Miriam Chor Freitas, LCSW

"have seen Miriam twice over the course of 5 years due to stressful family situations involving mental health struggles. Miriam's approach is a holistic one and her advice, care and treatment has led me to a healthier life both physically and mentally. She has given me concrete tools to get through difficult times."

"Miriam Chor Freitas has helped me with my extreme PTSD. Before I started seeing her, I felt worthless and had flashbacks from the Vietnam War. Because of her, I have learned how to cope with my problems and family."

"I can't say enough about this intuitive genius. I was just reflecting on my non reactivity when I was home with my parents for the holidays. I felt neutral, at ease, and easily stated my boundaries without feeling like my inner child was screaming like every other visit I have every had with them. My body was free! I have had decades of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which of course was imperative to learn to self talk healthfully, and to re-parent myself in to proper self worth. My script is right on. HOWEVER, I was still left with nagging anxiety and depression that I couldn't self talk, exercise, sun drench, cold shower, nature bathe, child play my way out of. Adding a new diagnosis of cancer, I was not doing well. Miriam helped me metabolize my medical, family, and relationship traumas that plagued my tissues. They were rotting in me and I needed to release. Somatic therapies like EMDR with Miriam, who is such a safe and steady space gently but firmly guided me along, even when I wanted to tap out. She attunes to you, and you can heal through her. You will be so happy you did. My gratitude is infinite for Miriam."

"My experience with Miriam was amazing. She was extremely helpful and kind, I learned so much and was able to outcome hard challenges. Thank you so much for everything Miriam!"

"Miriam is absolutely amazing, I am so thankful for having the chance to work on my stuff with her! She helped me in so many ways I wouldn't know how to begin to summarize it. Working with Miriam has truly changed my life forever and I would recommend her to anyone that is willing to do the work. From our first session she always made me feel safe, and as a POC in the LGBTQ+ community I needed that. Her approach to therapy, especially with EMDR and Somatic Therapy, made every session a big one where we were working through hard stuff and making great progress. If you are ready to face your trauma and issues and appreciate a route that will get you there faster, you found your therapist. I am a different and healthier person since meeting Miriam and have gained so many tools and skills to keep working toward a happier, peaceful, and more balanced life."
