About Me
Miranda Emanuel, MA, LMFT
I am a bilingual (Spanish/English) seasoned practitioner, with a decade of experience as a clinical psychotherapist and expert immigration psychological evaluator. I obtained my Master's Degree in Counseling Psychology from John F. Kennedy University. I have extensive experience serving diverse client groups, offering various psychological services tailored to each client’s specific needs. One of my specialties is immigration evaluations (Cancellation of Removal, I-601/I-601A Extreme Hardship Waiver, U-Visa, VAWA, T-Visa, and Asylum Cases) and I have written over 400 successful evaluations for my clients. Being the child of an immigrant, I have a profound understanding of the difficulties encountered during the immigration process. I am dedicated to assisting individuals and families as they navigate this complex journey.
Another area of expertise and personal interest for me is trauma therapy. For the past eight years, I've served as the primary psychotherapist for adults at a crisis support center for domestic violence and sexual assault survivors. My experience is extensive in working with individuals who have a history of abuse either in childhood or adulthood. I hold a certification as a Trauma-Informed Sex Positive Therapist and am trained in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing).
My work, which is deeply rooted in my passion, is continually fueled by the resilience and healing potential I witness in others. I find immense fulfillment in empowering people of all genders, particularly in helping them regain their confidence and strength after experiencing trauma.
Outside of my work as a therapist, I am a mother, nature lover, and exercise enthusiast.
