I’m Linda Milewski, a Licensed Clinical Therapist and addiction specialist of 18 years. I hold a Masters in Social Work (MSW) and am trained in Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Solution Focused Brief Therapy, Somatic Experiencing, Non Violent Communication (NVC), Trauma-informed Care and Awareness, Tibetan Sound Bowl Healing, as well as Mindfulness practices. Additionally, I hold international certifications in addiction, employee assistance, and coaching.
After nearly two decades in inpatient psychiatric units, recovery facilities, mental health agencies, and wellness centers, I have helped stabilize many clients suffering from crisis, addiction, trauma, mood disorders and stress responses to various types of trauma. I developed a keen interest in various types of symptoms that create behaviors most would consider detrimental to their lives.
As I travelled extensively internationally, delving deeper into the causes of suffering, I began to understand more deeply what (in the Buddhist context), “suffering” means and how we can heal from it. I began looking at the client as a “whole organism” by exploring how the body and its nervous system becomes severely compromised over time stemming from chronic stress. I have learned that when the body is relaxed through certain techniques, there is no room for stress or trauma to be held. Through regulating the body and nervous system, we create a safe and calm therapeutic space from which to find creative and authentic solutions to our daily challenges. I believe that once the body feels safe, we are supported to make deep and life-changing shifts.
Non Violent Communication (NVC) is important to me. This modality supports us to speak authentically from the heart, tying in beautifully with mindfulness practices, trauma awareness and the regulation of emotions through somatic work. This method also supports us to set boundaries in ways that are compassionate for ourselves and others, enabling us to foster deeper, more authentic connection.
My approach with each client is to provide support, accountability, and structure that honors and helps clients to step out into post traumatic growth. Through use of a range of techniques, tools and therapeutic approaches, I see transformations in my clients as they experience a strong feeling of overall safety and well being.
I look forward to hearing from you and going on this journey of healing and self discovery with you!

Linda is a very attentive listener. She gives the option of starting sessions with meditation and really helps to enable patients like myself to open up and begin to receive the help needed. I was new to therapy when I met Linda and she had made the experience of therapy very mind opening and enjoyable as well.

So far she has been a refreshing presence, and I trust that she understands what is needed to help me heal. She has a good sense of humour, is down to earth, and corrects flawed thinking with grace. So far, so good! I have hope, for the first time in a while.

I really enjoy our sessions. She listens and offers solutions if I ask for them. She is compassionate and understanding. I like that she shares education about different topics like communication, anxiety, mindfulness that she has learned from her various studies. This has been my first experience with betterhelp and she was the first therapist I matched with and its going very well.

Linda has been great. Very responsible and she checks on my regularly. She also provides me with tools to use throughout the week. Much better than my previous therapist who spent the majority of our session talking about himself and never really getting into what was bothering me. Not the case here, she listens to me! And I mean she really listens and I can tell she cares!

Linda is professional. She is very smart and kind! I really like her! She asks me questions that relate to what I’m talking about. She offers different ways for me to feel safe and trusting, although I’m not there yet. I do feel safe. I just don’t trust easily. Nothing negative about Linda..

My therapist is great and has been a key part of my personal growth.
As I have said in the past, I find it particularly interesting that these frequent reviews focus solely on the performance of my therapist, and not the company or layout of the service you have provided... because it does have faults.
Hopefully you will make an effort to investigate more.

She is my all time favorite therapist. Guided meditations prior to therapy helps me to relax. Linda is always educating herself on new ways of teaching and she passes along her knowledge. I highly recommend Linda Milewski and I’m grateful I finally found a therapist that actually continues her education.

I really think Linda is a totally wonderful, caring and compassionate therapist. She really looks to approach me with respect to my points of view and ideas. She is an excellent listener and I would strongly recommend her to anyone else. However, I am currently panicking because I can not remember when my next session is and I am stuck on this window until I respond. Please change this feature better help.
