About

Therapy for genetic risk and caregiving strain

Dr. Miriam Adeyemi holds a PhD in clinical psychology from Emory University and has practiced for eighteen years, the last nine focused on health anxiety related to genetic and biomarker findings.

She developed a structured eight-session protocol for post-disclosure adjustment after observing how many APOE4 carriers spiral into hypervigilant symptom monitoring that itself impairs cognition.

She also runs partner and adult-child sessions, where anticipatory grief and role change are usually the real presenting problem.

Approach

A three-phase model, so you know what happens at each stage and what you leave with.

01

Assessment

An intake distinguishing appropriate concern from hypervigilance, with baseline anxiety and rumination measures.

02

Strategy

An eight-session adjustment protocol combining ACT and cognitive restructuring around uncontrollable risk.

03

Execution

Booster sessions timed to retesting dates, when distress predictably resurfaces, plus family sessions on request.

What clients say

I was checking my own memory twenty times a day. She gave me my life back without pretending the risk isn't real.

Hannah J., Decatur, GA

My wife and I finally talked about what happens next. That took a professional in the room.
