Meet Dr. Nadeau (she/her)

Licensed Psychologist & owner of Panorama Therapy

I am a relationship-focused psychologist serving adults, couples, and groups, and I’m passionate about helping people tap into their strengths to craft a life worth celebrating.

I already know you are worthy of a life full of joy. You are innately deserving of love and compassion, though you may have been told that you aren’t enough. Just as a modest acorn contains all it needs to become a hearty oak tree, all you need to grow is already within you. My specialties include affirming LGBTQ+ therapy and multiracial therapy, especially for Asian Americans, focused on your relationships with others and with yourself. I’m excited to learn more about you.

I am a Licensed Psychologist in the states of Texas (#38521), Colorado (#PSY.0006542), and New Jersey (#35SI00684000) and am able to see clients in Florida (#TPPY2887) too. I am also authorized to practice across jurisdictions in 30+ other states through PSYPACT (#6163).

I earned my doctor of philosophy (Ph.D.) in Counseling Psychology at the University of Texas at Austin and completed my doctoral internship at the Texas A&M University Student Counseling Service. Previously, I received a master’s degree from UT Austin and received a bachelor’s degree in Psychology from Rice University. These days I am unlearning and decolonizing my mind & body of knowledge so I can really meet you where you are and provide affirming, human-to-human therapy.

I’ve trained in several therapies, including experiential, somatic approaches; acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT); dialectical behavior therapy (DBT); trauma-informed care; Internal Family Systems (IFS); Buddhism-informed approaches to psychotherapy; advanced couples therapy; and psychedelic-assisted therapy (specifically the MAPS MDMA protocol). In my work with clients, I blend these therapies together with a client-centered, relational cultural, and feminist approach, customizing the therapy experience for each new person I sit down with.

At Panorama Therapy, I provide inclusive therapy in Texas, Colorado, New Jersey, and Florida. 

LGBTQ+ therapy

Counseling offices are not always safe or accessible for queer and trans folks. As a cisgender, lesbian/pansexual, queer therapist, I am on a mission to make psychotherapy accessible, safe, and affirming for all. Within our relationship, I’ll create a comfortable environment in which all of your intersecting identities are honored and appreciated, no explanations or education necessary. I am also a signer of the Gender Affirming Letter Access Project (GALAP) pledge. Read more about this commitment and gender therapy at Panorama Therapy.

Get personal with Miranda Nadeau, Ph.D.

My multicultural, feminist approach is informed by my own life experience growing up as a queer, multiracial woman of color in a bicultural, immigrant household. I spent much of my childhood traveling and living abroad, which has both informed my work and left me with the insatiable desire to discover. I love immersing myself in the richly varied cultures of our world. I practice anti-racism, and I stand with Black Lives Matter and oppressed peoples worldwide. I learned early on that our diverse identities, upbringings, languages, traditions, ancestry, and heredity have a profound impact, and I consider a client’s legacy, life, and intersecting identities as part of the change process. When I am not with clients, I can be found making fun crafts, playing nerdy board games, tending to my plants (the love is real), or plotting my next international adventure.

Research-based practice

I pursued a Ph.D. because I wanted to understand the why behind every intervention—why does this work and that doesn’t? What does the scientific process have to say about how we heal? My therapy practice is informed by my experience poring over existing research and leading my own research studies. I have published numerous peer-reviewed research articles, presented at national psychology conferences, and continue to serve as a reviewer for research journals. I am a former member of Phi Beta Kappa and Phi Kappa Phi and a former Fellow of the William C. Powers Graduate Fellowship. In the past I have collaborated with researchers at the University of Texas, Rice University, University of Houston, the University of Texas Health Science Center in Houston, and beyond.
