Miriam Brisley

Miriam Brisley is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania who believes meaningful change is possible when people are ready to do the challenging, sometimes uncomfortable work that growth requires. She offers steady support to help clients move toward the person they want to become and to build momentum toward goals that matter to them.

With 17 years of experience, Miriam’s work is especially rooted in helping individuals understand trauma and the many ways it can shape thoughts, emotions, relationships, and daily life. She approaches trauma as a broad and deeply personal experience, and she takes care to honor each client’s story without minimizing what they have been through. Her aim is to help clients feel more empowered, strengthen coping skills, and reconnect with their own sense of agency.

Miriam holds bachelor’s and master’s degrees in Professional Counseling from Toccoa Falls College and Liberty University. She has spent most of her career working with adults from diverse backgrounds, with a strong emphasis on creating a space that feels safe and welcoming. Her style is eclectic and trauma-informed, drawing from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Client-Centered Therapy, and she is also certified in Cognitive Processing Therapy, a structured, evidence-based approach often used to work through the impact of traumatic experiences.

Outside of counseling, Miriam is a mom, stepmom, dog mom, caregiver, and a survivor herself. She enjoys cooking, traveling, and bringing creativity into everyday life at home.
