I am Mira Iheme, Ph.D., a doctoral-level clinician with over 20 years of experience providing psychotherapy to individuals from diverse cultural and socioeconomic backgrounds. Throughout my career, I have been deeply committed to helping clients navigate life’s challenges, build resilience, and create meaningful, lasting change.

I’m LaToya T. Newman, MS, LMFT, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with master’s degrees in both Marriage and Family Therapy and Criminal Justice Sciences. My background allows me to look beyond symptoms alone and consider the relational, environmental, and systemic experiences that shape how we see ourselves, connect with others, and respond to life’s challenges.
I work with adults, couples, and families navigating trauma, anxiety, relationship challenges, life transitions, stress, and emotional overwhelm. I particularly enjoy supporting individuals and couples who are ready to better understand themselves, explore relational patterns, strengthen communication, and heal from experiences that continue to impact how they show up in relationships and daily life.
My work is attachment-based, trauma-informed, and relational. I pay attention not only to what is happening on the surface, but also to the deeper emotional experiences, family dynamics, and life experiences influencing your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. I am especially mindful of cultural experiences, family systems, and the impact of past environments on emotional safety and connection.
Clients often describe me as warm, direct, insightful, and easy to talk to. My goal is to create a space where you feel seen, heard, and supported without judgment while also gently challenging patterns that may no longer be serving you. I believe healing and growth happen when we better understand ourselves, feel emotionally safe, and begin addressing things at the root.
After spending 12 years working in the legal field, having 3 children, and ensuring my son with special needs had the support he needed to reach his potential, which he did beautifully, I decided to follow my (other) passion. Went back to school in 2016 to earn my Masters in Social Work, which allowed me to follow my dream - helping people find their voice, their identify, their peace, their power and their ability to grow.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Mental Health Therapist in Atlanta, GA
Searching for therapists in Atlanta starts with knowing what kind of support you want and which therapist has experience with those needs. Atlanta has a wide range of therapists across areas like Midtown, Buckhead, East Atlanta, Decatur, and beyond. Many people look for help with anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, life transitions, trauma, or work stress. As you compare options, look for a therapist whose listed specialties, training, and therapy style match what you want to work on. Bios can also help you understand whether a therapist uses approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, or other forms of care.
In a major metro like Atlanta, having many choices can make the search more complex. Narrow your list by deciding what matters most for your schedule, location, and comfort with appointment format. Some people prefer an office near home, work, or transit routes, while others choose virtual appointments for more flexibility. It can also help to check whether a therapist is accepting new patients, offers appointment times that fit your calendar, and provides a free phone consultation. Reading profiles before booking gives you a clearer sense of how each Atlanta therapist communicates, what they focus on, and what a first session may look like.
Therapy in Atlanta can be a significant cost without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to lower session costs and understand what you may pay before care begins. Headway helps you search for therapists in Atlanta who match your preferences and are accepting new patients. You can enter your insurance details, see estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking, compare therapist bios, and choose between in-person and virtual availability when you are ready.
