Mireya Pava, M.S., LPC, NCC
Mireya Pava is an experienced licensed counselor who specializes in working with children, teens, and adults.
Life is a journey—no one should have to navigate it alone.
If you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure of how to move forward, I’m here to help. As a bilingual therapist (English & Spanish), I provide a safe and supportive space where you can explore your emotions, rediscover your strengths, and take meaningful steps toward healing and growth.
I specialize in working with children, teens, and adults who are navigating life transitions, emotional distress, and personal challenges, including:
✅ Anxiety & Depression
✅ First-Generation Challenges
✅ Autism Spectrum & ADHD
✅ Behavioral Concerns
✅ Grief & Loss
✅ Trauma & PTSD (including childhood sexual abuse & domestic violence)
✅ Self-Esteem & Body Image
✅ Life Transitions & Single Parenting
Working with Children & Teens
When working with children and teens, I believe that collaboration with caregivers is key to fostering a supportive environment for healing. My approach is tailored to each child’s unique needs, using a blend of play therapy techniques, cognitive-behavioral strategies (CBT), and a strength-based mindset to build confidence, emotional regulation, and resilience.
Therapy for Adults
For adults, I offer compassionate, culturally sensitive therapy that is both insightful and empowering. Whether you're experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, self-esteem struggles, or major life changes, I integrate CBT, mindfulness, trauma-informed care, and person-centered therapy to help you process challenges, regain clarity, and move forward with confidence.
Family Therapy
Families are ever-evolving, and sometimes, challenges arise that create tension or disconnect. I help families strengthen their relationships, improve communication, and navigate life’s transitions together. Whether you’re managing co-parenting challenges, parenting conflicts, blended family dynamics, or supporting a child or teen with emotional or behavioral concerns, I provide strategies to help your family thrive.
My Approach
I believe therapy should be an empowering experience—one that honors your unique background, culture, and lived experiences. My approach is rooted in empathy, cultural sensitivity, and person-centered care, ensuring that you feel heard, valued, and supported every step of the way. Using an integrative approach that includes CBT, trauma-informed techniques, and mindfulness-based practices, I tailor sessions to meet your specific needs and goals. Together, we’ll work toward creating meaningful change, healing past wounds, and fostering personal growth.
A Little About Me
I earned my Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from the University of St. Thomas. I have spent years providing therapy to children, adults and parents providing a safe place for support.
Outside of therapy, you’ll find me exploring the outdoors—hiking, biking, and camping as ways to recharge. I also love traveling, experimenting with new recipes, and spending quality time with loved ones.
Let’s Begin Your Journey
Taking the first step toward therapy can feel daunting, but you don’t have to do it alone. If you’re ready to start healing, growing, and creating the life you deserve, I’d be honored to support you. Let’s connect!
