who holds a PhD and is also an LMHC and a Nationally Certified Counselor (NCC).
Extras
Birey Counseling is open to children, adults, adolescents and families alike. Support for eating disorders, grief, social skills and gender dysphoria are all available as well. Standalone psychological assessments and video counseling are also offered in addition to couples and family therapy sessions. Finally, those who complete a care plan can also work with Birey to step down their care as necessary.
In Summary
Overall, Birey Counseling provides an intimate and personal approach to mental health care through its individualized care plans. Treatment consists of evidence-based treatment and holistic approaches with support for a wide range of mental illnesses and behavioral health issues. While those seeking medical support or more comprehensive care may need to seek additional help elsewhere, Birey Counseling remains a strong and affordable resource for those in the area.
