I have been working as a licensed psychologist for more than 30 years, providing individual and group psychotherapy to older adolescents and adults within diverse settings, including inpatient and intensive outpatient eating disorder treatment facilities, skilled nursing facilities, college counseling centers, community mental health clinics, and private practice.

Having served as Director of College and Career Services for Oxford College of Emory University, and Dean of Students for New York Film Academy, I have particular passion and expertise for working with college-age adults--helping them navigate the overwhelming life-stage challenges of forging identity, living independently, deciding career and major, cultivating relationships, managing academic demands—while, encouraging them to honor their unique physical and mental health needs.

I believe one of the bravest things you can do is begin to understand your own story. The ideal client is open, courageous, and dedicated to their personal growth. They engage in therapy with honesty, ready to explore and understand their inner world. Embracing change with a patience and self-compassion, they can recognize that healing is a journey. Life is too precious to spend in bad relationships, holding grudges, letting trauma control us, or feeling anxious and angry. Together, we can create a supportive and safe space to work towards a healthier, happier self.

My name is Mia Hollenbach and I received my Master's Degree from Columbia University. I am clinically licensed in both New York and New Jersey and have 8 years of professional experience. I would describe my therapeutic style as warm, affirming, non-judgmental & rooted in compassion.

I prioritize creating a safe and nurturing environment where clients can explore their thoughts and feelings without judgment.

You deserve to live a life that leaves you excited to wake up every morning! Taking the first step to seeking a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage and I'm here with you every step of the way.

I hold compassionate, knowledgeable, and supportive space where you will feel welcome and safe to explore and access deeply-held feelings, release emotional blockages, experience shifts, and gain clarity. I provide warmth as well as direct and honest insight. I have nearly three decades of experience working in various healing and teaching capacities with highly diverse populations of adults, children and families. My approach to therapy is relational and interactive, creating a comforting environment where you feel seen, heard, and develop tools to guide your progress and growth.

I am a New York State licensed clinical social worker who specializes in cognitive behavioral therapy with extensive training in psychotherapy. I work with teens, adults, families and couples, treating issues including anxiety, depression, loss and addiction. In addition to a social work degree from New York University, I also trained at the Institute for Contemporary Psychotherapy in its Family and Couples Treatment therapy program.

I'm passionate about empowering others to know their true worth, to face their past, their fears or anything else that may be keeping them from living out their God given gifts and purpose. I have had the honor of serving as a counselor in the Capital Region of New York for almost 15 years and 6 years ago opened my own private practice.
