You may be the person everyone turns to, the one who holds it together, cares for others, and keeps moving even when exhausted. But lately, you may be wondering, “What about me?” I work with adults, couples, and families navigating anxiety, stress, relationships, and life transitions. I have a special passion for supporting women through perimenopause, menopause, and midlife, including changes in identity, relationships, intimacy, and sexual wellness. Together, we’ll explore what’s weighing on you, identify patterns that no longer serve you, and make space to reconnect with yourself and embrace what comes next.
My name is Miriam. I am an advanced practice nurse dedicated to supporting individuals on their journey toward mental and emotional well-being. I hold an MSN from Wilkes University. I have about 5 years of experience working in the mental health field as a nurse and an advanced practice nurse. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of working with diverse populations, which has enriched my understanding and approach to therapy and medication management.
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in NY. I obtained my undergraduate degree from Ithaca College, and then my Master of Social Work from Binghamton University. I have experience working in college counseling, hospital settings, and non-profits.
Si estás cargando algo que se siente demasiado pesado para seguir llevando solo, o simplemente buscas un espacio donde puedas hablar con honestidad sin ser juzgado, puedo ayudarte. Mi camino hacia la terapia nació de una profunda curiosidad por la resiliencia humana y del deseo genuino de acompañar a las personas en sus momentos más difíciles. Durante mi formación de posgrado trabajé con sobrevivientes de trauma, una experiencia que me mostró el poder transformador de la terapia y que fortaleció mi compromiso de caminar junto a otros en sus procesos de sanación. Soy LMHC con mas de 20 años ofreciendo terapia.
I specialize in treating anxiety, depression, ADD/ADHD, OCD, and family and interpersonal relationship challenges. I also offer Peak Performance training for individuals aiming to excel in various aspects of life. Whether in the office or in real-world settings, I work with you to create a personalized approach that supports your goals. I use evidence-based modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), Somatic Experiencing, Hakomi, and Motivational Interviewing. I'm also trained in Psychedelic Assisted Psychotherapy, using Ketamine for clients who are eligible.
You dreamed of what becoming a mother would feel like — and maybe this isn’t it. You’re exhausted in ways you didn’t expect. You’re anxious, or numb, or you can’t stop the intrusive thoughts. You love your baby and yet you feel lost inside your own life. That disconnect is real, and it makes sense.
I specialize in supporting mothers through the emotional weight of the perinatal period; from pregnancy through the postpartum years. This includes birth trauma, postpartum anxiety and depression, intrusive thoughts, and the profound stress of a NICU stay or premature birth. If your baby’s early days were shaped by fear, separation, or medical uncertainty, you don’t have to carry that alone.
In our work together, you won’t be rushed, minimized, or handed a generic coping list. You’ll have space to say the things you haven’t been able to say out loud and to slowly feel like yourself again.
I offer virtual sessions, making it easy to get support from the comfort of your home — no babysitter required.

As the chief psychologist at Cornell and R.I.T. I had the privilege of working with young adults and professionals as they navigated challenging and transformative periods. Since then, I have been working in private practice, helping clients manage challenges related to anxiety, OCD, depression, life transitions, and relationship issues.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in New York
Searching for therapists in New York means choosing from a wide range of licensed professionals across urban, suburban, and rural areas. Your options may vary depending on where you live, what kind of support you want, and whether you prefer in-person or virtual sessions. If you’re looking for care related to anxiety, depression, ADHD, relationship challenges, grief, or life transitions, start by looking for a therapist whose listed specialties match your needs. Provider bios can also show whether a therapist uses approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, or trauma-informed care.
Location and schedule matter, too. A therapist in New York City may offer different appointment options than one in Buffalo, Albany, or the Hudson Valley, and virtual therapy can help broaden your search beyond nearby offices. Some people prefer meeting in person, while others prefer the flexibility of virtual appointments from home. As you compare therapists, look at appointment availability, whether they offer free phone consultations, and how they describe their session style. Reading profiles before booking can help you understand how a therapist communicates, what they focus on, and whether their approach fits what you’re looking for.
The cost of mental health care in New York varies, but using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps make that process easier by showing therapists who are accepting new patients, verifying your insurance, and estimating your out-of-pocket cost before you book. Nationally, Headway partners with 100+ insurance plans, and you can confirm coverage based on your location and specific plan. Browse therapists, review bios, and book directly when you’re ready.
