Miriam Guillen-Ibarra

My communication style

I create a comfortable counseling environment where you can feel a sense of safety and recognize your strengths and tools to navigate challenges effectively. I offer practical strategies to help you implement changes in your life.

My journey to mental healthcare

I was attracted to a career as a therapist because I have a desire to help others who may be struggling to understand or cope with mental health issues.

My goals for you

I help clients achieve meaningful and sustainable changes by creating collaborative goals. I start by understanding your concerns and what you hope to achieve, building trust with empathy and validation. We work together to prioritize issues, model therapeutic interventions, and adjust goals as therapy progresses.

Our first session

I will work to create a welcoming and safe environment, helping you feel at ease. I gather background information through assessment of your history, current issues, strengths, and challenges, making sure you feel safe, understood, and supported.
