Connection

Hope
Welcome!
I’m Mia (she/her). I am an integrative psychotherapist and polyvagal theory trainer and consultant at the Psychotherapy and Spirituality Institute, with an office in Tarrytown, NY.
I believe that we’re all doing the best we can, but that the modern world is challenging and it’s often difficult to thrive without adequate external supports. I’m here to help you get to know yourself better, identify and advocate for your needs, and feel less alone on this journey.
I am a compassionate, open-minded, and non-judgmental therapist with a warm presence and sense of humor. Listening deeply to my clients is my #1 priority—I have great respect for anyone who tries therapy and believe we are all the experts of our own nervous systems. Together, we’ll figure out what support you need to start moving towards the life you want and deserve.
Expertise Areas
Integrating Mind, Body, and Spirit
Polyvagal Theory
Polyvagal Theory is one way to understand and work with our autonomic nervous system that I have found hugely beneficial, both personally and professionally. I am a co-trainer for Deb Dana’s Foundations of Polyvagal Informed Practice. In addition to using a polyaval theory-informed approach in my psychotherapy sessions, I offer individual and small group consultations for practitioners who want to further their learning following a training or workshop. I am also an SSP Provider.
Healing the Healers
Millenial/Gen Z Women's Health
I work with a number of women in their 20s and 30s who aren’t resonating with the NY rat race and want to figure out how to slow down. My integrative medicine approach helps women gain a deeper understanding of how their physical wellbeing impacts their mental health (& learn to advocate for their needs to other providers). Reach out if you want to explore how to foster more connection in your life—to yourself, in your relationships, or through contemplative practices.
College/Grad School and Beyond
I draw upon my decade of experience working in Higher Education to support college and grad students, and recent graduates navigate this complex period of life. As someone who completed 3 graduate degrees and one meaty dissertation, I have an in-depth understanding of the stressors involved in graduate school. I enjoy working with students who are in the performing arts and helping professions, as well as a variety of other fields.
What is integrative psychotherapy?
I believe in the power of psychotherapy to heal and change our lives. I also strongly feel that other healing modalities can be wonderful supports, whether contemplative practices such as meditation, yoga and other movement practices, functional medicine, herbalism, nutrition, acupuncture, TCM, homeopathy, massage therapy, and somatic therapies. I integrate complementary approaches into my psychotherapy work and recommend adjunct services to my clients, where appropriate. My aim is to help you build a supportive team so you can heal more fully and expand your future. I am a Certified Integrative Mental Health Professional (CIMHP), which means that I am trained to understand our bodies as a whole, connecting both mental and physical symptoms and solutions. I am happy to speak with your other integrative providers to communicate my findings and recommendations, and come up with a collaborative plan.
Fees & Insurance
While I am not an in-network provider for any insurance plans, I provide monthly superbills, so you can take advantage of out-of-network benefits. My fee is $225 for a 50-minute psychotherapy session (some sliding scale spots are available for young adults and students). Please contact me for individual and group polyvagal consultation rates.
What are out-of-network benefits?
Insurance companies often cover a percentage of the cost of services with therapists/doctors etc. that aren’t directly affiliated (“in-network”) with them. I can do a basic check to let you know if you have out-of-network benefits before we get started and walk you through what questions to ask your insurnace company if you want to call them for more detailed information about your coverage.
What is a superbill?
My full fee is due every week following our session, then at the end of the month I’ll give you a “superbill” detailing how much you’ve paid. You submit this to your insurance company (you can use the insurance company’s portal or the “Reimbursify” app) and they will send you a check for whatever percentage they said they’d cover. For certain insurances I am able to submit the superbill for you using our practice’s online system.
