About Mia Colombo
Mia Colombo, M.A., LPCC works with teenagers and adults navigating mood and identity-related challenges, including depression, anxiety, emotional dysregulation, self-harm, and the impact of trauma histories. She has a special interest in supporting clients who feel overwhelmed by intense emotions, struggle with sense of self, or feel stuck in patterns that interfere with their relationships and overall well-being.
Mia earned her Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Adams State University and her Bachelor of Science in psychology, cum laude, from the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga, where she worked as a research and teaching assistant and served as editor and publisher of Modern Psychological Studies, a national undergraduate psychology journal.
Her clinical training includes more than 1,000 hours as a therapist intern at a family therapy and counseling practice in Englewood, where she provided individual therapy to clients from young children to older adults, family therapy focused on communication and relationships, crisis intervention, and psychoeducational group therapy. Before graduate school, she worked as a Registered Behavior Technician supporting children at a developmental services center in Tennessee.
Mia takes a direct, collaborative, and compassionate approach to therapy, helping clients build insight while also developing practical tools for change. Drawing from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), she works alongside clients to strengthen emotional regulation, improve coping skills, and create meaningful movement toward a life that feels more stable, connected, and authentic.
In practice, that means looking at emotions, thoughts, and behavior together: noticing what happens in the moments that feel overwhelming, understanding what those patterns are doing for the person, and practicing skills that work better. For clients who struggle with self-harm, DBT gives therapy a clear structure, with safety as the first priority and skills that clients can use between sessions.
At FRTC, Mia provides individual therapy for teens and adults, leads DBT skills classes, and works with teens in the Teen DBT Program, where parents learn the same skills alongside their teens.
