Miriam Murphy-Gary, LPC

Miriam is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who has been practicing as a mental health therapist providing trauma-informed individual and group therapy for survivors of sexual violence since beginning her internship with Bridging Hope in May of 2022. She graduated with a M.S. in Clinical Counseling Psychology in 2023, and gas been in her role as a full-time therapist with Bridging Hope since then.

In January 2024 she started working with survivors through the Sexual Assault Kit Initiative (SAKI) to provide therapy and assist with trial preparation for survivors whose cold cases are being revisited, and who are facing court against their offender many years after their assault was reported.

Her style with clients is collaborative, and it’s important to her to develop genuine relationships with the people she works with. Miriam’s lens is person-centered, strengths-based, anti-oppressive, and trauma-informed. She is trained in multiple evidence-based modalities including: EMDR, DBT, CBT, Expressive Arts, Equine-Assisted Psychotherapy, and she likes to incorporate elements of neuroscience and humor in sessions.
