Prior to owning her practice, she worked as an Outpatient Clinician, Clinical Supervisor, and Clinical Director at a local group private practice. Early in her career, Milena worked for several years with children on the autism spectrum before earning her Master of Social Work from The Ohio State University. She received her Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from The College of Wooster.

In therapy, Milena has confidence that each client possesses the tools and resources they need to experience a more balanced internal system and healthier, more adaptive behaviors. She firmly believes that every part of oneself is a strength, and some strengths need and deserve healing. Within that belief, it becomes clear that every client has a sense of resiliency that was perhaps unknown to them until now. With all of the resources that one’s own Self has to offer, trauma resolution becomes a real possibility, leading to a more fulfilling life.
