Hello! My name is Miriam Kahn and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in both MD and DC. I have experience working with folks of all ages and currently specialize in treating adolescents, young adults and adults. I have experience working in schools, community agencies and private practice.

I often work with folks navigating trauma, depression, anxiety, life changes, grief and loss, and perinatal challenges. I am trained in cognitive behavioral techniques through a trauma-informed, attachment-focused and values-based lens, however, I integrate a variety of expressive arts and mindfulness approaches in therapy sessions. I am particularly passionate about the power the human-animal bond can offer in therapy and have worked with the assistance of my dog, Tucker, to create a space that allows clients to access thoughts, feelings and strategies in a way that more traditional therapies may not offer.

I utilize humor and transparency with clients as I know vulnerability can be difficult in a new space. To me, trust and rapport is the foundation to a strong therapeutic relationship and I believe being invited to listen to others’ stories is an honor. Therapy is not a “one-size-fits-all” approach and my goal is to work together to identify a therapeutic process that is unique to each individual’s strengths and growth areas. I look forward to working together to achieve the growth and change you desire in a safe and supportive setting.
