Welcome!
I’m Mia (she/her). I am an integrative psychotherapist and polyvagal theory consultant at the Psychotherapy and Spirituality Institute, with an office in Tarrytown, NY.
I believe we’re all doing the best we can, but 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 believe we are all the experts of our own nervous systems. My eclectic approach draws upon not only my extensive therapeutic training, but also my experiences with integrative medicine, herbalism, meditation, Buddhism, sound healing, evolutionary astrology, and tarot.
Healing Body, Mind, 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 trainer for Deb Dana’s Foundations of Polyvagal Informed Practice and offer both in-person and online 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
The past few years have been extra challenging for many healthcare and wellness providers. I love supporting other psychotherapists, as well as bodyworkers and other integrative professionals. If you’re recovering from burnout, want to learn how to honor your own needs, or are trying to improve your work-life balance, I’m here to help you fill your cup! I particularly enjoy working with providers who are Highly Sensitive People.

Millenial/Gen Z Women's Health
I work with a number of women in their 20s and 30s who are over 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 & spiritual wellbeing impacts their mental health. Reach out if you want to explore how to foster more connection in your life—to yourself, in your relationships, or through contemplative practices.
-
Evolutionary Astrology
Evolutionary Astrology is an empowering approach to psycho-spiritual exploration that fosters self-awareness and soul growth. I believe it can be a powerful complement to therapeutic work and am enrolled in a certification program through Steven Forrest’s FCEA. If you want a more positive view of Mercury retrograde, a therapist who supports your spiritual life, or you’re an astrologer looking for a provider who speaks your language, reach out.
What is Integrative Psychotherapy?
I address mental and physical and spiritual health
I am a Certified Integrative Mental Health Professional (CIMHP), which means that I am trained to understand our bodies as a whole, connecting mental, physical, and spiritual symptoms and solutions. I know how frustrating it can feel to be told that something is “all in your head,” “you’re hormonal,” or “you just need to reduce your stress.” In reality, we are complex beings and often might be struggling due to an environmental stressor, psychological trigger, hormonal imbalance, AND challenging spiritual season! I look at the interplay of these areas to help clients heal more deeply and permanently.
I integrate other modalities into the healing process
I believe in the power of sharing and being deeply heard: talking with a therapist we feel safe with can heal and change our lives. I also feel that talk therapy is often enhanced by drawing upon other modalities and so I integrate polyvagal-informed somatic exercises, sound healing, mindfulness, Buddhist wisdom, astrology, tarot, and psychoeducation about nutritional and herbal supports into my work.
I collaborate with other providers
I often recommend clients visit a bodywork provider (acupuncturist, chiropractor, craniosacral or polarity therapist), try nutritional/herbal supports (under the guidance of a functional medicine doctor, nutritionist, herbalist, naturopath, or homeopath), or explore energy medicine (such as reiki, shamanic healing, flower essences). My aim is to help you build a supportive team so you can heal more fully and expand your future. I am happy to speak with your other integrative providers to communicate my findings and recommendations, and come up with a collaborative plan.
In-person therapy in Tarrytown, NY
Curl up on the loveseat, choose the rocking chair if you’re feeling anxious, and let me make you a cup of tea. Therapy can involve hard, deep work, but I believe it starts with feeling comfortable and safe—both with the therapist and in the space. This is your hour, free of responsibilities, to look after yourself.
