Before founding New Moon Therapy, Miranda embarked on her journey in the field of mental health as an outpatient clinic therapist on Long Island, NY. Over several years, she immersed herself in various levels of care, including outpatient, inpatient, and partial programs, gaining invaluable experience in diverse therapeutic settings. It was during this time that Miranda's passion for working from a holistic care perspective began to take root.

Concurrently, Miranda also delved into private practice in Queens, NY, where she discovered her deep-seated passion for working with individuals from a holistic standpoint, particularly in the realm of grief and loss.
