Dr. Nancy Irwin is a licensed clinical psychologist and highly sought-after addictions therapist and trauma expert. Originally from Atlanta where she trained as an opera singer, she moved to NYC to become a stand-up comedian, and then to Los Angeles in 1994 when she heard Hollywood needed more blondes. Dr. Irwin experienced an epiphany when she began volunteering for Children of the Night, a shelter for sexually abused children in Los Angeles. This experience awoke the healer in Dr. Irwin, prompting her to pursue a doctorate in psychology at California Southern University with a specialty focus on the prevention and healing of sexual abuse. Dr. Irwin is also a certified therapeutic hypnotist. Dr. Irwin is also the author of YOU-TURN: Changing Direction in Midlife (2008), a collection of “over 40 stories of people over 40” who made amazing transitions in midlife and has been featured in a wide variety of media outlets including national TV appearances on Anderson Cooper, Megyn Kelly, The Doctors, Nightline, and more. She is a member of the American Hypnosis Association, the California Coalition of Sexual Offenders, the Los Angeles County Psychological Association, and she is a Diplomate in the American Academy of experts in Traumatic Stress. Dr. Irwin has a private practice in West Los Angeles, and is also a clinical psychologist on staff at Seasons Recovery Center in Malibu.
