Mia DeSoto

My communication style

I bring a warm, engaging presence to therapy, creating a comforting and healing environment. My approach centers on encouragement, validation, empathy, and compassion—ensuring you feel genuinely heard, understood, and supported throughout our work together.

My journey to mental healthcare

From a young age, I’ve been naturally intuitive, caring, and empathetic, someone friends and family turned to for guidance and a listening ear. That instinct to help others inspired my path into social work and forensics, both of which I’ve deeply valued. Now, I’m returning to my first passion: individual therapy.

My goals for you

I view goal setting as a collaborative and essential part of the therapeutic process. Goals offer clarity and direction, help track progress, and foster active engagement in therapy. They should be personalized, specific, measurable, achievable, and adaptable to your needs.

Our first session

My goal is to create a comfortable, safe space where you feel welcomed and heard. In our first session, I’ll help ease any awkwardness or anxiety, and explain what to expect. This session is an opportunity for us to get to know each other—I’ll answer your questions and ask a few of my own to better understand what brings you to therapy.
