About Us
Beacon Psychotherapy was established with the belief that everyone deserves access to high quality mental healthcare.
Founded by Jack Irmas, LCSW, our practice evolved from a single office space in Beverly Hills, California. There, Jack recognized a significant gap in the availability of collaborative, high-quality care that has the potential to profoundly impact people's lives, and he committed to turning that vision into reality.
A native of Los Angeles, Jack encountered many people who were seeking solutions to some of life’s biggest challenges: how to feel good about themselves, how to maintain happy and healthy relationships, and how to thrive both at work and at home. Often, these seekers found themselves coming up empty-handed.
What was needed wasn't a novel approach with empty promises, but rather a reimagining of something already proven to be effective: high-quality therapy provided by dedicated, skilled therapists working together as a team to help everyone we touch live more fulfilling and joyous lives. For counseling in the Beverly Hills area of Los Angeles, and online throughout California our team is committed to offering exceptional support and guidance.
Just as we are dedicated to our clients' growth, we are equally committed to our own. This allows us to continually enhance the quality of our care, extend our reach, and ensure that our high standards of therapy benefit an ever-expanding community.
At Beacon Psychotherapy, we are dedicated to delivering collaborative and compassionate care. Our team of experienced therapists works together to provide personalized support, ensuring that each client receives the focused attention and effective treatment they need to enhance their lives.
