"Your tears matter.  You sorrow is significant.  Your feelings deserve space and time to be felt, expressed, and acknowledged."

-Dr. Thema

Mireya honors the opportunity clients provide during their most vulnerable state by providing a warm, nonjudgmental and affirming space.  Mireya believes in the power of connection when building a therapeutic relationship with her clients. Mireya strives to empower her clients through use of psychoeducation.  She assists clients to create insight of thoughts, feelings, and behaviors contributing to current emotional and behavioral symptoms while also supporting the development of holistic coping skills.  

Mireya primarily uses a person-centered and strengths-based approach with a combination of theories and modalities to tailor therapeutic approaches to individual clients during sessions.  When working with clients, Mireya focuses on what he/she/they can do regardless of the adversities of life.  As necessary, Mireya intentionally incorporates multiculturalism, and consideration of social justice issues as a form of empowerment to highlight the clients' strengths while working toward emotional healing.  Mireya has strengths working with individuals navigating depression, anxiety, ADHD, relationship issues, parenting, stress, grief and loss, self-harm, trauma, life transitions, first-generation stressors, domestic violence, and postpartum depression.  Mireya is passionate about social justice and mental and emotional health.  Mireya works with a diverse group of clients and ranges of diagnosis as she provides a bilingual and bicultural therapeutic environment for adolescents and adults.
