About Me

I’m Miriam Iskander, an Associate Marriage and Family Therapist practicing under the supervision of Marian Girgis, LCSW. I provide therapy to individuals and couples, with a special focus on helping young adults navigate life transitions, relationships, education, careers, and the challenges of building a fulfilling adult life. Life can feel overwhelming when you are balancing relationships, school, work, family expectations, and uncertainty about the future. I offer a supportive and nonjudgmental space where we can make sense of what you are experiencing, identify what matters most to you, and develop practical steps toward positive change. Together, we will build on your strengths so you can feel more focused, confident, and intentional in your life. I help young adults strengthen their ability to manage major life transitions, adjust to new circumstances, and work through challenges involving relationships, school, and careers. Our work may focus on improving attention and organization, establishing healthy routines, clarifying goals, strengthening communication, and maintaining motivation. I also support individuals and couples in recognizing unhelpful patterns, navigating conflict, and developing healthier, more meaningful relationships.

Our First Conversation

Our first session is an opportunity for us to get to know one another and discuss what brings you to therapy. We will explore your current concerns, personal history, strengths, and the goals you hope to achieve. I will explain how therapy works, answer your questions, and collaborate with you on a plan that feels comfortable and meaningful. As our work continues, we will regularly review your progress and adjust our approach to support your evolving needs and goals.

What You Can Count On From Me

I bring warmth, patience, curiosity, and a collaborative spirit to the therapeutic relationship. I listen carefully and help clients organize complex thoughts and emotions into clear, manageable goals. My supportive and practical style helps clients recognize their strengths, develop useful skills, and make sustainable changes while feeling understood and encouraged throughout the process.

Who I’m Here For

I work best with young adults and adults who are navigating life transitions, relationship difficulties, academic or career stress, and uncertainty about their next steps. I also support couples who want to improve communication, understand recurring patterns, and strengthen their relationships. My practice is a good fit for clients seeking greater focus, organization, confidence, and direction as they work toward meaningful personal goals.

My Therapeutic Approach

My approach is warm, collaborative, and goal-oriented. I work with each client to understand their concerns, recognize patterns that may be keeping them stuck, and develop practical strategies that can be applied in everyday life. Sessions may focus on strengthening communication, improving organization and attention, setting achievable goals, and building healthier routines and relationships. I tailor therapy to each individual or couple’s needs while providing a supportive, nonjudgmental space for reflection, growth, and meaningful change.

Treatment Methods

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

ACT helps you accept difficult thoughts and feelings rather than fight them, while taking action aligned with your values. Particularly effective for anxiety, chronic pain, and depression.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT helps you identify thought patterns that contribute to anxiety, depression, and stress — then build skills to interrupt and change them. Highly effective and well-researched.

Note: Each session is 60 minutes, whether it’s your first consult or an ongoing visit.
