My journey with Mia has been an extraordinary and transformative experience. She introduced me to NARM, which felt like discovering a map to the inner workings of my psyche. The deeper we explored, the clearer my understanding became about the connection between my past traumas and present behaviors. With Mia's patient guidance, I started unraveling the layers of self-sabotage that had kept me stuck for years. But her therapy did more than just help me regulate my emotions; it connected me to my authentic self, something I'd lost sight of in the chaos of daily life. This rediscovered connection brought about profound changes, not just within me, but in my relationships as well. And the most beautiful part is, through this journey, I discovered a purpose that truly aligns with who I am at my core.
I think you can feel that you are entering a safe place where you are free to be who you are. Mia is good to talk to and to get you to realize what thoughts and feelings happen in the body and in the mind when responding to certain situations. Thank you so much for a good cooperation.
After years of depression, feeling empty, and being depressed, I finally got myself together to start therapy. I had never opened up to anyone before. Already after my first session with Mia, she showed an amazing kind of security and empathy that resulted in me being able to freely express my feelings and get a completely different view of my problems such as, has helped me a lot in my development with the fight against depression. Mia has great empathy and care, together with her broad professionalism, it creates a sense of security that helps to dig deep into your deep self and helps to solve your problems that you never thought could be solved.
Working with Mia has been life-altering, to say the least. At first, I was unsure of what to expect, but with her guidance, I started uncovering layers of my psyche I hadn't even known existed. The more we delved into my past traumas, the clearer the link became between them and my current behavior. With this newfound understanding, I was able to break the cycle of self-sabotage that had kept me stuck for years. But Mia's therapy didn't just stop at managing my emotions; it connected me to my authentic self. This connection created a ripple effect, enhancing my relationships and giving me a sense of purpose I'd never felt before. If you're seeking therapy, look no further. Mia's approach could well be the compass you need to navigate your inner world.
Throughout my therapeutic sessions with Mia, I have always felt welcome and listened to. Mia has demonstrated a high degree of professionalism, courtesy and consideration. At each session, the therapeutic atmosphere has been calm, safeguarding and immersive. This has contributed to the fact that I felt more secure each time and each session has been unfolded with respect and openness by the therapist. Mia always seeks to meet one with the greatest form of humility, and she listen with interest each issue and problem from my side which I bring to the session.
I have repeatedly approached Mia when I needed help to cope with an issue or address the personal problems that both myself and surely many other people struggle with. It has been my experience that I have been understood, listened to and that I have been met with empathy in my particular situation. Therefore, I can only recommend Mia Amini to anyone looking for both skilled and professional treatment
Mia's therapy is a beacon of light for those feeling lost in the turmoil of their emotions. With her guidance in the sessions, I began to see my patterns of self-sabotage for what they were - manifestations of past traumas. As we worked through these issues, I started reconnecting with my authentic self, and it was as if a weight had been lifted. I felt lighter, happier, more connected to myself and others. My relationships slowly and gradually is improving, I stopped doubting myself and my own abilities and I even found a newfound sense of purpose. It was like Mia handed me a roadmap to my own life even though it existed somewhere deep down within me but I was not able to access it.
"The therapy sessions are held in a trustworthy and comfortable room and space. I feel at home and I feel heard - it's a private and safe environment where there is room for all feelings. There's nothing wrong."
"Mia has taught me to accept my feelings and accept the fact that I can not control everything. She has given me tools to move on with my frustrations, which made challenging situations easier and more manageable. She never puts the sentences into my mouth, which opens up my own thoughts and reflections. She is aware that there are different people she works with and thus she introduces her therapy to suit that particular individual. She comes sometimes with good examples from her my own life, which means that I do not feel alone in the world with my struggles and at the same time she shows a sincere interest in helping me resolve my inner conflict. The therapy has also been built on a good chemistry, safety and security I felt during the course of sessions. This has meant that I was more open to share my feelings of vulnerability with her. If you have the courage to dig deeper into yourself - you have come to the right place. Mia will accompany you and it is good to have her with you. I would warmly recommend Mia. "
" My sessions with M.A. have been a space where I could breath easily after a busy day to day life, where there was space and tranquility to reflect on my true feelings and needs. You need a space like this otherwise else it is hard to reach. Mia is incredibly present, good at asking the right questions and "reaching all the way around" about the subject you are talking about. I have been incredibly pleased with my sessions with her and will no doubt recommend her to others.
It was important for me to be not met with prejudices and judgement. It is nice that Mia do not get prejudiced and that Mia has an understanding and empathy that you come from a home where things work a little differently from what is called "normal". What has been important to me is that she first listened to me and tried to understand me. That way, it felt safe and nice to be at therapy with Mia.
Thanks for the cooperation and because you got me back on my feet after my father's death. It has been a tough process to mourn and go through grief but through consultation with you, I was able to reflect, think differently and realize that my father will always be part of me. Because of the help and insight I received through our work, I have made some changes in my life. I feel, I have more energy and is fully focused on what is important here in life for me. I would recommend you to others who need to process grief and loss in a room for a free space to talk openly about everything between heaven and earth.
"Mia is a very trust-building and professional therapist, which has resulted in me experiencing the therapy sessions as being very effective. It helped immensely to be able to talk to an objective person about my challenges, as the conversations with Mia set a lot of thoughts in motion. I learned how to deal with the problems I have struggled with on my own. So Mia has helped me to be able to help myself. My course with Mia has therefore been a real eye-opener, and I highly recommend her to anyone who is going through hard times and need help."
