Mariam Halstead

Hi, I'm Mariam :) I’m a neurodiverse therapist who is Amazigh (Indigenous Moroccan)‐American and grew up overseas. I work with folks of all backgrounds, and have extensive experience working with and within LGBTQIA+, BIPOC, and neurodiverse communities.

I specialize in helping adults build a more grounded and intentional life where they feel genuinely empowered. If you have been holding it together but feel stuck in overthinking, anxiety, or old patterns that impact your well‐being, it can be really tough.

Together, we will slow down, understand what is driving your stress, anxiety, and self-doubt, building practical tools you can use in daily life. My style is warm, direct, and grounded. I will be present and with you, ask thoughtful questions, and give feedback that is honest and clear.

Many of the people I work with come to therapy want to engage in less people pleasing, be more confidence, and relief from chronic stress or symptoms associated with anxiety and AuDHD/ADHD/Autism. We will work at a steady pace, usually weekly at first, so you can see progress instead of feeling like you are starting over every time. I value consistency and collaboration, and I will help you set a clear direction, so sessions feel purposeful, not random.

Typically I meet with folks (located in the state of NV), weekly to start then shift to every 2 weeks. If you think it's a good fit, let's chat (please book a free consultation via my calendar).

Once we get started during our first session we will get to know each other and discuss what you would like to get out of therapy. Folks often report feeling validated, relieved and more hopeful about the future more quickly than expected.
