Miqveh Steinhart, LICSW

I am a clinical social worker licensed in Massachusetts, Rhode Island and Connecticut.

I received my undergraduate degree in psychology from Pepperdine University in Malibu, CA and my Master’s degree in Social Work from Boston College in Boston, MA. I also have a certificate in Conflict Management from Pepperdine University’s School of Law, Straus Institute. I have a wide range of experience working with adults with various mental health challenges which includes a few years of experience working at Mclean Hospital providing services to clients all over the hospital struggling with anxiety, depression, obsessive-compulsive disorders, psychosis, mood disorders, and substance use.

I specialize in working with individuals struggling with anxiety related to complicated life transitions, stressors related to work/school, self-esteem concerns, and relationship issues. I help people struggling to find their balance or prioritize themselves in complex situations while tackling issues that come up such as perfectionism, indecision, fear of failure or judgment and/or social pressure from loved ones. I look forward to building an authentic connection with each person I work with.

As a Black woman, I understand the importance of being seen and heard in spaces that have not always been inclusive. I strive to create a therapeutic relationship where clients feel safe, affirmed, and empowered in their identities.

I utilize a collaborative approach, providing a safe, nonjudgmental space for clients to be able to openly express themselves and work through challenges that may be interfering with them reaching their goals.

My clinical approach integrates a range of evidence-based practice methods (cognitive-behavioral therapy, acceptance commitment therapy, motivational interviewing, mindfulness practices, etc).

I believe every individual has their own unique purpose as found through the journey of exploring one’s values, assessing one’s strengths and the process of navigating life’s challenges.
