  • Improve communication, rebuild trust, and develop healthier patterns in your relationships โ€” whether as a couple or an individual.

  • Navigate career shifts, relocation, loss, identity changes, and other pivotal moments with clarity and resilience.

About the Therapist

Miguel Torres, LCSW

Miguel Torres is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over a decade of experience supporting children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families across clinical, hospital, and school settings in New York and California.

His therapeutic approach blends family systems theory, CBT, and DBT to help clients find the balance between acceptance and change โ€” building skills for distress tolerance and emotional regulation while working toward meaningful goals.

Miguel's professional experience includes Mount Sinai's Child, Adolescent and Family Services Clinic, UCLA Resnick Neuropsychiatric Hospital, Riverdale Country Day School, and Chadwick School. Before entering social work, he served as a bilingual elementary teacher through Teach For America in New York City.
