“Michaia is a talented and knowledgeable therapist. Michaia helped me navigate not only my childhood trauma and its effects on my adult life but also my relationships with emotionally and sexually abused partners. Their skill set enabled us to work through challenging aspects of BDSM and polyamory. Michaia is also American Sign Language proficient and helped me improve my communication with a hard-of-hearing partner. Without Michaias help I would not be able to work through some of the most challenging periods of my life. ”

“They are an incredibly kind, knowledgeable and encouraging therapist. Once I made my concerns and preferred path of treatment known to them, they made quick and prepared adjustments to give me the best care. I recommend Michaia and will work with them for much of the foreseeable future.”

Getting to know Faith Michaia Walker
“Be easy. Take your time. You are coming home to yourself.” – Nayyirah Waheed. I find this quote matches my approach as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in New York. I like to bring a culturally and identity-affirming, trauma-informed lens to my work with clients. As a socially conscious BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, or Person of Color), I take deliberate care to recognize, respect, and celebrate all of the identities of my clients. By slowing down, we are able to find and care for the parts of ourselves that are often hidden, ignored, and might even be hurting the most. I see therapy as a collaborative process. I earned my Master's in Social Work from the University of Pennsylvania, which has deeply informed my commitment to culturally responsive and trauma-informed care.
What should a new client know about working with you?
I specialize in working with people identify and unpack trauma that might be blocking their way of living a full and enriching life. There is no way to "skip" to the healed version of yourself but I will be with you every step of the way.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
In order for therapy to have that collaborative feel, its important to have open and clear communication between client and therapist. This is something I highly encourage. Part of my 3 C's; Clarity, Consistency, Collaboration.

Out-of-pocket fees and assistance
Initial session: $150 for 50 minutes
Ongoing session: $130 for 50 minutes
- Sliding scale: Offers lower out-of-pocket fees on an individual basis, typically based on your ability to pay
- Files your insurance claim: You pay the session fee upfront and the provider files the claim for you, so you can get reimbursed directly without worrying about the paperwork
- Charges post-reimbursement amount: This provider will only charge you for the amount you pay after you get reimbursed from your insurance plan, so you don’t need to pay the session fee upfront

I truly loved working with Michaia. Michaia was patient, caring, and kind without being overly appeasing. They challenged and encouraged me to make positive changes in my life and celebrated my wins with me. If I had not moved out of state I would still be working with Michaia to this day!
