Miriam Barton, LMFT — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Miriam!

I am a bilingual English and Spanish Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist residing in beautiful San Diego, California. I have been in the mental health field for over 10 years and have worked with clients from diverse backgrounds. I feel that it is a privilege to work alongside our clients, helping them as they navigate through life's challenges.

My focus

I have found that my style and approach are a good fit for youth and adults who may be dealing with trauma, attachment, interpersonal relationship issues, anxiety, depression, and stress. I work collaboratively with my client as they navigate these difficult times while building skills to allow them to reach their full potential.

My approach

My therapeutic approach is individualized to my client's needs. I approach therapy utilizing an eclectic approach using various modalities and tools to help meet my client's needs.

My communication style

My communication style is nurturing, honest, and gentle. Therapy can be difficult, and I hope to create a trusting environment that can facilitate opportunities for growth and change.

My journey to mental healthcare

My journey to becoming a therapist began at an early age. I was always highly motivated and interested in helping others. From a young age, I knew the helping profession would be in my future. I have always enjoyed opportunities where I can help empower others.

My goals for you

My approach to goal setting is a collaborative effort. Together, we identify what matters most to you and create actionable steps that feel manageable. I check in regularly to ensure we're moving in a direction that feels right, adjusting our focus as your needs evolve.

Our first session

What you can expect from our first session together is for us to spend the majority of our time talking about you. I would like to get to know you and understand what life circumstances brought you to therapy today. I would likely ask questions to better understand how you are feeling and build an initial connection with you.
