She encourages a collaborative approach to therapy and hopes to be able to support and empower those she works with.

Prior to her internship at CBC, Mia provided treatment to youth, young adults, and families at Behavioral Associates, utilizing multiple modalities such as CBT, DBT, parent management training (PMT), psychodynamic therapy, biofeedback, and neuropsychological assessment to create individualized treatment plans. As an extern at the Division of Pediatric Hematology/Oncology and Cellular Transplant Cohen Children's Medical Center, she gained extensive insight into the far-reaching challenges faced by those with complex psychological presentations and medical conditions.

There, she worked with children with social, emotional, and behavioral challenges and offered consultation to teachers, parents, and outside providers. Lastly, Mia has participated as a counselor in many intensive group therapy sessions for children with Selective Mutism.

Mia’s research focuses on the barriers to implementing exposure therapy in clinical settings. Specifically, she is exploring the current state of graduate training in exposure therapy, assessing knowledge and attitudes towards exposure, and examining perspectives on novel applications of exposure therapy.
