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 . Discussing present symptoms and gathering some background information that may assist the client along the way. I will also answer any questions the client may have about the therapeutic relationship and therapy process. An explanation of confidentiality and informing the client that I am a mandatory reporter.
I feel that my personality, ability to be non-judgmental, my understanding of pain, trauma and the need for change as well as my patience are my greatest strengths. I seem to have a knack for getting along well with others and am able to meet them where they are to address their needs. I do not make decisions for my clients but assist them with making decisions for themselves.
I feel I work best with adult females and males preferably BIPOC but am open to assisting any adults with their healing journey. I feel I have been successful with helping others manage and control depressive symptoms anxiety symptoms, learning and practicing coping skills and leaning to talk to and about themselves in a more positive manner.
I have been using CBT to assist clients with changing thinking patterns that contribute to distress
I have used DBT to assist clients with identifying and managing their emotions
I have been trained in TF-CBT to assist clients with processing and accepting past trauma
I use Person centered counseling to create autonomy for my clients
Motivational interviews are always in my sessions to motivate and encourage the client to make decisions for themselves practice and use skills necessary for change and create a healthy therapeutic relationship

I never thought that I would feel comfortable with speaking to someone that didn’t know me, but Mia made it easy and I can’t wait to continue my journey of healing with her . Thank you Mia !

She is very attentive, reassuring, and personable. I love the talks we have even if i may rant for majority of them. she allows me to expel my emotions and thoughts and we work on ways not to be stuck in these places and how to build up myself into who I want to be. I genuinely adore Mia🥰

She always takes care of me and represents herself so beautifully! Even when we discuss different ways of life, she's open to me just as I'm open to her and reminds me that core values can transcend every and any generation. She empowers me to be my best, even if it diverts a little!
