Miven is an experienced therapist in Los Angeles for adults, teens, and families. She works from an integrative perspective grounded in psychodynamic theory, family systems, the unity of the mind and body, and an existential focus on what makes life meaningful. She has a wealth of experience from specializing in play therapy and child therapy for many years, especially with children and grief. She uses her deep, intuitive understanding of children in all her work.
She is currently only taking new therapy clients for family therapy, no individuals children, or couples. She is happy to offer tailored referrals for anyone seeking those things or not sure what they need, and can do that in a “ask me anything” intro session currently at $100.
