Cindy is very good at peeling back the layers to expose the root cause of the issue, which then lets you work on that, rather than losing time trying to fix the “perceived” issue.

I feel this is a safe and that she really pay attention to what I have to say. Also, she follows up with me and gives me a comfortable atmosphere to talk. Is been a short time but effective.

Welcome! I'm Cindy Milas, Licensed Mental Health Counselor and Board Certified Coach. Based on 29 years of practice with a diverse range of clients, I've come to believe that with skilled therapy provided in a safe, supportive, and non-judgmental atmosphere, clients committed to making positive change can find the resources within themselves to meet most of life's challenges.

Drawing upon cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness, and laser-focused life coaching techniques, we'll partner together to develop a flexible, individualized therapy plan to not only give you tools to meet your current challenges, but to develop greater fulfillment, resilience, and balance in every area of living!

Areas I specialize in include: women's empowerment, life coaching, depression, anxiety, life transitions, aging, relationships, stress management, codependency, personal boundaries, self-esteem, chronic and life-threatening illness, grief/loss, work/life balance, and burnout.

My BetterHelp summer hours are Tuesday and Thursday, 1:00pm-6:00pm. Limited evening and weekend hours may also be available by appointment only.

I'm so glad you've reached out to take your first step toward positive change! I look forward to partnering with you on your journey!

About online counseling

Affordable.

Convenient.

Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

So wonderful and kind and such a weight off my shoulders to have that support, someone who understands and gives me insight and perspective that I wouldn’t have seen or considered on my own.
