Miesha Carey

Hi there! Thank you for considering me as someone you'd have come alongside you on this leg of your journey! Here's some background about me to help determine if I'm a good fit. Let's start with a classic, I took psychology classes in high school and really enjoyed it! Pair that with a passion for helping others and a love for science, landing on studying psychology in college felt like a natural option. I completed my bachelor's degree in psychology in 2014 then went on to work in healthcare and volunteering in a mental healthcare setting until I started graduate school in 2016. At that same time, I began working as community based case manager helping people with a variety of mental health challenges like anxiety, depression and trauma. My experience in these areas expanded when I began counseling as an intern in 2018. The following year, I began as a licensed therapist, in private practice, where I've continued helping folks navigate stress, relationship dynamics, setting boundaries, processing and making sense of past experiences and holding space for thoughts, feelings, emotions and figuring out ways to create the changes they want in their lives.

My approach to the therapy process is above all person centered! This is your time and space to show up for you, not one for me to try and fit you into a box. I aim to be encouraging, supportive, flexible and explorative. And, for some structure, when it feels helpful, we can lean on approaches like CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy), skills from DBT (dialectical behavioral therapy) and EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing).

Our first meeting will mostly focus on background information about you and what you're hoping to get out of the therapy process. I always say you can share as much as what feels ok for you, no pressure to share it all right away!
