Mia Garret, LCSW

Mia Garret is a Clinical Social Worker who specializes in healing relationships between youth and their families, teachers, and peers, so they can have more opportunities to practice becoming and being their best Self. Mia began her career in Marietta, GA working with students in 3rd-12th grade under the non profit agencies Communities In Schools and Marietta YELLS (Youth Empowerment through Learning, Leading, and Serving). While serving students and the adults charged with their care and learning, Mia recognized that we are all shaped through the interactions we have with those around us; from this realization Village Life Therapy was born.


At Village Life we believe that behavioral health and mental wellness are rooted in how we are developing within the context of our relationship. We recognize that every interaction we have, whether in our thoughts and feelings or with another person, is a chance to live up to our best Self  or to recede into more comfortable, dysfunctional behaviors. In choosing Village Life as your provider you are making a commitment to not only yourself but to those around you  to find the best in yourself and bring out the best in others.
Mia has changed my life. 

A few months ago, when I started with Mia, I was really struggling. From the very beginning, she connected with what I had to say on a deep level - I felt completely heard and valued. She gave me beautiful tools to regain self-trust and to rebuild my life from the inside out.

So much of my life has changed under her guidance - she's even positively impacted elements I thought were already fine. Mia's focus on nurishing the soul and living through love has made my entire reality shine with a joy and luminosity that I've lacked my entire life up until now. To say that she helped me is an egregious understatement. Mia's guidance has allowed me to rediscover myself and to live my life with a glowing, fresh perspective. 

She's incredibly easy to talk to, she's kind and uplifting, encouraging and loving. She feels like a friend who always knows just what to say. I honestly can't recommend her enough for the way she has impacted my life. She is an incredible gift to those she serves through this practice, and I cannot express how grateful I am for all that she has done for me.

Mia is a wonderful counselor. She's able to juggle the variety of problems that have occurred in my life, and helped me see some of the root problems. My issues focused more on anxiety and family conflict which she has really helped me handle. She provides great worksheets and is very easy to talk to. I highly recommend using her!

Talking to Mia has been really great. She gives good advice and is caring and compassionate. Her reply times are good, especially since I have never tried the "Mark as Urgent" button, but even without it, she's always replied within the same day without problems.
She's helped me deal with my problems by using comparsions, both from personal experience stories and a more scientifical perspective, but she has also been understanding and seems like she genuinely cares about my problems.
I definitely recommend her as a therapist!
