Frequently asked questions

Plain answers about fit, formats, consultations, privacy, and how scheduling works through Solid Ground Psychotherapy, PLLC.

How do I know if we will be a good fit?

Fit matters in therapy. The simplest way to explore it is to ask about a complimentary 15-minute consultation through Solid Ground Psychotherapy, PLLC. A brief conversation can give you a feel for how I work and whether it seems like the right match for what you are looking for.

Do you meet in person or virtually?

Both. I see clients in person at the Solid Ground Psychotherapy office in Arlington, Virginia, and virtually with clients located anywhere in the Commonwealth of Virginia.

Who do you work with?

I work with clients across the lifespan, with particular experience supporting adolescents, college students, graduate students, young professionals, and adults navigating periods of transition and growth.

How do I ask about appointments, availability, or fees?

Appointments, consultations, scheduling, and fee questions are coordinated through Solid Ground Psychotherapy, PLLC. Email a general inquiry about your availability and preferred format, and the Solid Ground team will follow up with next steps.

Is it safe to share personal details by email?

Please treat email as a general inquiry channel only. Do not use it to send sensitive or confidential clinical information. It is enough to say that you are interested in therapy and to share your general availability.

What if my concern is urgent?

Email is not monitored for urgent or emergency communications. If you are experiencing an emergency, call 911 or go to your nearest emergency room. If you are in crisis, you can call or text 988 to reach the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline at any time.

Does contacting Miriam through this website make me a client?

No. This website is for general informational purposes only, and viewing it or reaching out through it does not establish a therapist-client relationship. Psychotherapy services, consultations, and related communications are provided through Solid Ground Psychotherapy, PLLC.
