About Mariam
Mariam Parekh is a clinical psychologist practicing in Colorado. She has been seeing clients since 2016 and holds psychologist credentials in Colorado and California. Mariam brings a decade of practical experience to everyday concerns like stress, anxiety, depression, and trauma.
She earned a PhD from Syracuse University and completed internship and postgraduate placements connected with veterans' care. Her background includes training at White River Junction VA, Dartmouth, and Loma Linda VA. Those experiences shaped her work with adjustment, trauma, and relationship concerns.
Mariam uses evidence-based approaches so clients can set clear goals and notice progress. She emphasizes practical steps clients can try between sessions and tracks change over time. She also draws on positive psychology to help people build a stronger relationship with themselves and with others.
In sessions she aims to combine problem-solving with attention to deeper patterns that affect behavior. That can mean learning coping skills, examining relationship patterns, or working through difficult memories. She does not describe people as broken, and she encourages clients to notice strengths as they work toward change.
Outside of work she spends time with her son and reads fantasy books to keep her imagination active. She enjoys programs about body language and therapy and values the idea of honoring the inner child as part of healing.
How her approaches translate to online care
Mariam commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy in her practice. CBT focuses on how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect; it helps people change unhelpful thinking and try new behaviors for anxiety, depression, and stress. DBT emphasizes skills for managing intense emotions, improving distress tolerance, and strengthening relationships, which can be useful for emotion regulation and communication difficulties.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to choose or blend methods that match their goals and preferences. Clients can expect to review how well a chosen approach is working and adjust plans together over time.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or remove the time spent traveling to an office. These practical benefits help people keep therapy consistent while still focusing on skills, perspective shifts, and processing difficult experiences such as trauma or coping with natural or human-caused disaster.
