Miriam Barillas, PsyD is a dedicated clinician and advocate that has made it her mission to center culture, language, and community in everything she does.

Throughout her training at the California School of Professional Psychology, Dr. Barillas completed impactful practicum work at Harbor UCLA Medical Center and Family Service of Long Beach—experiences that helped shape her creative, empathetic, and relational approach to care. Whether co-facilitating her first group in a dual diagnosis program or using Uno to build connection with a disengaged child, she embodies the philosophy: meet clients where they are.

Her work is a reminder that cultural identity, heritage, and language are not just background details—they are central to healing. We are proud to spotlight Dr. Barillas and her incredible contributions to our collective goal of creating community-anchored mental health services.