Frequently Asked Question
My standard rate for a therapy session is $200 USD. However, I’m currently not offering the option to book individual, ad hoc sessions.
I work based on a package system. My aim is to ensure sustained engagement and effective progress over time. Instead of single sessions, I offer packages with discounted rates. You can choose from a package of four sessions at a 10% discount, eight sessions at a 15% discount, or twelve sessions with a 20% discount. This approach ensures that we can build on our progress session by session and truly invest in your therapeutic journey.
As a Certified Trauma Psychotherapist, I specialize in childhood and developmental trauma, with a dedicated focus on helping individuals navigate the often challenging journey of unresolved trauma. I am currently expanding my skills through advanced training in the NeuroAffective Relational Model (NARM) under the tutelage of the globally renowned NARM Institute.
Unresolved trauma can greatly impact our lives, often in subtle and less understood ways. It can give rise to self-sabotaging behaviors such as difficulty maintaining relationships, unpredictable mood swings, constant feelings of anger, an overwhelming sense of busyness, or different forms of anxiety. Moreover, it can lead to burnout, overspending, substance abuse, excessive gaming, and compulsive shopping – all of which are mechanisms used to cope with underlying distress.
If these issues resonate with you, or if you’re struggling with a form of distress that’s hard to pinpoint, it might be the right time to consider NARM Therapy.
This transformative therapeutic approach can help unravel the complexities of your experiences, provide clarity, and ultimately foster a sense of healing and wellbeing.
For a deeper understanding of how NARM might support your journey towards healing, I invite you to the section “How I work” on my website.
I don’t have a direct link with insurance companies. However, many of my clients have successfully had their sessions covered by their insurance providers. It might be beneficial for you to discuss this with your insurance company. If you let me know in advance, I can provide you with a receipt that you can then submit to your insurer for reimbursement.
The primary objective of a discovery call is to decide whether we’re the right fit for each other. In this call, you’ll gain insights into my working style, therapeutic methods, and how I plan to handle your unique situation.
We’ll delve into the challenges that are preventing you from reaching your desired goal for self development. I’ll ask questions about your current circumstances, understand why you’re seeking help, and provide feedback on potential strategies via Trauma Therapy. If any questions or uncertainties arise during our conversation, we’ll promptly address them together.
Once we both agree that we’re a good match, I will follow up with an email after our call. This email will contain links to my therapy packages, allowing you to explore the options and select the one that best suits your needs.
Lastly, I’ll give you my professional recommendation on the most beneficial course of action to pursue, ensuring that you receive the precise support you’re looking for.
Before deciding whether I am a good fit for you, it is advisable that you do some research on your own and read about different modalities that different therapists provide. I apply the NARM method and you can read more about the method in my “How I Work” section of my website.
Moreover, if you’re committed to investing the necessary time, money, and energy into your transformation, you’re more likely to see progress.
Therapists who are not specialized in a particular area typically provide general therapy that covers different areas, such as anxiety, depression, and low self-esteem. Trauma therapists, on the other hand, work with a specific modality that addresses the core problem the client is facing.
I am certified as well as specializing in NARM (Neuro Affective Relational Model), a mind/body therapeutic approach. I use this approach when working with individuals who have difficulties with physical and emotional self-regulation, overcoming emotional numbness, poor self-image and toxic shame.
Each person’s journey is unique, but there are common benefits that my clients experience when working with me. Among the most transformative ones are an increased sense of self-compassion and self-awareness. Alongside these, another crucial benefit is a deeper connection to their authentic self – a precious aspect of oneself that often gets disrupted when dealing with trauma.
Working together, we aim to restore this inner connection, helping you to live more authentically, more fully. It’s a rewarding journey, but don’t just take my word for it. Visit the testimonials section on my website to hear firsthand about the profound changes others have experienced in their lives.
Online or In-person 1:1 counseling sessions are 55 minutes.
Once you’ve booked an online session, you will receive a confirmation email. This email will contain all the relevant details, including the date and time of the session, the name of the host, and the Zoom link.
My goal is to ensure a smooth and efficient scheduling process for all my clients. To help you stay on top of your appointments, my system sends two reminders prior to your scheduled session. You will receive the first reminder 48 hours before the session, the second reminder 24 hours before the session, and an SMS message prior to the call.
If, for any reason, you need to cancel or reschedule your session, I kindly ask that you do so at least 24 hours in advance. The system is designed to allow easy cancellation or rescheduling via the confirmation email you receive upon booking. At the bottom of the email, you will find a button that will guide you through the process. As long as the cancellation or rescheduling is done within this 24-hour timeframe, the system will accept the changes.
However, please note that after this 24-hour window, the system will no longer allow cancellations or rescheduling to ensure I can manage my schedule effectively and accommodate other clients’ needs.
Instructions for preparing an Online Session:
- To ensure a smooth start to your session, I recommend logging in at least 5 minutes before the scheduled start time. This will give you enough time to check and confirm that the meeting link and your internet connection is working properly.
- Find a comfortable seating place
- Make sure there are no noise in your surroundings. If you are using your phone for the session, then place your phone on a holder so the movement of the phone do not create distraction in the session.
- If possible, have tissue paper around you.
- Make your environment comfortable and cozy for yourself.
