About

Hello, I'm Dr. Alicia Millard. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. My approach to therapy is building rapport, listening to the client, and guiding your healing process. My focus areas are PTSD, complex trauma, depression, life and career coaching, and substance use. My approach My primary approach to providing therapy is talking to the client and offering what I think may be helping their therapy journey. The most common theoretical approach used in my work is EMDR, CBT, solution-focused, and client-centered. My focus Typically, I focus my work on adults, individuals, and teenagers aged 13-17 years old. I am most comfortable working with clients with trauma, substance use, anxiety, depression, life transitions, career coaching, and relationship difficulties. I also love working with BIPOC clients because I want to help provide services to those with this demographic to help diminish the stigma of mental health services within my own community. My communication style I like the therapy environment to be a calming and safe place. When working with me, I am attentive and allow the client to lead the conversation. My journey to therapy I have been in the social service field for over 20 years. I've always wanted to work and help people through difficult times. I returned to school for my master's in social work and attained my license in clinical social work. One of the significant reasons for being in this profession is to help those at one of the most challenging times in their lives and to help bring awareness to them to grow mentally and emotionally. My goals for you We will discuss goals at the initial session. I want to hear what you want to work on while in therapy so that we can have a specific and achievable plan to work through. The goal setting is collaborative, and the client has to agree to the plan set in place. Also, the plan is flexible; once goals are met, we can revise them.
