Dr. Miriam Ehrensaft is a licensed psychologist based in Durham, NC, serving residents in North carolina and New York. She specializes in work with children, adolescents, young adults and their families.

“My work as a child and young adult psychologist reminds me every day how important strong family relationships are for young people and their families’ well being. I work with care and respect to understand the whole context of individual or family struggles, and match their needs with evidence based therapies, particularly cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness strategies, and parent management training.

Before launching my own practice, I worked with young people and families for several years at Columbia University Medical Center, in private practice in NYC, and later at Duke University in the Department of Psychiatry & Behavioral Sciences, where I remain on faculty in teaching and training capacities. It has been an honor to work with countless children, adolescents and young adults in community and hospital settings for over 20 years.”
