I was trained in the Strengths-Based model of social work.

Do you find yourself having a difficult time coping with anxiety, depression, and trauma? Do you have a hard time communicating and setting boundaries with others? Life is full of obstacles and hardships that may be difficult to overcome without the right tools, resources, and, guidance leading to the manifestation of these symptoms. I specialize in working with adults, couples, and adolescents using a Psychodynamic approach to explore unconscious thoughts and behaviors. In doing this, we are able to collaboratively recognize old ineffective patterns and process unresolved feelings and trauma.

I am all about developing peace and joy in life, but that can seem beyond reach when you're going through difficult times. Current stressors could affect your sense of wellbeing. If you are dealing with depression, anxiety, addiction, or some other discomfort, there might be underlying issues and remote memories, triggering you. Your relationship or career could be affected and you might be ready to do something about it. If you need to move on from problematic childhood events or heal unprocessed trauma, psychotherapy can offer relief and a (much) better life quality.

Hello, my name is Miriam, but I go by Mim. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who was trained and received my master's in science of social work at Columbia University in New York City in 2006. I believe therapy can offer clients with a mental illness or who face struggles common to the human experience a chance to live a more meaningful and fulfilling life. I feel honored to be with my clients on their journey of healing and self-discovery. Clients can expect the first few sessions to involve an evaluation of their needs. A discussion will occur regarding the risks and benefits of therapy, confidentiality, and treatment goals.

Have you felt misdiagnosed and misunderstood? Have you ever wanted clarification on your diagnosis? Sometimes psychological/neuropsychological evaluation can help to elucidate your psychiatric problems and provide illuminating recommendations toward recovery. An objective assessment looking at your whole being and context can be your next step. I do provide therapy services but specialize in neuropsychological/psychological evaluations.

How you feel towards yourself can profoundly impact your relationships, work, school, and more. And a lot can make it hard to feel your best. You might be: Exhausted by a relentless self-critical voice...Considering your next steps to feel authentically aligned with your gender and sexuality...Struggling with boundaries and people-pleasing... Stressed and stuck in your closest relationships...Curious about non-monogamy but unsure where to start...Looking for nonjudgmental guidance navigating dynamics within polyamory and kink — not to mention managing all of this under capitalism. No wonder you'd like support!

Life can feel impossible to avoid struggling and we often don't feel we have the skills to cope successfully through. Unfortunately, sometimes we don't have all the resources we need for a given situation. Parts of us take on desperate roles trying to help us to survive. This might look like anxiety, depression, PTSD, addiction, and relationship/family issues. I aim to help you process unresolved issues and feelings and find solutions.

Hi, my name is Desirae Giraldes and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I have worked in communities throughout my career in a variety of settings and areas but my focus is working in the area of Mental Health. I love the mental health field and have worked in this area for over 25 years. While I love working with each of my clients who bring an individual experience to work through, I especially love working in the area of depression, anxiety and codependency.

The experiences and interactions we have throughout our lifetime can have an impact on our well-being, thoughts, emotions, relationships and decision making. As we begin to understand our thoughts, emotions and behaviors we may be able to face life challenges in more effective ways. At times, attempting to understand ourselves without any support can feel confusing or exhausting. In therapy sessions I will provide you with support in a collaborative and safe space as you discuss past challenges or current stressors. Sessions are individually tailored to meet your therapy goals.

Has trauma, anxiety, or depression interfered with the potential to become the best version of yourself? We often feel defined by traumatic or emotionally difficult experiences then often leave us feeling stuck in place rather than moving forward towards our goals. I’m here to provide a safe, affirming space for you to develop an understanding of yourself to overcome past experiences or fears that define you. Our work together will be met with unconditional acceptance, creative approaches, and the utmost compassion.

I truly believe that a successful and therapeutic relationship happens when therapist and client join to work toward achieving goals together. Through the use of cognitive behavioral techniques, a strengths-based approach, and unconditional positive regard for you, we will uncover connections, gain understanding, and learn new skills to manage from day to day while achieving the results that will help you to be a better and happier you.
