About Linda Milewski

Hello, I’m Linda Milewski. I have been a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and addiction specialist for 15 years. I hold a Masters in Social Work (MSW) and international certifications in addiction, employee assistance, and coaching. Additionally, I am trained in Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT), Solution Focused Brief Therapy, Somatic Experiencing, as well as Mindfulness practices. After nearly two decades in inpatient psychiatric units, recovery facilities, mental health agencies, and wellness centers, I have helped stabilize clients suffering from crisis, addiction, trauma, and mood disorders. 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 and addiction, I began to understand more deeply what “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. 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 Solution Focused Brief Therapy, CBT, DBT, and coping skills, I have truly begun to see transformations in my clients as they experience a strong feeling of overall safety and well being. I look forward to going on this journey of healing and self discovery with you!
