LPC, Licensed Professional Counselor

Bio

People living with marginalized identities can feel disconnected from the power of choice and free will. Especially in a world that feels difficult to been seen, accepted and heard in systems of injustice. We tend to feel pressure to shrink or disappear but the best justice is self-acceptance, love and empowerment.  

​

Thus, Myah enjoys utilizing Liberation psychology with my integrative approach to raise awareness to the parts of struggle that can be associated systemic dominant power and its structures that have historically  impacted our feelings and experiences of oppression linked to our experiences of living in imposed marginalized identities (race, sexual identity, abilities, gender identity, etc.).  

 

She deeply enjoys helping people find their assertive voice, inner strengths and positive self to improve their relationships with others and themselves through modalities like Dialectical Behavioral Therapy for self regulation, to build interpersonal effectiveness skills to improve one's self esteem. Exposure Response and Prevention Therapy can help reduce some of those recognized persistent safety behaviors and thought patterns associated with OCD, Social Anxiety and other phobias where people tend to lean towards people pleasing and shrinking oneself for survival versus wellness including living into one's desired best self. Acceptance Commitment Therapy for creating new positive experiential connections to your desired meaningful sense of self.

Myah's clinical focus includes Anxiety disorders, acute and complex trauma including adverse childhood experiences and harm from organized religious, navigating sexual and gender identity. She utilizes a Psychodynamic informed lens with a Humanistic approach to explore how our past adverse experiences impact barriers to healing in the present including insight, self-agency and change. This approach includes creating a multicultural relational therapeutic dynamic, a mutual commitment to the treatment process, working phase and goals including skill and insight building. Myah has a holistic and collaborative approach to treatment planning which includes building. Challenging times are likely but we can endure and get to the other side of progress and healing. Lastly, perfection is not desired, just a commitment to the journey.

In addition to standard modalities, Myah enjoys providing movement therapies that include Mindfulness  Martial Arts, Tai Chi practice, and creative expressive art therapy to create your inner Dragpersona.
