I'm a licensed clinical social worker and psychotherapist with nine years of experience in social work and mental health. During this time, I've had the pleasure of working with diverse populations including students, young professionals, detainees, those living with HIV/AIDS throughout all stages of adolescence and adulthood, and couples and families of diverse ethnic backgrounds.
I grew up in a bilingual home, and have first hand knowledge of Latino culture, values, and struggles. Part of my practice is dedicated to aiding immigrants (Hispanic/Latinx or other) by working with your immigration attorney and providing him or her with a report after we have met for a psychosocial assessment. If you or a loved one is an immigrant applying for an extreme hardship waiver, or citizenship status under the Violence Against Women's Act (VAWA), be sure to scroll down my Services page to read more about how I can assist you.)
You may be wondering a little more about me. I feel great satisfaction and a personal calling to support others in feeling and living better, with themselves, their loved ones, and seeing them grow into their potential. When I’m not with my clients, I am enjoying being a wife and mother, singing and dancing in my living room, or lounging around eating my favorite sweet treat, ice cream!
If you have any questions about the therapy process, what to expect, or if we would be a good fit to work together, please do not hesitate to contact me for a free 15 minute phone consultation. You can reach me directly by following this link below.
Looking forward to hearing from you!
My very best,
Milkelis
