Facilitated by: Miriam Kirscht,
LMSW, experienced psychotherapist and theatre artist

Picture
​​I offer a unique blend of play and therapy, which I have developed through over 20 years of experience as a theatre artist and mental health professional.  I hold Masters' degrees in both theatre and social work, and have treated a wide variety of clients in outpatient clinics, residential programs, corrections, and community mental health.  I have also been an actor and a playwright, and have firsthand knowledge of the healing properties of theatre and theatre games.  Improvisation is a place to become fully yourself in the moment, without fear.
