My name is Mia Morton and I am the Founder and CEO of Imperfections Counseling Services. I am happy to see that you have the courage to begin your journey . Seeking help can be difficult to do, so I must give you kudos for being so brave. I feel it is important for the client to guide the therapy sessions so that they are empowered to move forward on their own eventually. I provide services that assist my clients with making changes in their thinking patterns and develop new skills to improve their lives. I feel that my patience and understanding of life and life’s struggles assists me with assisting others. I am also a mother of 2 and a grandmother of 6. I also previously worked with at risk youth through a not-for-profit organization to assist with trauma care, and behavioral concerns. Being a black woman assists in the empathy and sympathy I have for people of color and the various forms of oppression we face daily. On my platform, "You are IMPERFECTLY perfect"

In our first session we will discuss what the client wants to attain through counseling and begin rapport building .

My first session with Mia was so empowering and inspiring. Changed my perspective of what therapy is. I admire how outspoken and easy going she is makes it easy to talk. I’m looking forward to continuing my journey of learning about myself and growing with her guidance.

Her about me sold me! She's very empowering, humorous, open-minded, warm, intelligent, direct, and authentic. I felt very comfortable with her right off back. She met me right where I needed her too. Considering this is my first time in therapy, she made me feel welcomed. She is awesome, and I look forward to my healing journey with her.
