Mia DeMarco is a Coordinator, psychology/research assistant, amateur gardener, mom and dog mom. After earning her B.S. in Human Development and Family Service at the University of R.I. she began working in early childhood psychology at a local children’s psychiatric hospital. She began her career 20 years ago as a behavior therapist and later moved into a clinical research position. Mia recognized the benefits our programming could provide to her very young patients and offered to run our workshops regularly with groups, families and individuals. Allowing the children to use their creative brains freely was so impactful, not only for the children, but for their families as well. Mia enjoys outdoor adventures with her family, lounging on the beach and finding new items to create with. Mia believes that exercising your creative brain can have a positive impact on mental wellness.
