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. I hold a Master’s degree in Marriage and Family Therapy, a License in Marriage & Family Therapy from the Board of Behavioral Sciences in California (LMFT), a License from New York State Education Department (LMFT), and a License in Advanced Alcohol and Drug Counseling (LAADC). I’ve held leadership positions in prominent treatment facilities in Southern California, includes serving as Clinical Director. My experience includes 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 mental health issues, 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. My approach is collaborative, empowering, and intuitive, blending compassion with the directness needed to spark real change. My focus is on lasting changes that extend beyond symptom management.

​​

Thank you for visiting my practice. I offer telehealth services in CA & NY states.
