About Mia
Mia Mickenberg is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who has 15 years of experience in the mental health field, working with diverse populations, many different issues, and in various settings, including schools, homes, a college counseling center and a substance abuse prevention center. Mia enjoys working with and has a great deal of experience in counseling youth, adolescents, and adults.
Mia believes that counseling is not a one-size-fits-all process; everyone is different and their counseling process will differ as well. She provides a safe space to explore life experiences and help you to identify and learn new solutions and coping skills for life’s challenges. Through the ebbs and flows of life we can hit hard times. Mia's goal is to help you through these times. It can get better, and counseling can help.
Mia uses a holistic and integrative approach to counseling, because as people we are not just our minds or physical selves but a combination of the two. She draws from various theories and techniques, including but not limited to cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), reality, solution-focused, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing, as well as incorporating the creative arts. Whether you're struggling, or want to work towards thriving and being the best version of YOU, Mia would love to join you on your path.

"I believe one life is a world and I hope that you let me get to know your world, so I can help you to grow."
