The person behind the practice.

I'm Dr. Miriam Mason, a licensed psychologist who works with trauma. I founded Hollow Tree Therapy because people who run toward the worst day of someone else's life deserve a room where they can set their own down, without performing and without being fixed. My training spans trauma-focused therapy, Somatic Experiencing, EMDR and attachment theory. What matters more than any credential is steadiness: I can sit with what you bring, and I will not hurry you through it. Before private practice I worked in a hospital behavioral health department and at a community mental health center that served people without much insurance. That shaped how I think about access and respect. Outside the office you will find me hiking Forest Park with my dog, reading poetry or tending a garden that is somewhat out of hand. I think therapists should be fully human too.
