Miki Hara is a licensed clinical social worker specializing in the treatment of trauma, depression and anxiety. She works with sexual abuse survivors and birth trauma survivors (unplanned medical intervention, emergency C-section, etc.) Often survivors live with a sense of guilt and shame, and these emotional experiences often lead to depression and anxiety. Miki’s holistic therapy combines her knowledge of evidence-based treatment for trauma, mindfulness and yoga. She believes it is important to heal through our bodies, because traumatic experiences are not only in our cognition, but more so in our bodies.
Miki has over ten years of experience in psychotherapy and received training in evidence-based treatment protocols such as Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Cognitive Behavior Therapy, EMDR and Parent Management Training.
She works with individuals of all ages, families, couples and groups.
