MS, Clinical Mental Health Counseling, Prescott College
Hey! I’m Milo, a therapist with a Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. I have experience working with both adults and adolescents aged 10-17, tailoring my treatment plans to meet the distinct developmental and emotional needs of each age group. My work with young people focuses on helping them build resilience, navigate identity, and foster healthy coping strategies, while my focus with adults is grounded in facilitating self-reflection and meaningful growth. My therapeutic approach blends Relational Cultural Theory and Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), with a strong emphasis on person-centered care.
I specialize in supporting LGBTQ+, polyamorous/ENM-practicing individuals, and combat veterans while providing treatment for anxiety, depression, PTSD, and substance use. I believe in addressing people holistically—considering mental, physical, and spiritual dimensions as well as their unique contexts, such as work, family, culture, or school. My goal is to help you embrace your truest self — working toward peace, contentment, and introspection while discovering your innate authenticity.
