I am Mira Iheme, Ph.D., a doctoral-level clinician with over 20 years of experience providing psychotherapy to individuals from diverse cultural and socioeconomic backgrounds. Throughout my career, I have been deeply committed to helping clients navigate life’s challenges, build resilience, and create meaningful, lasting change.
My therapeutic approach is solution-focused, collaborative, and strengths-based, grounded in the belief that every individual has the capacity for growth and healing. I am known for my energetic, highly positive, and optimistic style, which helps foster a supportive and empowering therapeutic environment. I work actively with clients to identify goals, develop practical strategies, and move toward improved emotional well-being and life satisfaction.
I thrive in helping clients make positive life transitions, overcome obstacles, and reconnect with their sense of purpose and inner strength. I am passionate about meeting clients where they are and walking alongside them as they progress on their personal wellness journey. It is my privilege to support clients as they work toward greater balance, clarity, and fulfillment in their lives.
Greeting!
I am a seasoned professional continuing to study and learn the most impactful ways to lessen human suffering and promote self love in all. Beginning my practice decades ago as a combat trauma therapist, I have found myself dealing with the traumas of early life and relationships with most my adolescent and adult clients. I believe counseling can offer many “tools”, to cope, however, I prefer to help people heal so that coping becomes an infrequent need.
After spending 12 years working in the legal field, having 3 children, and ensuring my son with special needs had the support he needed to reach his potential, which he did beautifully, I decided to follow my (other) passion. Went back to school in 2016 to earn my Masters in Social Work, which allowed me to follow my dream - helping people find their voice, their identify, their peace, their power and their ability to grow.
Welcome! First and foremost, therapy is my passion. I genuinely believe in empowering and supporting others on their healing journey. It is so important to allow people to establish their voice and feel heard without the fear of being judged. I have extensive experience in treating different diagnoses and treating various emotional and social challenges. I find great joy working with my clients as they discover their own strengths and find purpose in their journey.


Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.
Finding the right therapist in Buford starts with identifying what kind of support you need. Common reasons people in the Buford area seek therapy include anxiety, depression, relationship or family challenges, life transitions, and stress. Licensed providers — such as LPCs, LCSWs, psychologists, and psychiatrists — each bring different training and specialties. Reading a provider's bio can help you understand their approach and whether they're a good match before you commit to a session.
With many therapists practicing across Buford and surrounding Gwinnett County communities, narrowing your options can feel like a lot. Consider what matters most to you: a provider who specializes in a specific concern, someone who offers virtual sessions, or a therapist close to your neighborhood. A free phone consultation, when available, is a good way to see if a provider feels like the right fit.
Therapy in the Buford area can be costly without coverage, but using in-network insurance benefits is one of the most reliable ways to reduce what you pay. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated session costs before you book. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, and many patients pay as low as $0 per visit depending on their plan and location.
