Mia Pribyl (She/Her)

Most of my experiences have involved the treatment of complex trauma and helping those who have sustained various forms of abuse, trauma, and violence. I also work with clients who may be struggling with anxiety, depression, or relational trauma. Together, we will look more deeply into your background and history to get a full picture of what may be occurring for you. I often use body-based approaches and interventions in the treatment of complex/chronic PTSD, childhood trauma, anxiety, depression, dissociation, and other symptoms stemming from trauma. I tend to use a strengths-based approach and further invite curiosity to explore what has already been helpful, to expand and strengthen the skills developed. I have taken trainings and webinars in somatic experiencing therapy and sensorimotor psychotherapy. I have also obtained some courses in dance and movement therapy. I use a client-centered, whole-person approach, along with the implementation of holistic care and polyvagal theory.

I identify as a Christian. I enjoy going to church and Bible study in my free time. I am incredibly passionate about increasing access to mental health services and raising awareness on mental health conditions through trauma-informed care. I enjoy educating others and raising awareness on domestic violence, intimate partner violence (IPV), and the impacts of trauma on the nervous system. I love learning about mind/body connection and learning about the wisdom of the body. I am motivated towards suicide intervention and prevention. I am also very passionate about social justice. I enjoy health and wellness, such as boxing, walking, running, lifting, exercise, and getting my body moving in a variety of ways. I love being in nature. I enjoy spending time with my friends, family, and cat. I am deeply devoted to providing trauma-informed care through body-based approaches and am enthusiastic about psychology overall. I spend most of my free time soaking up various learning opportunities.
