About

Hello, my name is Mija, pronounced "Maya"! I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Pennsylvania, with 8 years of experience of providing licensed, direct mental health and behavioral health counseling. I have worked with clients in the age range from child, teenager to adult with a wide range of concerns including:

-Perinatal Mood Disorders
-Parenting Issues
-Depression
-Anxiety
-Relationship Difficulties
-Anger Management Issues
-Trauma
-Low Self Esteem
-ADHD
-Substance Use
-Life Changes
-Childhood/Teen Issues

Are you feeling stuck within your current routine? Are you feeling overall unhappiness within your life? Are you caught in a battle with another person and need communication tools to help you improve the relationship? If so, I can help!

My counseling style is warm, interactive, and validating. I believe in treating individuals with respect, sensitivity, humor and compassion. My approach combines Cognitive-Behavioral, Humanistic, Dialectical-Behavioral, and Gestalt, to help guide our work together. I will tailor our discussions and set goals with you, to meet your unique and specific needs. I believe that every person has the strength and ability to live their best life and needs support, validation, and skill building to get there. I am kind, down-to-earth, and honest in my therapy approach. My job is to motivate you to meet your goals.

Are you hoping to feel better and find more hope in your daily life? If so, this is the right step! It takes courage to seek for a more fulfilling and happier life. If you are ready to begin, I am here to support and empower you.

I look forward to working with you!
