Miriam Kagan (she/her)

I am trained in using a creative approach to DBT, assisting clients in discovering their strengths and challenges while developing skills to balance these dichotomies. Clients will see their capabilities in a new way, allowing them to believe in themselves more fully and to live more authentically.

I am trained in using CBT through a person-centered approach, allowing clients to gain insight into their behaviors and tendencies that are maladaptive or disadvantageous. Clients will apply these insights toward their recovery by retraining their minds and bodies through a compassionate lense.
