About
Mariam Parekh is a clinical psychologist practicing in Colorado since 2016 who brings a decade of experience to work with individuals and families facing stress, anxiety, trauma, depression, and relationship challenges. She is licensed in both Colorado and California - CO Psychologist PSY.0004802 and CA Psychologist 34220 - and combines rigorous training with a compassionate, strengths-oriented outlook.
Dr. Parekh earned a PhD from Syracuse University and completed her PhD requirements through placements accredited by the American Psychological Association. Her clinical training includes an internship at White River Junction Veteran Association and Dartmouth University, followed by post-graduate work with Loma Linda Veteran Association. This background supports her competence in areas such as depression, anxiety, trauma, adjustment, and marital counseling.
She uses evidence-based methods to help clients set clear goals and monitor progress, encouraging recognition of measurable change as part of the therapeutic journey. Dr. Parekh emphasizes positive psychology and empowerment, helping people cultivate meaningful relationships with themselves and others rather than viewing distress as evidence of being broken. Outside of her professional life she values time with her son, enjoys reading fantasy to spark creativity, and watches programs focused on body language and therapy. She views the inner child as an important part of personal growth and encourages clients to honor that aspect of themselves.

Evidence-based approaches and online therapy options
Mariam Parekh integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy into online work to address symptoms and practical skills. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression and improve coping with stress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes skills in emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can be helpful for relationship difficulties, intense emotions, and trauma-related challenges.
She approaches treatment collaboratively, exploring which methods align with each person’s needs, goals, and preferences. Determining the right therapeutic approach is part of the process - Mariam helps clients try strategies, track progress, and adjust the plan together with licensed professionals guiding that work.
Online therapy with Mariam offers flexibility in how sessions take place, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life transitions, and access consistent support from a licensed therapist regardless of location within the state.
