Mia Falco, AMFT
Associate Marriage and Family Therapist
Like many, my path to therapy started with navigating a difficult upbringing. I was raised in a large and diverse Italian family—Catholic, Christian, Buddhist, and queer identities interwoven in ways that often felt confusing.
In my early twenties, I faced the profound loss of my mother and lacked the tools to process grief. Therapy became a transformative container for healing, identity exploration, and empowerment.
Being human is hard, and I never want you to feel alone on this journey. Whatever you're facing, know that I’m here to walk alongside you through even the most difficult life experiences with care, compassion, and unwavering support.

Areas of focus
At the heart of my work is trauma-informed somatic awareness, gently tuning into the body and creating space for sensations and emotions to arise and be acknowledged. This embodied practice can be a powerful and transformative part of the healing process. And if right now you feel numb, disconnected, or overwhelmed—that’s okay too. We’ll start from exactly where you are.
I love working with both teens and adults. In session, I support you in identifying patterns, behaviors, or past traumas that may be keeping you stuck. Together, we explore the underlying discomfort and unmet needs, inviting them into awareness where they can be processed and healed.
As you connect with these deeper parts of yourself, you may naturally start to feel relief from anxiety, depression, and even physical symptoms. Over time, this process can help you to live more fully and authentically.
