Testimonials – Touchstone Psychology

I highly recommend Irina as a supervisor! She is such an expert in EFT and has an incredibly compassionate and thoughtful way of conceptualizing couples and their difficulties. She helped me to learn non-judgmental and empathic language to use while navigating difficult and tricky conflicts between couples. Irina helped me to speak freely about my difficulties and the moments I felt I hadn’t succeeded as a therapist. I never felt judged. Irina also assisted me in continuing to learn an anti-racist lens, including how to consider and work with layers of identity in the room. With Irina’s supervision, I gained certification as an EFT therapist in one year. Her humanity and ability to attune as a supervisor inspired me to feel supported and effective as a therapist.

Dr. Wen supervised me throughout my entire Post Doctoral Fellowship at NYU's Military Family Clinic. It was through her supervision and guidance that I discovered my love for EFT and developed my confidence as an EFT therapist. Not only did Dr. Wen provide wonderful training in EFT, she also heavily incorporated education focused on being an Anti-Racist and bringing cultural sensitivity into the therapy and supervision space. Dr. Wen is a spectacular supervisor and I am so grateful for my time working with her.

Irina was my clinical supervisor during my post-doctoral fellowship at NYU's Military Family Center. I experienced her as a warm, empathic, and curious mentor who mastered the balance of supporting me while also encouraging me to step outside of my comfort zone. Supervision was a safe space where I was able to work through complicated situations while also honoring my own experience as a human being. Based on my work with Irina I have dedicated a large part of my practice to couple's therapy. She has been a fundamental figure in my training and I will be forever grateful for her support and guidance.

I was fortunate to have Dr. Wen's expert guidance and supervision in the final year of my training during my postdoctoral fellowship at NYU Langone's Military Family Center. Dr. Wen has a warm and authentic style and consistently encouraged me to trust my clinical instincts while supporting my growth and learning as a therapist to both individuals and couples. Our conversations were always both deeply informative and inspiring, and I would consistently leave supervision with new ideas, questions, and perspectives on both my patients’ experiences and my own self as a therapist. Dr. Wen’s supervision was particularly invaluable for me in entering the world of EFT for couples. I am so grateful to have had the chance to learn from her expertise in attachment theory and the treatment of complex couples with histories of trauma. Dr. Wen is passionate about supervision and teaching, and models a style of being that infuses even the most challenging clinical moments with humanity, humor, and curiosity.
