Getting to know Miranda Serra

Hi there, I'm Miranda! My name is Miranda Serra, and I counsel from a strengths perspective. I believe everyone has an amazing human spirit, and I like to approach counseling from a place of comfort and compassion for the client. I enjoy listening and helping clients shape their mental health to a place of homeostasis, ideally before they needed to come to therapy. My approach My approach to therapy is to listen to why the client is in therapy and find modalities that best suit their needs. I typically lean on Motivational Interviewing, CBT, and Strengths-Based counseling. My focus I usually work with individuals wanting to change how they process their feelings or who have experienced a crisis and want to take steps to resolve it-whether it be addiction, family issues, or beyond. My communication style I create a calm environment that relaxes the client so they can feel at ease as they share the issues they may be struggling with. My journey to mental healthcare I was a teacher for several years before pursuing my goal of becoming a social worker. I earned my Master's in Social Work from the University of Southern California. I enjoy working with people and helping them discover how wonderful they are or how to grieve when they lose a loved one. I connect with clients on a personal level, making sessions feel more like a conversation than therapy, which helps them relax and trust me. My goals for you I like to understand what has worked up to this point, why goals were or were not achieved, and work together to find a healthy balance for you. My first session with you You will learn the rules of confidentiality and the type of modality recommended for your specific issues. You should leave with confidence that we are working together to get to the root of the issue so you can return to a place of well-being.
