Mia Gajdosik, LCSW, LMSW, MPH, MS, MSSW, CYT(She/Her/Hers)

Mia Gajdosik is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker based in Berkeley, California, who specializes in supporting individuals navigating Anxiety, ADHD, Autism, and Trauma. Many of Mia’s clients identify as deep feelers or highly sensitive people who often find themselves overwhelmed, overstimulated, or stuck in spirals of overthinking. Whether due to neurodivergence, trauma histories, or emotional dysregulation, her clients often come to therapy feeling like their brains work differently than others - and want to better understand themselves and find effective ways to cope.

Mia offers a compassionate, neurodivergent-affirming, and collaborative therapy space where clients can explore their experiences with curiosity and care. She supports individuals who struggle with emotional regulation, shutting down under stress, or feeling like they can't "turn off" their brains - common experiences for those living with Anxiety, Trauma, ADHD, and Autism.

Her therapeutic approach integrates a range of modalities including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Psychodynamic Therapy, Somatic Therapy, and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). She also incorporates mindfulness and body-based practices from her training as a certified yoga instructor.

Mia works with both individuals and families. In family sessions, she helps parents better understand and support their young people, emphasizing a strengths-based, relational approach grounded in empathy and curiosity.

Mia welcomes clients of all identities and is a gender-affirming and neurodivergent affirming therapist. Mia aims to offer a judgment-free therapy space where clients can express themselves freely and openly. Mia’s goal is to make sure clients feel safe to be completely themselves, so clients know they don’t have to mask in session or do go through life feeling alone. Clients leave sessions feeling more supported, understood, accepting of who they are, understanding of how to take care of themselves, equipped to manage big emotions, and encouraged to work towards their goals.
