MIRIAM FRUNZA, MSW, ASW
THERAPIST | ASW #137448
Hello, I’m Miriam
I am a bilingual therapist fluent in English and Romanian. I enjoy working with individuals from diverse backgrounds and strive to create a safe space where clients feel seen, heard, and understood. With my own multicultural background, I am passionate about supporting clients who are navigating their multicultural identify, experiencing cultural clashes, and struggling to find a sense of belonging.
As an Associate Clinical Social Worker, I meet clients where they are in their journey and supporting them at a pace that feels right to them.
In session, I focus on exploring and challenging unwanted thought patterns as well as working from a strengths-based perspective. I collaborate with clients on setting goals and integrating evidence-based practices that best support the client's needs, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), and Somatic Therapy.
I also have a conversational level of American Sign Language (ASL) and I continue my ongoing education within the Deaf and Hard of hearing community.
Together, we can create a space for healing and meaningful change.
