Additionally, she maintained a private practice in Los Angeles, specializing in treating young adults with depression and anxiety.  Dr. Mirabelli has also served as adjunct faculty at Antioch University in Los Angeles where she taught Child and Adolescent Development.  Since moving to Maryland in 2009 with her family, she has continued her work in assessment and therapy with children, teenagers, and adults.
