Work with me
Hi, I’m Miriam Brait, a psychologist and trauma-informed practitioner who helps high-functioning individuals heal attachment wounds, leave survival mode behind, and build relationships that feel emotionally safe instead of emotionally consuming.
My clients are intelligent, capable, and deeply self-aware. From the outside, their lives often look functional. Internally, however, they may struggle with hypervigilance, anxious attachment, emotional loneliness, overthinking, people-pleasing, or a persistent feeling that love, safety, and self-worth must be earned.
If you constantly find yourself analyzing relationships, overworking on yourself, or repeating painful relational patterns despite years of insight and self-development, this work may resonate with you.
I may be the right person for you if:
you are highly self-aware, but still find yourself repeating the same painful relationship dynamics
you struggle to relax, feel emotionally safe, or stop anticipating rejection, abandonment, or disconnection
your self-worth is heavily tied to performance, achievement, validation, or being needed by others
you grew up in an emotionally neglectful, unpredictable, critical, or abusive environment and now see how it continues to shape your relationships and sense of self
you intellectualize your emotions, consume a lot of psychology or self-help content, yet still feel emotionally stuck
you tend to overfunction in relationships by rescuing, caretaking, overexplaining, or abandoning your own needs
you are drawn to emotionally unavailable, inconsistent, or difficult partners and want to understand why
you understand attachment theory conceptually, but still struggle to feel secure in practice
you are exhausted from living in a constant state of emotional monitoring, self-analysis, or hypervigilance
you want deeper relational healing, not just coping strategies or surface-level advice
My work focuses on helping clients understand the unconscious relational patterns and survival strategies that developed early in life and continue to shape how they relate to themselves and others today.
The final goal goes beyond understanding, is accessing little by little the hidden resources within you to learn how self regulate, regain self trust and finally open yourself up to relationships that feel good, and no longer resolve around need to constantly earn love.
My approach is attachment-focused, trauma-informed, and depth-oriented. I integrate elements from psychodynamic psychology and attachment theory.

Q&A
Where are all of the sessions held?
All sessions take place on a private, secure healthcare platform. You will receive a personal link before your first appointment.
What happens in the first sessions? What should I expect?
In the beginning, we take time to get to know each other. We explore what brings you here, but the pace is always set by you.
Typically, we start by uncovering your current psychological map and how it has served you so far. We may also talk about your goals and how I plan to help you reach them.
What’s your communication style or attitude? Who speaks the most? How do we interact with each other?
My style is active, attuned, and structured. I offer gentle but direct guidance that helps you see patterns clearly and make meaningful change.
I guide my clients beyond the typical “How does this make you feel?” as the nature of the modalities I use is different than regular coaching or talk therapy, but I also allow my clients to speak their minds and create space for them to shed their burdens.
