Healing is not "fixing" yourselves,
it's discovering yourself" Dr Lepera

It’s easy to be hard and critical when we don’t meet our own expectations. Being our own "best friend" instead of an inner critic is a healthy way to support and encourage ourselves. Sometimes, it’s hard to see all the go...

Miriam has been instrumental in our relationship in a very difficult time for us! We were dealing with professional, family, pandemic, pet management and communication issues and needed all the help we could get. She helped us analyze each one of us and understand why we were predisposed to expect and behave in a particular way. She helped us strategize our communication and de-escalate our arguments. I highly recommend theraphy and specially with someone like Miriam.

I have been "following" Miriam for the last 5 years. I first took some classes at Olli,FIU, and after, we formed the group Growing Wiser, and we got together every wednesday afternoon until COVID, then in Zoom meetings. Every week she perepared interesting topics about positive thinking, resilence, mindfulness, friendships, and so many interesting subjects. She has been a great positive influence in my life and I am very grateful and happy to have been able to enjoy and learn so much from her.

I have known Miriam MW for a number of years and I always felt that she had a special quality: understanding people's feelings and interpreting them therefore helping out with their insecurities. During those years, I realized that she is a competent, commendable professional. Later on I joined a group of middle aged women who under Miriam's leadership were debating intelligent situations, ingenious thoughts, and how we felt at the stage in life when children no longer needed us. The group thrived for many years through Miriam's smart, interesting topics highlighting our interests and our intellect while promoting bonding between us. I am grateful to Miriam for her contributions to our group of clever, curious, highly educated women for her inspiration, her understanding, and her help in finding a life of triumphs and satisfaction during the third stage in our journey. .
