Mia has also worked in various aspects of counseling since 2004 (for over a decade while working simultaneously as a teacher) including with children and adults in private counseling, acute care and in-patient hospitals in the Austin area and in court appointed guardianship investigations for Travis County.

Having extensive exposure and direct interaction with medical influences has added to Mia’s ability to support those with whom she works. Mia ran her own private practice for five years prior to rebranding and forming her practice, Alpine Healing.

CBT, Behavioral and Person-Centered methodologies are Mia’s primary methodologies uses in her approach. Mia strives to provide a warm, inviting and non-judgmental space for all of those who walk into her office.

Mia’s unique experiences with children, adolescents and adults have led her to have a well-rounded and all-encompassing background in order to provide her clients with the best possible counseling services. She has grown through extensive personal and professional experiences with ASD (inclusive of sensory and behavioral issues) and associated family dynamics which furthers her passion for her work. Additionally, Mia is certified in ADOS-2 testing from toddler through adults and is IFS (Internal Family Systems) trained.

Mia enjoys staying up to date with current and relevant therapeutic issues and continuing education issues. When not working with her clients, you will find her spending time with her husband and family, traveling and appreciating many cultures, reading, playing with the family dog “babies”, Kona (Golden Pyrenees), Houdini (Golden Pyrenees) and Suki (English Cream Golden). Mia is also the parent of three young adult children who are each quite unique.
