Miriam Weinberg

Miriam Weinberg

Psychologist

Virtual • Pennsylvania


I am a clinical psychologist who utilizes a Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) framework to help individuals become more aware of their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors contributing toward psychological struggles in their lives. I help clients gain more awareness of their internal experiences, such as thought and emotional patterns, so they can accept, change, and ease their experienced pain. Additionally, I help individuals explore their behaviors and relationships, so they can create life changes in line with their short and long term goals and values. I work with teenagers, adults, and families on strengthening their emotional regulation, adaptive problem solving, communication, and cognitive coping skills.


Over and above the specific type of therapy I use, there is a main principal that guides all of my therapeutic work, which is establishing a therapeutic relationship that is non-judgmental and collaborative. I make it a constant goal to have a better understanding of the complex nature of my clients and their surroundings, so that I can help each person through the prism of collaboration and humility. As a psychologist, I feel it is an immense privilege and honor to sit with an individual’s raw emotion and pain, and through therapy, I hope to slow down time and help clients build upon their strengths, continuously enhancing their multifaceted narrative that is life.

Julie Lacey

Therapist

Virtual • Pennsylvania


My path to becoming a therapist has been anything but traditional. I earned my bachelor's degree in Fashion Design from Kent State University before discovering my passion for helping others, which led me to earn a master's degree in School Counseling from Long Island University in Brooklyn, New York.

For nearly 10 years, I have worked as an in-school counselor at a public high school, supporting adolescents through life's challenges with compassion and understanding. I specialize in working with individuals experiencing anxiety and depression, helping clients build practical coping skills, increase self-confidence, and navigate difficult moments with resilience.

My goal is to provide a supportive, nonjudgmental space where you feel heard, understood, and empowered to move forward.

I focus mostly on behavior change. That might be a change from how you think about yourself, relationships, work, or something else. I can help you explore that. My role is to support you in believing that change is possible.

I also work in an open-ended environment. There is no contract or set number of sessions. Therapy should be flexible, and everyone's frequency is different. Most people notice growth within 10 sessions.
