“Beauty was not simply something to behold; it was something one could do.”

— Toni Morrison, The Bluest Eye

The Bluest Iris, PLLC, is the long-held brainchild of Alexandra Miranda-Castillo who prides this private practice in being Black-owned, Latina-owned, Queer-owned, and Woman-owned. This practice, like Alexandra’s services are “for us, by us”. The name of the practice was conceived in inspiration from “The Bluest Eye” by Toni Morrison and “All the Bearded Irises of Life” by Alice Walker. As Alexandra strives to help those suffering from the weight of ugly narratives imposed on them by oppressive systems, she calls on the quote from The Bluest Eye, “Beauty was not simply something to behold; it was something one could do”. The love between queer people has been described as “a revelation” by Alice Walker, “like seeing a bearded iris for the first time”. That is the feeling every client receiving services from The Bluest Iris should walk away with when their time in therapy has concluded.

About Me *

Alexandra Miranda-Castillo is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (or systemic relational therapist, as she likes to call it!), who specializes in helping people from marginalized communities who are struggling with complex trauma to unburden themselves from disempowering social narratives. She is a New Haven native of African-American and Puerto Rican heritage who comes with over 8 years of experience in the mental health field and has been planning to be a relational therapist for even longer. She strives to use culturally responsive, liberatory, and anti-oppressive frameworks to guide healing in marginalized communities. She has served clients from the African diaspora, Latino, South Asian, mixed-race, second and third-generation immigrants, autistic, ADHD, non-monogamous and polyamorous, sex workers, blended families, and more communities. Alexandra calls upon years of personal experience as well as professional experience in therapy clinics, private practice, clubhouse model psychosocial rehabilitation, supported employment, and group home young adult services.
