About Mia:

Have ever been told to “practice self-love” but had no idea how to begin or what that even means? This doesn’t make you incompetent; we just weren’t taught that as kids!

 

In therapy, we’ll break down these concepts into actionable & easy to follow steps. Whether you struggle with stress from hefty societal expectations, fear of rejection, “fitting in” to feminine spaces as a transwoman, or the immense pressure to curate the perfect social media profile, I will help you break free and find freedom by following your inner voice.

 

I employ an empathetic and collaborative approach with adult & adolescent clients, utilizing techniques from a variety of counseling theories including person-centered and CBT. I focus on creating a safe, affirming environment to work towards your unique goals and celebrate each small success along the way.

 

I am passionate about working to empower individuals who struggle with self-esteem, body image, social anxiety, and life transitions. True to any team member at The Mind Parlor, I also aspire to make high quality care more accessible to the LGBTQIA+ community and enjoy helping transgender clients, especially transwomen, navigate the unique and exceptional pressures & beauty standards laid out by our culture in the US.

 

I firmly believe you have the power to create the life you’ve always wanted and I would love the opportunity to work together as a team towards becoming the most healthy and authentic version of yourself!

Fee: $65 per 50-minute session
