More about Mariam
- 10 years' experience

- Psychologist
I am a Clinical Psychologist in Colorado who has been practicing since 2016. I have licenses in both Colorado and California. I have a PhD from Syracuse University and has completed all Ph.D. requirements from American PsychologicalAssociation accredited placements. I completed my Internship at White River Junction Veteran Association and Dartmouth University and Post Graduate work from Loma Linda Veteran Association. I am well-trained in areas of areas of depression, anxiety, trauma, adjustment and marital counseling. I use an evidence based approach to my practice of psychology to help ensure that clients are aware of their goals and can track their own treatment success as a way of helping clients recognize progress in their journey toward change and celebrate their true inner power. I do not believe that people are broken just because they are feeling broken. I emphasize use of positive psychology to help empower clients to develop a meaningful relationship with themselves and others so they can find value in their world. Outside of work, I like to spend quality time my son. I enjoy reading books related to fantasy as I believes it is important to let my mind be creative and allow the mind to escape outside of what I know is reality. I love to watch shows that are related to body language and therapy (of course). I really enjoy my son, who shows me every day that innocence is a wonderful aspect of life and helps me realize that the inner child in every one of us is something important and must be cherished.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
