Wendy Miron

I’m a licensed clinical social worker with a doctorate in social work and more than 20 years of experience working with children, teens, and families through trauma, transition, and major life changes. I specialize in fostering healing spaces to address the impact of migration and adjustment, complex trauma, anxiety, and race-based traumatic stress, and I work with children, youth, and young adults, especially those from immigrant backgrounds, LGBTQI+, and historically marginalized communities. I’ve spent much of my career building community, doing clinical work with children and families, and leading nonprofits, including building and guiding mental health programs for immigrant and refugee youth. I now lead counseling services in higher education. Through Marble, I continue doing the work I love most: sitting with young people and their families directly. Outside of work, you’ll find me gardening, learning and unlearning and sharing those lessons, walking my dog, and spending time with my partner and in community with the people I love.

Warm and collaborative. I meet young people where they are, with curiosity rather than judgment. I work from an anti-oppressive, intersectional, and trauma-informed lens. Every part of who a young person is is welcome here, including race, culture, gender, sexuality, faith, and immigration story. I draw on an eclectic toolbox of therapeutic interventions, including Trauma-Informed Cognitive Therapy, Liberation Psychology, Parent-Child Psychotherapy, and Body-Mind integration.

Finding a safe/brave space is the first step toward healing. Therapy can be that space that allows you to identify challenges in your life and bring to the forefront your strengths. We'll work collaboratively and utilize healing practices to increase your coping skills. More importantly, therapy can support your ability to find your courage and authenticity, overall well-being, and make sense of your life’s journey.
