Irene Blum Vergara, Life Coach

At Plural Minds, we are a collective of individuals dedicated to transforming past pain into present power. Our mission is to support those navigating the challenges of trauma, substance use, dissociative disorders, and mental health struggles through diverse, compassionate pathways.
We offer peer-informed support in both individual and group settings, helping people cultivate fulfilling lives beyond their past experiences. In addition to direct support, we lead collaborative community initiatives designed to dismantle the stigma surrounding mental health. Through advocacy, public speaking, and educational campaigns, we champion the idea that lived experience is a vital form of expertise.
Our life coaching practice is built on authenticity. Every coach at Plural Minds has personally navigated the complexities of trauma and is currently thriving in their own journeys of recovery. Tyler, Irene, and Grace have each transitioned from a state of survival to a life of stability and deep purpose. We want to help you reach that same standard of thriving, where you are no longer just existing, but truly living.
We recognize that healing is not a linear path; it is a cyclical, evolving rhythm. Our team values transparency and accountability, acknowledging that we all face hurdles and make mistakes. We actively reject toxic positivity, choosing instead to view setbacks as essential learning opportunities. We are constantly striving for growth, both for ourselves and for those we serve.
The core principles that direct our own lives—curiosity, responsibility, and adaptability—are the very foundation of our coaching approach.
Having been at rock bottom, we now lead lives full of meaning. We are committed to providing a safe, non-judgmental space where you can build the tools and confidence to move forward. Growth is a continuous journey, and we are here to support you every step of the way as you rise upward.
