I am a dedicated and compassionate collaborator committed to helping you navigate life's challenges. My approach is warm, non-judgmental, and deeply empathetic. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed by trauma, grief, or the daily stresses of life, I’m here to support and empower you.

Hello! I'm Miri Salamone Burnett, and I'm here to be a direct, compassionate, and collaborative partner in your journey toward change.

I specialize in helping adults, elders, couples, and families who are struggling with Trauma, Stress disorders, navigating Addiction and Recovery, and addressing complex Mood and Relationship Challenges (including anxiety, depression, grief, and family conflict). My goal is simple: to help you move past what’s holding you back and build lasting resilience. I offer services in English and intermediate Spanish.

As your mental health provider here's what I want you to know about me:

• I listen first
• I believe in collaboration
• I treat the whole person
• Medication is a tool, not a requirement.
• There is no shame in seeking help.
• Progress is possible.

I have 20 years experience and a compassionate heart. I am ready to walk beside you on your healing journey. Experienced treating veterans. I am honored to serve America's heroes! Individual therapy for adults only.

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who works with teens and adults navigating anxiety, trauma, emotional difficulties, relationship challenges, and difficult life transitions. I especially enjoy working with people who feel stuck in old patterns, overwhelmed by their emotions, or disconnected from themselves. I believe you are more than the challenges that bring you to therapy, and I aim to understand you as a whole person, not just your symptoms. I use a blend of IFS, psychodynamic therapy, CBT, mindfulness, and somatic approaches to support growth and meaningful change.

I hold two clinical credentials: an LCSW and a CASAC Level 2, which is an advanced substance use counseling certification that goes beyond what a standard therapy license covers. Together, they mean I can work with the full picture — the addiction, the trauma underneath it, the grief, the depression, the behaviors that developed alongside it.

I've worked in hospital units, outpatient programs, and community-based settings across New York — so I've seen what people face at their most acute and at the everyday level of trying to hold things together. I work with adolescents and adults navigating substance use, trauma, PTSD, gambling, bipolar disorder, depression, and anger.

I bring clinical rigor and genuine warmth in equal measure — because one without the other doesn't do the job

Do you ever feel stuck in the same patterns, unsure why? Are you facing big life changes- starting out, starting over, or somewhere in between? I work with clients from young adults navigating independence to older adults facing loss, identity shifts, or new purpose. I aim to be a mirror, a soundboard, and a source of steady encouragement. I believe in showing up with transparency and compassion, and I value building a therapeutic relationship based on trust, involvement, and accountability. I am not afraid of tough conversations, so you don't have to fear sharing your truth.

I am currently employed full time as a clinical manager at a community mental health counseling center. I have spent several years practicing in mental health outpatient clinics as well as substance use outpatient clinics as a psychotherapist, group therapist, and supervisor. My passion for the connection and growth created in psychotherapy has motivated my private practice.

One of the first things I like to do as a therapist is to get to know each other. It’s my opinion that having a therapist you’re able to trust and feel comfortable with is essential in building the therapeutic alliance. From there, we will assess your goals as well as your strengths to increase self-esteem and improve relationships.

I view therapy as a collaborative journey toward personal growth and fulfillment. I strive to create a safe, supportive, and non-judgmental space where clients feel comfortable exploring their thoughts, emotions, and experiences, and where we can work together to build meaningful, practical solutions for a more fulfilling future.
