Mirielle Therapy Practice is a small group practice based out of a private office in midtown Manhattan. There are multiple practitioners, including myself (Alice) who work closely to provide the best possible individualized care.
We specialize in helping early and mid-career stage women who are looking to make important changes in their lives. Issues that are at the core of ones’ identity can be so painful when they are not going well. Concerns about dating, love, friendships, career issues, family, loss, or health can generate intense feelings of sadness, worry, insecurity, and stress. Our purpose is to work collaboratively with you so that you do not feel alone.
In addition to helping individuals, we also work to repair mother-daughter relationships, and improve the confidence and well-being of adolescent girls who are attending New York City private schools or specialized high schools. At Mirielle Therapy practice, we specialize in Women and Relationships Therapy in NYC.
As our client, it is important that you feel comfortable and accepted. We value working with women from a multitude of: religious backgrounds, nationalities, sexual orientations, and ethnic and cultural identities.
We look forward to speaking with you.
