Mia King

My communication style

I value open communication and work to create a safe, compassionate, non-judgmental therapeutic space. Empathy and respect are essential components of my communication style, as well as gentle accountability. As we navigate through challenging topics, you can expect me to be calm, patient, and validating.

My journey to mental healthcare

As a double minority, I am no stranger to the anxiety, depression, and trauma that often accompany this experience. I became a therapist to destigmatize mental health, helping individuals and families to overcome generational difficulties and traumas through a safe, non-judgmental, validating treatment space.

My goals for you

Within the first few sessions, we will examine life currently as well as explore potential influences from the past, like family dynamics, childhood, and trauma. Together we will then develop treatment goals that are meaningful and important to you, adjusting them as necessary as you gain insight about yourself along the way.

Our first session

A first session will essentially feel like an introductory conversation with a lot of questions! Trust must be developed for an effective therapeutic relationship, so I am very big on autonomy. I like to follow your lead while also gathering information about family and social life, current functioning, and past experiences and trauma.
