About me

Welcome… my name is Ife Michelle Milligan. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, as well as a Certified Holistic Life Coach. I graduated from Columbia University School of Social Work in 1996. In my 29 years of providing services and therapy for clients, I have enjoyed the opportunities to witness growth and transformation. I believe in the power of change. It has been and continues to be an honor to hold space for others, while they overcome challenges and improve their lives. ••• “ I will not rescue you, for you are not powerless. I will not fix you, for you are not broken. I will not heal you, for I see you in your wholeness. I will walk with you through the darkness as you remember your light.” Sheree Bliss Tisley ••• I look forward to supporting you on your journey of healing.

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

In the first session, you will have an opportunity to reveal that which you feel comfortable sharing. I will inquire about your interests, your purpose and overall life. We will take our time to establish therapeutic trust and rapport. I provide a safe and comfortable place for those who attend.

I chose Ife because she has a holistic view on healing. She is open-minded and didn’t blink when I told her I have an alternate religion. She is so warm and welcoming and non-judgmental. She is a breath of fresh air in my therapy journey.
