Dr. Mirna Mejia

*** please email [email protected] first before scheduling an appointment. I offer an initial 15-minute consultation prior to scheduling new appointments ***

I am a licensed clinical psychologist originally trained in NYC at St. John’s University. My main area of focus is on working with adults seeking burnout recovery (both individual and group therapy offerings; see website mirnamejiaphd.com for group therapy description).

Additional specialties include the treatment of anxiety, depression, and PTSD. I'm also particularly interested in the treatment of chronic health conditions, including chronic pain and insomnia, including how emotional functioning impacts overall physical well-being.

Please note that I work with clients 18+ years of age.

My style is active and collaborative in order to help clients work on specific goals. However, I am flexible as there are times when it's most helpful to have a space to voice concerns without switching quickly to problem-solving. I draw upon CBT and mindfulness therapies. I explore how thinking styles help or hinder goal progress. I also help explore how longstanding and unhelpful patterns developed over time and how these pose as barriers in the here-and-now.

Our first session sets the framework of our work together, which includes goals you wish to embark on (e.g., socially, professionally, personally).

Clients leave sessions with me feeling both supported and guided on next steps. I do offer reflection exercises or worksheets to help implement and solidify learnings gained from sessions and regularly refer to this work in subsequent appointments.
