I am Miriam Schor, LCSW-C, a licensed clinical social worker with experience helping children and families navigate anxiety, emotional regulation difficulties, ADHD, self-esteem challenges, social concerns, and life transitions. I earned my Master of Social Work from the University of Maryland School of Social Work and have dedicated my practice to supporting children in developing the skills and confidence they need to thrive.
My approach is warm, collaborative, and child-centered. I believe children grow best when they feel understood, accepted, and supported. Because children often communicate more naturally through play than words alone, I use play therapy to help them express feelings, process experiences, and practice new ways of coping. I also incorporate cognitive behavioral strategies and other evidence-based interventions to help children build emotional awareness, coping skills, problem-solving abilities, and resilience.
I work closely with parents throughout the therapeutic process, providing guidance and practical strategies that support progress beyond the therapy room. My goal is to create a safe and engaging environment where children can explore challenges, discover strengths, and develop lasting skills that help them succeed at home, at school, and in their relationships.
