Miriam is amazing… she listens with her heart and is extremely thoughtful with her responses. I appreciate the additional resources and support sent over via message. The check-ins she sends over throughout the week are also so helpful. Sometimes I forget I am in therapy because I feel so safe and comfortable expressing my thoughts, emotions, etc.

You can change your life. You can become the person that you want to be. Sometimes it takes hard work, usually it means being uncomfortable. But if you are willing to do that work, you can meet your goals. I would love the opportunity to support you on your journey.
I have spent over 20 years committed to this belief and committed to helping individuals along their way. My true passion is helping those who have a history of trauma and helping them learn how it has impacted their lives. Empowering individuals take their power back from whatever it is that they have survived. Trauma is such a vague word, and many things can fall into that category. No trauma is too severe, or too insignificant.
I am a licensed counselor in Pennsylvania. My Bachelor’s and master’s degrees are both in Professional Counseling from Toccoa Falls College and Liberty University. I have spent the majority of my career working with adults from all walks of life. Making people feel safe and comfortable is utmost priority for me. I have an eclectic approach using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Person Centered. I have trauma informed and focused on all my interactions no matter what approach is being used. Additionally, I am certified in Cognitive Processing Therapy.
In my personal life I am a mom, stepmom, dog mom, caregiver, and survivor myself. I love to cook, travel, and use creativity around my house.
I look forward to having an opportunity to work with you.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

I am very happy with Miriam. I am very comfortable sharing my thoughts and she helps me with my feelings and actions.
Miriam is quick to catch on, asks amazing questions and provides insights that I’ve not gotten over the past 15 years of therapy. She is amazing.
We've only just begun and she is wonderful so far. Very skilled and passionate about her profession.
I don’t know how you did it, but she’s perfect!
In the past 15 months that we've been working together, Ms Miriam has been the sounding board I've really needed. She's helped me get through some tough times and tough decisions I've had to make. I'll always appreciate that.
I like Miriam Brisley. She’s easy to talk with and relatable.
I love her
Miriam is very easy to open up to, and talk honestly with. I appreciate the different perspectives on looking at a situation also. I enjoy and look forward to our time together .
Over the last 35 years, off and on I have participated in one on one, in person therapy. I cannot say, except for one therapist that I gained any real help. Miriam has already helped me to accept my situation and is helping me move on. I feel more sure of myself and relaxed!
She cares plain and simple, and we almost play off of one another. I appreciate the concern she's shown the past 9 months.
Miriam has been super helpful to me. She is super knowledgeable about all of the things I have been dealing with, and has great insight to the best ways to help me. She is very flexible with her schedule, but also within each session, and is able to work with me in whatever direction we end up going.
I love her.
Miriam is an amazing therapist! She has been instrumental in helping me face the past in order to create for myself a brighter, more hopeful future. Miriam is compassionate, insightful, and a joy to work with. Highly recommend!
Ms Miriam and I have been working together for 5 almost 6 months now. She's been a big help. I owe her one.
very nice person
Only reason the answers were "mostly" is because we are so new in working together.
She is amazing! She listens and tries to help with everything I write, she responds to everything. I've seen many therapist and she is honestly I the best one I have ever seen!
I really enjoyed my sessions with Miriam. She always listened to me and helped me work through anything that was bothering me. She never made me feel bad about how I was feeling and I liked that.
I appreciate how much she try’s to understand me and direct me to Where I can g I to .
Highly recommended. Coming from someone who is going through medical residency and juggling a bunch of issues/past experiences. She really listens and delves deeper.
Miriam gets it! She doesn't sugar coat things and is very supportive.
Miriam is wonderful! Enjoy our sessions together very much! She’s very attentive and understanding which is appreciated greatly. I’m Lucky I found her.
Miriam makes me feel comfortable being open and I genuinely believe she listen to what I’m saying. I like that she assigns worksheet/Homework and how she makes me feel like she cares
I have only had a few weeks of counseling with her but we connected immediately! I am sure our remaining sessions will be just as helpful!
She’s a wonderful therapist. She challenges me to see myself from a different perspective.
