Licensed Master Social Worker

Ethan Milner, LMSW-C

For anyone searching for an ally in approaching the challenges of life, finding the right therapist can make a world of difference. I am a therapist with over two decades of experience in the helping professions, and I believe that safety is the cornerstone of a productive therapeutic relationship. From a starting point of listening, I use a collaborative approach to figure out what a person needs, wants, and how we can get there together. Some of the issues I work with are trauma, depression, anxiety, Autism, and ADHD. I specialize in working with individual adults, adolescents, families (parent-child focus), and athletes, age 12-65. I also help individuals and families from adolescence to adulthood in navigating neurodivergence, especially identifying needs and coping strategies related to missed or undiagnosed Autism. I welcome folks from any walk of life, though my practice is explicitly anti-racist, LGBTQQ+ positive, disability-conscious, and cognizant of systemic harm. My primary values are solidarity, non-judgment, and non-violence, and I believe in employing evidence-based strategies to help people achieve their goals. My goal is to tailor this evidence-based approach to a person's needs and goals using either a particular approach if the client is seeking something specific, or an adaptive and eclectic blend of interventions when needed. This includes Mindfulness-based strategies such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction, Interpersonal Neurobiology, and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy. I employ more traditional talk therapy based practices including psychodynamic inquiry and cognitive reprocessing strategies, as well as newer ones such as Internal Family Systems. I also believe integrating somatic approaches is invaluable in navigating trauma and recovery, and am a Level I EMDR therapist trained using the Somatic and Attachment Focused EMDR model (SAFE EMDR). I'm a new dad, a writer and a musician. I love reading, sports, and martial arts. If it sounds like I could be helpful, I would love to walk with you on your journey.
