Hi There. My name is Mimi. I am a licensed Psychotherapist. I am here to help you grow, identify and resolve emotional and psychological obstacles that are preventing you from achieving the quality of life you deserve and desire. My integrative approach to therapy combines a variety of techniques to accommodate different individual needs to assist you in making choices that will help you achieve a fuller and happier life in a non judgmental, compassionate, warm, and safe environment where you will be heard and accepted. You may feel lost, empty, anxious, alone, with no place to turn to, but as we work together, I will lead you to explore those wounds and emotions that are creating the pain you feel. Clinging to old patterns and emotions is familiar and safe, but it does not serve us well. However, as we walk together, your life will begin to have the purpose you are seeking and deserve as you let go of old emotions and experiences. Taking the first step to self understanding can be intimidating and it takes courage to embark on a journey for change where you will be in control of your life and to all issues overwhelming you with anxious feelings and overwhelming thoughts. You are not alone, you can do it, and I will support you all the way as we work together!

As you enter my practice, you will be welcomed into a warm, safe, and confidential environment where you can feel at ease. Getting to Know You: During our initial meeting, we will discuss your background, current challenges, and what brings you to therapy. This conversation is an opportunity for you to share your story and for me to understand your unique needs. Establishing Goals: We will begin to outline your goals for therapy.

Understanding the Process: I will explain my approach to therapy and how our sessions will work. You’ll learn about the techniques and methods I use, and we will discuss how they can be tailored to suit your individual needs. Creating a Plan: Together, we will create a personalized treatment plan. This plan will serve as a roadmap for our work together, outlining the steps we will take to help you achieve your goals. Addressing Questions: Your first session is also a time for you to ask any questions you may have about therapy, my approach, or what to expect in future sessions. I want you to feel comfortable and informed as we begin this journey. Building a Connection: Most importantly, our first session is about building a connection. A strong therapeutic relationship is the foundation of effective therapy. I am here to support you, and together, we will work towards creating positive change in your life.

CBT is a form of psychotherapy aiming to reduce symptoms of anxiety disorders, depression, and PTSD, by helping clients change their negative thoughts and behaviors by providing coping skills such as cognitive restructuring helping to change cycle and thought patterns leading to anxiety; plus other coping skills helping you relax, change and manage challenging situations and improve the way you feel.
Client Centered Therapy is a non-directive approach, as I listen to you and make you the master of your own life. Your self esteem and mental health improves greatly when you are being heard and find your own answers.
