Miriam Porat

As a therapist, I so value the healing potential of human connection. Sharing moments of loss, shame, joy, and disappointment can lead to stronger self-acceptance and connection with others. I strive to be welcoming, open, and empathetic to all clients who walk through the door. With a background in working with individuals and families, I have had the privilege of being witness to many personal stories. Our stories of trauma, family strife, and significant life events can affect us daily, determining how we interact with the world around us. My current focus for my practice includes working with individuals and couples experiencing the effects of trauma, anxiety, depression, life transitions, family strife, grief, loss, and challenges related to being part of a marginalized community or identity. My therapeutic approach is rooted in person-centered and humanistic counseling, emphasizing the importance of a safe, supportive, and collaborative therapeutic relationship. I am trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and incorporate trauma-informed practices to meet each client with empathy, respect, and flexibility—honoring their unique path toward healing.
