Mia Garret, LCSW

Mia Garret has helped me manage the transition from a traumatic illness and back into everyday life with compassion and expertise. This could have been a terrible time in my life but Mia has helped me make it one of progress both mentally and professionally. I feel more at ease with myself now than I felt perhaps going into my illness, which I think is a testament to the work we have started and continue to do together. I cannot recommend her enough.

Mia has been absolutely fantastic and I couldn't recommend her more. She's very attentive and great at listening, she helps you really spell out what it is you're trying to describe and she is fantastic at working with you to find your best approaches to dealing with your problems.

Her style is flexible and allows you to be in control of the sessions whilst she guides you. It's clear she is an expert in many fields within therapy and you'll end up feeling x1000 times lighter after your sessions!

She also sends articles about once a week on topics such as mindfulness and understanding emotions which are structured to both help you understand and build helpful habits.

Would 100% recommend!

Mia has been a blessing for my life!

I do resonate with her so much. She can dive deep into me and brings awareness to my blockages and trauma response!

She is very intuitive and kind.

I honestly have no words to describe how much I have evolved in only 1 month.

Thank you Mia

I've been working with Mia for a couple of weeks now and she has made a profound difference on my mental health and overall wellness. This is my first time doing therapy, so I was hesitant in using BetterHelp. Mia immediately made me feel accepted, safe, and welcome. I appreciate that she provides homework after each session and helps me develop the tools I need to navigate personal issues. I cannot recommend her enough.

Mia has changed my life.

A few months ago, when I started with Mia, I was really struggling. From the very beginning, she connected with what I had to say on a deep level - I felt completely heard and valued. She gave me beautiful tools to regain self-trust and to rebuild my life from the inside out.

So much of my life has changed under her guidance - she's even positively impacted elements I thought were already fine. Mia's focus on nurishing the soul and living through love has made my entire reality shine with a joy and luminosity that I've lacked my entire life up until now. To say that she helped me is an egregious understatement. Mia's guidance has allowed me to rediscover myself and to live my life with a glowing, fresh perspective.

She's incredibly easy to talk to, she's kind and uplifting, encouraging and loving. She feels like a friend who always knows just what to say. I honestly can't recommend her enough for the way she has impacted my life. She is an incredible gift to those she serves through this practice, and I cannot express how grateful I am for all that she has done for me.

Mia is a wonderful counselor. She's able to juggle the variety of problems that have occurred in my life, and helped me see some of the root problems. My issues focused more on anxiety and family conflict which she has really helped me handle. She provides great worksheets and is very easy to talk to. I highly recommend using her!

Talking to Mia has been really great. She gives good advice and is caring and compassionate. Her reply times are good, especially since I have never tried the "Mark as Urgent" button, but even without it, she's always replied within the same day without problems.
She's helped me deal with my problems by using comparsions, both from personal experience stories and a more scientifical perspective, but she has also been understanding and seems like she genuinely cares about my problems.
I definitely recommend her as a therapist!

Mia is a genuinely nice person. She's skilled at cutting through the rambling and getting to the core issues.
Talking to her helps me very much, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to anyone. She's great!

Mia has been exceptional in our communications with each other. My relationship with my partner is the best it's ever been thanks to her support with me. My work life is improving and I'm looking forward to solving many other issues within my life so I can be the best version of myself. I would highly recommend her.

Mia Garret is exceptional; a complete credit to the BetterHelp community. I have never worked through my personal issues via counseling before, so this has been a completely novel and somewhat scary journey for me, but Mia has held my (virtual) hand every step of the way. She is calm, compassionate, positive and most importantly - real! It's almost been as if talking to a friend; I have felt so comfortable talking to Mia about things that I quite frankly have never explored before. Mia's listened to everything I've shared and given me a range of strategies and exercises for healing that are personal, workable and tailored to me. She has responded quickly and has checked in with me at points to let me know she's there. For me, I know there is still a long journey of healing ahead, but I also know that I would never have begun to make the progress and reflections needed without Mia's help. She is a gem of our earth and I'd recommend her to anybody! Forever grateful, Mia. Thank you x

Mia has been an absolute gem. I am new to the world of counseling and she has managed to make it such a seamless experience for me. I feel like I'm just chatting with an old friend and getting great advise that is helping shape my life and put a lot of things in perspective. I highly recommend her.
