About Mira

Hi! My name is Mira Brady, and I have been a counselor for 8 years. Thank you for considering me as your therapist. Choosing a therapist is very personal and I urge you to be judgmental as possible to find the right fit for you. My approach is to work beside you to achieve your personal goals and growth. My personal belief and value is to "Do No Harm" to any of my clients. I will work to make sure your mental health is my first priority. I also believe in autonomy. You have the right to decide what is best for you and your life. I will not pressure you to do or say anything that makes you uncomfortable.

How do you work with clients with anxiety?

When working with clients that struggle with anxiety, the first objective is to identify the triggers that cause you to become anxious. Once we identify the triggers, we discuss how we can come with. That can range from having a specific time set aside to "worry" to talking about what it would look like if it actually happened and formulating a plan that you are safe and comfortable with.

How does cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) work and how can it help?

The best way to describe CBT is thinking about getting into your car and the map populates and tries to take you to a place that you always go (negativity). Well, if you want to change that and drive somewhere different, then you will have to go there (positivity) multiple times before your map automatically takes you there. CBT works, but it does require time and practice. If you are willing to put in the work, I am here to help.

How do you work with clients with depression?

When I have clients that are depressed, I will start by working with them to identify what makes them happy, and we will come up with days and times to implement those activities. We will address triggers that lead to sadness and see how we can come up with coping strategies to put them in a space to enjoy the good times and navigate the not so good times.

For people that are hesitant to try therapy, what do you wish you could tell them?

Making the decision to go to therapy can be scary. believe each person needs to feel heard to heal. I am here to help you heal by listening. I also believe no matter what has occurred in the past in your life, you CAN move forward and have a greater quality of life. I value your courage to search for a counselor that can help you with what is concerning you. I am guided by my ethical principles required in my profession and driven by my own beliefs and morals that a better version of yourself is achievable. Your goals will become our GPS destination. We will work together to navigate to a healthier "you".

What should people thinking about working with you, know about you?

I want my clients to know that I was Client #1! I had to start with myself and heal from past trauma and be able to identify my own triggers. I will never have my clients use anything that is not supported by evidence, or that I myself have not incorporated into my day to day life.

What does a typical session with you tend to look like?

When we first meet, I will ask questions and get to know what your primary concern is. I'll also administer some inventories that will allow me to tailor a plan that is specific to you. Once I have the data back from your inventories, we will get right to work. I am a therapist that requires my clients to put in the work, but I will work as well.

How do you work with clients with relationship issues?

When working with clients, the first thing I ask is if both parties want to work through their issues. Relationship therapy only works when both people are equally committed to making it better. Communication and commitment are important in moving forward.
