A Message from Mileva

Life – with all its beauty – is filled with adversity. Struggles may be opportunities for growth and development. Without hardship, our capacity to reach our full potential is limited. I believe it is important for counseling to be a place in which you feel empowered to learn, grow, and practice skills. I offer a blend of cognitive behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing techniques, an experiential creative process (e.g., art, play, sand play), and when appropriate, an existential approach. You can expect the counseling process to be focused on your strengths and individualized to meet your unique needs. You are the expert and author of your life; my role is simply to walk along side of you during our time together. I acknowledge the vulnerability in the healing process and would be honored to be a part of your story.
