Miraya Surya-Keller, AMFT

Life is sprinkled with peaks and valleys. I am grateful to partner with clients to help soften hard edges, find ease with traumatic past events, and connect with their true selves and others. My passion lies in addressing trauma and relational issues and unlocking gentleness and connection within oneself. I believe that trauma can be stored in the body and that body awareness and gentle coping skills can ease triggers and long-term stress. I promote empathy, acceptance and compassion to further harness clients’ strengths and tackle life’s obstacles.

My approach is person-centered as well as relational, emphasizing the client as the expert of their own lives, and my role as a supporter on their journey towards discovering the story they need to tell. I pull from an array of interventions, customized to meet the needs of the client, these include talk therapy, mindfulness-based techniques, somatic therapy, play and art therapy.

I enjoy building collaborative therapeutic relationships with clients and supporting their goals in mental wellness. I have experience working with adolescents and families, and welcome clients – adolescents, couples and families. I appreciate the opportunity to work with you on your special
journey.
