Mia King

Hello there! My name is Mia and I'm a marriage and family therapist who has had experience working with individuals, families, and couples from all walks of life. I believe that a sense of connectedness to others is vital for one’s mental health and enjoy helping clients to restore their sense of connection whether it be within themselves or their relationships. Mental health is my passion, and I am dedicated to helping others overcome their struggles and live life on their own terms. We can’t always change our circumstances however we can change how we choose to exist within them.

I am trained in systems theory and use a systemic approach with my clients. This approach proposes that problems are not within the individual but rather the result of dysfunction within the individual’s greater system. I take into consideration all the environmental factors that may be negatively impacting one’s mental health which often provides a new lens for viewing current issues. I have a very laid back style, validating clients experiences and feelings while challenging them to find and develop current solutions.

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 clients lead while also gathering information about family and social life, current functioning, and past experiences and trauma. My intention is to create a warm, nurturing environment where people feel comfortable to be their authentic self to begin an authentic healing process.
