Miriam Zisook
Introduction
As a social worker, I have provided mental health counseling, coaching and support groups in schools and outpatient mental health. As a therapist, I bring the designer's skills of problem definition, thoughtful standard setting, creativity and resourcefulness to the challenge of individual and collective wellbeing. Therapy with me can look and feel like traditional talk therapy, rooted in conversation between client and therapist. It can also include art making, project doing, and play. I especially strive to support neurodivergent, disabled and LGBTQIA+ folks. I strive to provide non-pathologizing care by recognizing disability and mental health within the systems of power that shape our lives. I believe a therapist should bring their full intellect, heart, and spirit to the task of supporting an individual's process of growth, without ever forgetting that individual is the principal expert and agent in their own life. While therapy centers on emotions, you can expect therapy with me to be pragmatic and to help you build skills and capacities useful in your daily life. My work is informed by narrative therapy, solution focused therapy, attachment theory, and understanding of how emotions and trauma are embodied.
