Great to meet you!

Great to meet you!

I’m Dr. Mimi Almaz West, a counselor educator and mental health clinician with over 20 years of experience. I specialize in supporting adults and college students navigating ADHD, anxiety, trauma, and academic or life stress. I bring a calm, structured, and honest approach to my work—you’ll always know where you stand with me. My goal is to help you feel grounded, supported, and capable of real change.

My approach to therapy

I work in a clear, supportive, and direct style so you get the guidance you need without feeling overwhelmed. I use evidence-based tools like CBT, trauma-informed care, and executive-functioning strategies to help you build practical skills. I focus on ADHD, anxiety, life transitions, and disability-related challenges. We work together to understand what’s getting in the way and create a plan that actually fits your life.

What you can expect from me

Your first session will feel organized, calm, and welcoming. We’ll talk about what brings you in, what you want to change, and what support you need right now. I’ll ask clear questions to understand your goals, and together we’ll set simple next steps. My aim is for you to leave feeling heard, understood, and clear about the path forward.
