(she/her)
Hello! I started working in mental health outreach attending school full-time while attaining my graduate level courses. I've worked with those with Depression, Anxiety, Trauma, (C)PTSD, Bipolar, Schizophrenia, ADHD, Adjustment Disorders, Family conflict, and also worked with the LGBTQ & Latinx communities. I've met so many wonderful people and knew I wanted to learn and meet more people to try and help guide people as much as I could, so I attained my LCPC to supervise other clinicians and help more in need.
In our first session we'll start with getting to know one each other, we'll both want to make sure we are a good fit for one another and I'll want to see what you want to gain from therapy. I'll also need to complete an intake assessment with you.
Having the education, personal & professional experiences for years now I feel I can assess and assign the most appropriate type of therapy to a person taking in a person in a holistic manner and use a very person centered approach.
I believe that finding the right therapist to assist you in your journey is often like finding a pair of shoes that has the right fit. This process can be arduous & can deter people from pursuing counseling. A key part of my clinical practice is to build rapport with my clients to assist them with feeling comfortable sharing what can be painful topics & issues. I believe that the therapeutic relationship is one of the most influential factors in assisting individuals to be successful in therapy and reach their goals. I especially enjoy working with the LGBTQIA+ community and I offer therapy in Spanish as well.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I've been practicing CBT for 15 years, it's an evidence based practice that works with a variety of diagnoses/struggles navigating life. I've found that it has great outcomes.
Acceptance and commitment (ACT)
Acceptance Commitment Therapy I've used for the past 10 years and it involves mindfulness and being able to learn how your mind and body reacts and how to cope/sit with certain things that one may not be willing or able to change about oneself currently.
Biofeedback
A person's body as many of us know now is very connected to our mental health. We'll use techniques to help control how ones body reacts to environmental factors such as stress for example. I've used this technique with people for around 13 years.
Motivational Interviewing
I've been using MI for 20 years. It's something that I incorporate in every type of therapy that I provide by having an safe space to discuss what one wants to talk about.
Trauma Informed Care
I have about 7 years of experience providing therapy in this area and have personal experience with is as well. There are certain assessments to see how much it's effecting your life, how much one might be keeping it locked away, and explore what you can do to address triggers.

From our very first session, she created a warm and welcoming environment that made it easy for me to open up about my thoughts and feelings. Nancy Milam is incredibly insightful and empathetic. She listens without judgment and offers thoughtful guidance that has helped me navigate some of my toughest challenges. I appreciate her ability to ask the right questions that encourage self-reflection and growth. I highly recommend Therapist's Nancy to anyone seeking support. She has made a significant impact on my mental health journey, and I am grateful for her expertise and compassion.
