Hi!! I am Mia Royal-Jackson, a Resident in Counseling in Richmond, VA. I hold a Bachelor of Science degree in Psychology with a minor in Social Welfare from Virginia Commonwealth University and a Master of Arts degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling (CACREP) from Liberty University. I am also a current member of Chi Sigma Iota, International Counseling Honor Society, Rho Eta Sigma Epsilon Chapter.I have experience providing counseling services to diverse individuals, particularly children and adolescents, in multiple settings within the community. I work from a collaborative, strengths-based, person-centered approach assisting and supporting clients to be the author of their own lives. I have experience with various mental health diagnosis such as anxiety, depression, and adjustment disorders using evidence-based interventions such as cognitive-behavioral and solution-focused brief therapies.I love working with children and their families to help them navigate and cope with challenges in their life. I enjoy integrating play, games, writing/journaling, discussion, and various forms of creative expression in my practice to help individuals explore feelings and learn healthy coping skills. Having the necessary tools and skills makes it easier to identify triggers, notice warning signs, and find ways to better prepare for oncoming stressors and challenges. Also, as a member of a military family, I find joy in working with children and families connected to service members.My mission is to create a safe space, built on respect and compassion, where I can partner withindividuals during these times so they leave feeling empowered and prepared to proceed on theirjourney to a happy and healthy life.
