About Miriam Saleh

I am so happy you’re here – I promise it’ll be okay! My clinical focus includes the treatment of trauma-related disorders, relational-dysfunction, symptom management, and adjustment to significant transitions. Specializing in anxiety, somatic and/or panic disorders, depressive disorders, and personality disorders, I work with individuals experiencing recurring panic attacks, chronic anxiety, emotional dysregulation, and maladaptive relational patterns. My aim is to address complex trauma and attachment-related disturbances, particularly as they impact functioning across relational and developmental domains.
As a first-generation American, I also specialize in immigration and cross-cultural counseling, supporting individuals and families in navigating cultural expectations, intergenerational dynamics, acculturative stress, and identity. I also have a strong clinical focus working with young adults, addressing the challenges that arise during this stage of life.
Navigating life’s challenges can be difficult, and its not something anyone should have to do in isolation. Of course- seeking therapy can be initially difficult. Trust me, I get that! My goal is to create the space to feel, grow and build resilience.
