Marie Miao(She/Her/Hers)

Marie Miao is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker located in CA. She is passionate about helping women as they navigate major life transitions and seek clarity, wellbeing, and resilience. Sometimes, when changes occur in one’s life, it makes them take a look at what’s working and what’s not working for them. This is a natural time to begin a relationship with a therapist like Marie, who specializes in helping people discover their authentic selves and combat anxiety, perfectionism, fear, and self-doubt. She often works with people who are high-achievers who want to start putting their own needs first.

Marie practices with an integrative approach with her experience in different trauma-focused approaches from Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy, Brainspotting, Creative Expression, and Somatic Methods. All of which are used to overcome difficult and even painful memories and their associated distress. Clients process through what’s holding them back from feeling comfortable, and break free of harmful patterns, such as the patterns that stem from low self-esteem. Clients learn how to express themselves through words and creativity, practicing self-care and growing through their transitions. Marie’s approach establishes a sense of balance in the mind, body, soul, and heart.

Marie’s goal, as a therapist, is to help clients find more joy in their lives and to help them establish balanced, healthy lives. She is an integrative and creative therapist who enjoys bringing fun into her sessions, breaking the ice with humor.
