Dr. Catherine VanMilligen, DO

Dr. Catherine VanMilligen, DO

Psychiatrist
IA
A Collaborative Alliance Dr. Tyler views the therapeutic relationship as a shared experience that honors both clinical expertise and lived experience, moving beyond the sterile dichotomy of doctor and patient. Her approach is rooted in the recognition of a collective vulnerability to the same biological and existential laws that govern the human condition. She fosters a sanctuary where healing is a mutual journey rather than a top-down directive, meeting her patients as equals. The Synthesis of Science and Art Her path to psychiatry was shaped by a unique synthesis of mathematics, biology, and the studio arts at Hamline University. By learning to identify patterns within both clinical data and creative expression, she developed a multidisciplinary perspective that naturally aligned with the core tenets of osteopathic medicine. This foundation led her to A.T. Still University, where she refined her approach to viewing the mind, body, and physiological systems as inextricably linked and deeply influenced by the nuance of human relationships. Clinical Resilience and Social Justice Dr. Tyler’s clinical foundation was forged in high-intensity environments, ranging from Level 1 emergency rooms to the Cermak Correctional Hospital at the Cook County Jail. Through these formative experiences, she developed a nuanced understanding of crisis, addiction, and the vital role of social justice in healthcare. These environments instilled in her a profound respect for human resilience and an unwavering drive to provide integrative care that transcends simple diagnostic checklists.
