Miriam Rubino, LMFT
Expressive Arts and Somatic Psychotherapist and Psychedelic Assisted Therapist
San Rafael CA
I work from a collaborative and integrative approach, respecting and supporting your unique expression, preferences and values. Consent is a big part of the experience to provide a truly safe space for your healing. I know a few things that I love to practice, but ultimately, I do what works for you. With careful consideration, we agree on which of the modalities and tools I am trained in fit your situation best.
Integration is a big part of what I bring, as I aim to help you bridge your insights between the spiritual and the ordinary, the process of transforming the ineffable to the everyday. My main objective is to support you achieving a state of wellbeing, so you can feel safe enough, empowered, and live a more fulfilling live; so you love yourself more.
I am a proud South American woman of mixed ancestry with extensive training and a passion to help clients feel more whole, connected, re-discover their inner wisdom and overcoming current challenges due to depression, anxiety, grief, life transitions, relationship issues, abuse and/or trauma. As a fellow human in this life journey, I am a firm believer that everyone has capacity to heal. Through my work, training and personal experience, I developed a deep appreciation for the use of the arts and embodied practices as healing modalities, therefore if you work with me, you’ll see me use many experiential therapies to support your goals. Over two decades of international living and working across diverse cultures as an artist, helper, mentor—from Latin America to East Africa—have enriched my understanding and honed my ability to navigate the liminal spaces between the practical and the profound, with as much ease as possible, a healthy sense of humor, and an open heart.
The focus of my practice is supporting people to access their inner wisdom, and resolve life challenges and mental health issues, which is sometimes a very vulnerable process.
I offer individual, in person Psychedelic-Somatic Interactional Therapy (Cannabis and/or Ketamine-assisted), Ketamine-Assisted Therapy and Psychedelic Integration Therapy through Embodied Approaches, in an intimate and cozy therapy office. Online services are offered if appropriate.
