Licensed Psychologist, LMHC, SUDPT
Trauma-Informed Treatment for LGBTQ+ Individuals, Youth, and Young Adults
About
Miu Ezra Hart, PhD, LMHC, is a Seattle-based trauma therapist specializing in work with LGBTQ+ individuals, adolescents, and young adults. He is a licensed psychologist and a graduate of the School Psychology PhD program at the University of Washington. Dr. Hart has experience providing trauma-informed, evidence-based treatment across a range of settings, including private and group practice, hospitals and medical settings, community mental health, and public schools. His doctoral research focused on the use of arts-based mindfulness as a culturally responsive wellness intervention for school-age youth.
Dr. Hart's treatment approach is integrative, relational, and depth-oriented, with specialized training in Internal Family Systems (IFS) and Emotion-Focused Individual Therapy (EFIT). Through the IFS lens, clients are guided in understanding the different parts of themselves - including wounded or protective parts shaped by past trauma - with curiosity and compassion rather than judgment. His work emphasizes creating a safe, attuned therapeutic relationship where clients can move from avoidance, shame, or self-criticism toward greater wholeness and self-acceptance.

PSYPACT Authorization to Practice Interjurisdictional Telepsychology (APIT)
Services
I offer long-term psychotherapy as well as mental health evaluations to determine readiness for gender affirming medical intervention.
All services are provided virtually, via HIPAA-compliant, secure video conferencing.
Psychotherapy
In long-term psychotherapy, my priority is to cultivate a trusting therapeutic relationship and to provide you with a safe environment for your wellness journey. Together we will create an individualized treatment plan and set goals to identify and address challenging patterns of emotions, thoughts and behaviors.
Gender Support Evaluations
Some gender-affirming medical interventions, such as surgical procedures, require a letter of support from a licensed mental health professional. I will meet with you to discuss your gender goals and readiness for your desired procedure. My goal in this process is to serve as your advocate and write a letter that accurately represents your experiences and expectations. Letters are written following the WPATH Standards of Care.
