Miranda West, LCSW, Founder

My Passion & Focus

I founded Lunara as a passion to help women get the specialized support that is so lacking in mental health (and healthcare in general). I’ve worked in therapy for so many years, and saw women getting dismissed or given false diagnoses in situations relating to their hormones, and decided to start my own practice where we take the whole woman into account: hormones, life phases, nutrition, sleep, etc. when addressing mental health concerns.

My Approach

Every modality I use is trauma-based and evidence-informed. I lead therapy with enthusiasm and have your goals in front of me for each session so we always have a clear, goal-driven direction rather than relying solely on unstructured conversation. Each session is tailored to your individual needs.

Credentials & Background

I have my Master’s Degree in Social Work and my Bachelor’s in Recreational Therapy, so I bring both evidence-based frameworks and experiential tools into our work according to individual client needs. I dedicated the time in my Master’s program to working with women, understanding their unique needs, and giving them a safe, specialized space to heal.
