Drew Mirman completed a Master of Arts degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from the University of Southern California after graduating from the University of Michigan with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Women’s Studies. She has been an active member with NAMI, the National Alliance on Mental Illness, and a committed mental health provider, with experience in residential treatment facilities and intensive outpatient programs. Drew has a deep dedication to working with individuals impacted by addiction, trauma, depression, and anxiety that is complicated by negative messaging and what is often called "low self-esteem." She is experienced in working with persons impacted by interpersonal violence and leans into an eclectic mix of approaches to forge trust and rapport.

Through compassion, empathy, and authenticity, Drew encourages her clients to explore their internal landscape and value systems to find where they get “stuck” and the thoughts and beliefs that inhibit healing. Moving beyond the tools developed through Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), she understands that each individual has their own story, experiences, and worldview, and encourages her clients to come into their sessions just as they are - encouraging acceptance of their story and what makes them unique. Using an individualized and integrative approach, Drew strives to support her clients in reconnecting to their authentic self. When she isn't researching and reading, Drew enjoys her friends and family. She is fluent in French and has a creative spirit.
