Getting to know Miriam Ruiz Lopez

Hi there, I'm Miriam! Starting therapy can feel like a big step, especially when you’re already feeling overwhelmed. I offer a supportive space where you can feel heard and comfortable being yourself. Together, we’ll build on your strengths, work through challenges, and find a path forward that feels right for you. My focus I work with clients who may be feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or struggling to navigate difficult emotions, experiences, or changes in their lives. Together, we’ll explore what’s going on, build on your strengths, develop helpful coping skills, and work toward changes that feel meaningful and manageable. My approach I take a collaborative approach tailored to your individual needs, experiences, and goals. I use CBT and trauma-informed care to explore patterns in thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, while building practical coping skills and strategies you can use in everyday life. My communication style My style is warm, open, and straightforward. I listen without judgment, give you space to process, and ask thoughtful questions. I’ll offer feedback and gently challenge you when helpful, while creating a space where you can feel comfortable being yourself and talking openly. My journey to mental healthcare My interest in this field began with family and a curiosity about why people are the way they are. Over time, I learned the value of understanding how our experiences shape us and that growth can begin when we use that understanding to make intentional changes in our lives. My goals for you We’ll work together to identify goals that are meaningful and realistic for you. We’ll break them into manageable steps, build on your strengths, and check in on your progress along the way. As your needs change, your goals can change too, therapy should grow with you. Our first session Our first session is a chance to get to know each other and learn more about what brings you to therapy, your current needs, and what you hope to gain.
