Professional statement

Hi, my name is Milagros, but you can call me Millie. I was born and raised in the heart of the Bronx, and I’ve always been passionate about breaking the stigma around mental health in communities of color. As an Afro-Latina woman, I know firsthand how hard it can be to find care that truly understands our experiences. That’s why I’ve made it my mission to create a space where people, especially Women of Color, can feel seen, supported, and empowered in their healing.

I work with folks who are healing from complex trauma, including C-PTSD and other challenges that can occur as a result of C-PTSD. In our sessions, I draw from different approaches like CBT, DBT, EMDR, and somatic practices. Essentially, I use whatever tools best fit you and your story.

At the core of my work is connection. I believe healing happens when you feel safe enough to be yourself, to share your story without judgment, and to learn more about what’s really going on beneath the surface. My goal is to help you feel grounded, informed, and cared for as you move toward the life and peace you deserve.

Every story matters. Every body matters. Every soul deserves space to heal and I am here to walk with you through that process.


Message to clients

This year, choose you. Put yourself first for once. It’s not selfish, it’s necessary. It’s time to let go of those old ideas about mental health that have been passed down for generations and kept so many of us silent.

Remember that feeling vulnerable doesn’t make you weak. Crying, asking for help, taking a break, those are all signs of strength. Real courage is recognizing when things aren’t okay and reaching out anyway.

I’m here for you. No judgment, no pressure. Just someone who gets it and wants to help you find your way back to yourself. You already have so much strength inside you, even if it doesn’t always feel that way. Together, we’ll work on letting go of the shame and making space for healing, hope, and peace.
