Hi! Thanks for checking out my profile! My name is Mike and I am glad you're here!
I received my masters degree in counseling from Fitchburg State University in 2017. After graduating, I started my career as a trauma-informed in home family therapist wherein I worked primarily with children, adolescents, and their caregivers teaching communication skills, coping strategies, addressing safety concerns, and working to improve stability in a home environment. Since 2022 I have worked as an outpatient counselor working with a range of clients from ages 6 to adult. I love working with a variety of clients, and focus especially on treating anxiety, depression, ADHD, and identity.
I'm Miluska, a LICSW based in Massachussetts. I have a Masters in Social Work from Simmons College and have been practicing clinically for over 20 years. I have signifcant experience in helping people through difficulties in their personal and profressional relationships, life transitions, or dealing with depression, anxiety, and emotional challenges.
Through an approachable, engaging style which brings humor, compassion and an unrelenting belief that things can get better, I strive to help clients develop effective patterns of thought and skills in order to achieve greater success and satisfaction in their lives and relationships. As a trauma specialist, I've cultivated a compassion and broad understanding of experiences & biological responses that inform our mental-emotional well-being.
I've been in practice for thirty years, working with clients of all ages. I have Master's Degrees in Counseling and Religious Studies, with concentrations in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, DBT, EMDR and Expressive Therapies.
I'm a Palestinian/Iraqi immigrant woman that grew up Muslim in America. I provide culturally responsive therapy for immigrant women or children of immigrants, but I also have a variety of clients from all walks of life.
I am a licensed independent clinical social worker and I received my Masters Degree in Social Work from Boston College. (My first Master's Degree was in Education from Rutgers University - which means I also do a lot of psychoeducation in my sessions!) I've worked with students with disabilities, in college counseling centers, in group practices, and now I have my own private practice.
Prior to being a therapist, I worked in higher education with college students for thirteen years.
I have experience working in community-based mental health and primary school settings. I've been a clinician since 2023 and have experience working with individuals of all ages. I am especially interested in working with those with chronic health conditions, mood disorders and trauma.
For over 30 years, I have assisted individuals navigate significant transitions and emotional struggles. Since 2007, I have been certified in hypnotherapy after completing 10 years of study in clinical hypnosis along with training in Systems Theory, psychodynamic psychotherapy, Internal Family Systems IFS), mindfulness, and spirituality without religious affiliation.
