Mira Fink.

LMSW · New York University · EMDR-Informed

Mira Fink is a New York psychotherapist specializing in trauma, chronic illness, and women’s reproductive health. She earned her Master’s in Social Work from New York University and works with adults, teens, and kids via telehealth across New York State. Her approach is depth-oriented, integrative, and relational: she works with the body, the mind, and the relationship patterns that shape them both. That approach is informed by clinical training and her own experience with chronic illness.

About me.

Part of my focus on trauma, chronic illness, and women’s reproductive health is personal. I’ve lived with chronic illness myself. My experience isn’t a template for anyone else’s, but it taught me how much chronic illness asks of you, and what it means to keep advocating for yourself while you carry it. That experience sharpened my clinical work.

In session, I’m warm and direct. I ask real questions, and if I notice a pattern, I’ll name it. You won’t have to perform here. The work is about understanding yourself well enough to actually change things.

Outside the work.

When I’m not in sessions, something is usually in the oven: sourdough most weekends, cookies or cinnamon rolls when the week calls for them. The rest is long walks, the beach in the off-season, a good sunset watched all the way to the end, and Tucker, who supervises none of it closely. Therapy works better when there’s a person on both sides of the screen.

A few more things about me.

What’s your background and training?

New York University twice over: a Master’s in Social Work from NYU Silver, and a Bachelor of Arts in Child and Adolescent Mental Health Studies. Before private practice, I did child life work with pediatric oncology patients at NewYork-Presbyterian Morgan Stanley Children’s Hospital, and school-based social work with kids, where I helped build a Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) curriculum and provided in-school interventions. I’ve also practiced individual therapy with children, adolescents, and adults, and volunteered on the National Eating Disorders Association (NEDA) crisis chat line. I’m a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) in New York.

Why did you become a therapist?

The honest answer: I wanted to help people, and I know from my own life what it means when someone takes you seriously and helps you understand what’s happening, not just manage it. I became a therapist to be that person for others. Lived experience brought me to this work. Training shaped how I do it.

What kind of client do you work best with?

Insightful, motivated, emotionally aware people who are ready to work at depth. Some are working through old wounds, some are living with health challenges, and some are in the middle of a relationship or life change that’s stirring everything up. Some are parents watching a kid repeat a pattern that isn’t shifting on its own. What they share is a wish to understand why something is happening, not just how to manage it.
