Registered Clinical Social Work Intern
(She/They)

Mia-Jeanne believes that healing begins with open and honest conversations. Whether you are facing personal struggles, relationship challenges, or simply seeking self-discovery, Mia-Jeanne is here to support you on your journey towards emotional well-being. She integrates techniques such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness-Based Therapy, and Strength-Based Counseling to help clients develop coping strategies and build resilience. Mia-Jeanne tailors therapy to meet each client’s unique needs, ensuring a supportive space for them to explore their thoughts, emotions, and personal growth.
 

She has a particular focus on the lasting effects of childhood trauma into adulthood. This approach can help individuals break free from past patterns and cultivate healthier relationships with themselves and others.
 

In addition to her therapeutic training, Mia-Jeanne offers a creative approach to her work, believing that self-expression through creative outlets can be transformative in the healing process. By tapping into the imagination, clients are able to explore their feelings in ways that may not be accessible through words alone. This creative component serves as a powerful tool for individuals to gain clarity and work through unresolved emotions.

By blending traditional therapeutic methods with creative healing techniques, Mia-Jeanne’s approach to emotional well-being goes beyond conventional therapy, providing clients with an enriching and healing experience.

Specializations:

As a registered clinical social work intern, I have specialized training and experience in working with individuals and families across the lifespan, focusing on the following areas:

​

  • LGBTQIA+: I am committed to creating a safe and affirming space for individuals who identify as LGBTQIA+, providing support and guidance on issues related to identity, self-expression, and relationships.
     

  • Substance Use: Supporting individuals dealing with substance use issues, offering strategies for recovery and coping mechanisms.
     

  • Depression and Anxiety: I have extensive training in cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and mindfulness-based interventions to help individuals manage symptoms of depression and anxiety, and develop coping strategies for improved mental health.
     

  • Grief and Loss: I understand the complexities of grief and loss, and am equipped to provide support and guidance to individuals and families navigating these challenging experiences.
     

  • Family and Relationships: I work with individuals, couples, and families to strengthen relationships, improve communication, and resolve conflicts.
     

  • Parenting and Co-Parenting: I provide guidance and support to parents and co-parents on issues related to parenting styles, co-parenting dynamics, and child development.
     

  • Trauma: I am trained in trauma-informed care and have experience working with individuals who have experienced trauma, including those who have engaged in self-harm or substance use as a coping mechanism.
     

  • Substance Use: I understand the complexities of substance use and provide support and guidance to individuals seeking recovery, as well as those struggling with addiction.

Modalities:

  • Person-Centered: I believe in creating a safe and non-judgmental space for individuals to explore their thoughts, feelings, and experiences. I prioritize empathy, understanding, and empowerment.
     

  • Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT): I use CBT techniques to help individuals identify and challenge negative thought patterns, develop coping skills, and improve emotional regulation.
     

  • Mindfulness: I incorporate mindfulness-based interventions to help individuals develop greater self-awareness, reduce stress, and increase resilience.
     

  • Play Therapy: I incorporate this evidence-based approach that helps children express their thoughts, feelings, and experiences through play—their natural language. Play therapy provides a safe and supportive environment where children can explore emotions, develop coping skills, and work through challenges in a way that feels engaging and empowering.
