Mariam Aldaz Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist Hello, my name is Mariam. I am here to help support and assist you with learning healthier ways of coping with personal challenges and overcoming life's obstacles. My focus is on my client's potential for growth, self-actualization, and positive change.
My approach
My approach to therapy is based on the needs and challenges of each client that I work with. I often utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Humanistic therapy, and Emotion-Focused therapy. As a therapist, I take a non-directive approach offering empathy and unconditional positive regard, encouraging people to heal and find personal fulfillment. As a therapist, my approach is to help people to better understand and cope with their presenting concerns.
My focus
I specialize in working with individuals who are struggling with life transitions, adjustment, marital problems, grief, anxiety, depression, worries, and stress related to home life and work.
My communication style
I provide a safe environment that is calm and welcoming so that clients feel at ease and comfortable to talk about painful, embarrassing, or traumatic memories without feeling judged.
My journey to mental healthcare
While growing up I had friends and family who suffered from mental health problems and were unable to find quality mental health services. I made it my calling to go into the profession of providing the best quality care for a diverse population.
My goals for you
I work to empower clients to overcome barriers and gain a greater perspective in resolving challenges in their life.
My first session with you
The first session consists of establishing rapport with the client, getting to know the client, discussing the reason for seeking therapy, and determining what the client wants to accomplish in therapy.
