Yasmin Miranda, LCPC

Psychotherapist
MD
Hi there, I'm Yasmin! Therapy with me is active, collaborative, and grounded in curiosity rather than judgment. You don’t need to perform, impress, or have the “right” answers. We go at a pace that feels safe while still moving toward meaningful change. My focus Adults of all genders who struggle with anger and resentment. Adolescents who feel misunderstood or isolated. People who identify as nerds, outcasts, creatives, or deep thinkers. Clients who are tired of being told to “let it go” or “just think positive.” Individuals who hate being told “how does that make you feel?" My approach My approach to therapy is integrative rather than tied to one specific modality. I draw from a variety of evidence-based approaches – including narrative therapy, interpersonal, solution-focused, motivational interviewing, and emotion-focused techniques – depending on what is most helpful for each individual client. My communication style Therapy with me tends to feel more like a genuine conversation than a formal interview. I believe that the therapeutic relationship itself is one of the strongest predictors of change, so I aim to be authentic, engaged, and human. I believe therapists can be professional without being blank slates. My journey to mental healthcare The honest answer is I became a therapist out of spite. My own experiences with therapy in my youth felt detached, overly abstract, and condescending. I knew under-served populations already struggle to get quality care, and I wanted to help. I've been a therapist since 2013 and continue to learn and grow to provide the best care possible. My goals for you I believe emotions aren't obstacles to good decision-making – they're data. I help people understand what their emotions are trying to communicate. The goal isn't to let emotions run the show, nor is it to suppress them, but to use both emotion and logic to make choices that align with the life you want to build.
