Transforming pain into power
Welcome!
My name is Mila Kisina.
As a mental health professional with over a decade of experience in mental health and addiction treatment, I'm dedicated to helping individuals and families overcome the challenges of substance abuse, trauma, relational difficulties, and emotional concerns.
​
My journey in this field began with a personal connection to the power of healing. Having experienced firsthand the transformative impact of therapeutic support, I'm passionate about guiding others towards a brighter future.
​
My expertise in addiction and trauma treatment is grounded in both academic knowledge and real-world experience. With a Master’s degree in Marriage and Family Therapy, a License from the Board of Behavioral Sciences (LMFT), and a License in Advanced Alcohol and Drug Counseling (LAADC), I’ve held leadership positions in prominent treatment facilities. My experience includes serving as Clinical Director and providing oversight to mental health and addiction treatment programs in community non-profit and private sectors.
​
Drawing on my personal journey of healing and my deep understanding of the challenges faced by those struggling with addiction, trauma, and codependency, I offer a compassionate and supportive therapeutic environment. My holistic approach combines evidence-based practices with somatic interventions, recognizing the interconnectedness of mind, body, and spirit.
​
Through personalized treatment plans, I empower clients to
develop coping strategies, address underlying issues, and achieve lasting well-being. Ready to start your journey towards healing and transformation? Let's work together to overcome challenges and reclaim the joy in your life!
​
Thank you for visiting my practice. I look forward to meeting and getting to know you!
