Michelle Milligan, LCSW, for the past 25 years, is a dedicated and experienced Licensed Social Worker in multiple states with a strong background in providing therapeutic services across various disciplines. Her commitment to excellence and compassionate approach make her a valuable asset in medical, clinical, and psychiatric social work settings." I specialize in treating Racial Trauma in the workplace, Post Traumatic Slave Syndrome, Social and General Anxiety and Mood Disorders (depression and bipolar), Anxiety (Social Phobia and PTSD), Transitional Stressors (divorce, grief, occupational and family changes), couples and family counseling, behavioral problems with adolescents, ADD and AD/HD, and problems with anger and impulsivity.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions and review all of your intake screening outcomes then discuss the specific challenges you're facing. This will help me create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

As an experienced professional in mental health and social work, I have developed many attributes that enhance the productivity of individuals and their families. One of my notable skill sets is my ability to work with clients in various settings with various behavioral, emotional, and mental health needs. I have successfully worked with infants, children, adolescents, and adults. I’ve been privileged to conduct therapeutic counseling for individual, group, family, classroom, and play sessions. Each age group, setting, and focal point of counsel has required me to implement different skills and techniques. Being able to do that effectively has ensured that all involved were engaged and benefited from therapy.
