Getting to know Brittin Milenkovic
I am a Therapist at Wellness Counseling Services, LCSW, PLLC.
Hello and welcome! I'm Britt, a Limited Permit Mental Health Counselor with a passion for helping individuals navigate anxiety. I hold a Master’s in Counseling from Alfred University and am here to support you on your journey toward mental well-being. I am also going to school for my second master's in Social Work at Roberts Wesleyan. Let's work together to find the strategies that work best for you.
When I work with children, my approach is all about creating a safe and nurturing space where they feel comfortable expressing themselves. I use creative and age-appropriate methods to help them understand and manage their emotions. It's incredibly rewarding to see them grow and develop coping skills that they can carry into their future!
As a therapist, I mostly utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) because it's a structured, goal-oriented approach that helps clients understand the connections between their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. Here's how I integrate CBT into our sessions:
Firstly, we work together to identify any negative thought patterns or beliefs that may be causing distress or holding you back. This process often involves gentle exploration and questioning to uncover underlying assumptions.
Throughout our sessions, I emphasize the importance of behavioral changes that can positively impact your emotional well-being. We set achievable goals together, breaking them down into manageable steps that build confidence as you progress.
My role as your therapist is to provide support and a non-judgmental environment where you feel safe exploring and experimenting with new ways of approaching situations.
Ultimately, my approach with CBT is rooted in empathy and collaboration, aiming to help you achieve lasting positive changes in your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors.
Thank you for considering me as a potential therapist to help you or someone you love!
What should a new client know about working with you?
During our first session together, my main goal is for us to get to know each other. I want to create a comfortable environment where you feel at ease, especially since seeking help or talking about therapy can sometimes feel daunting due to the stigma attached. It's important to remember that practicing self-care and seeking support are nothing to feel ashamed of, they're crucial steps toward your well-being.
In our session, I'll also explain our practice policies and my responsibilities as a therapist, including my role as a mandated reporter. Feel free to ask any questions you may have, I'm here to help clarify and support you.
Please note that our accepted insurance plans can change, . Our helpful team will be happy to assist with any billing inquiries you may have.
I'm genuinely looking forward to meeting you and accompanying you on your journey towards healing. Thank you for choosing to take this important step.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
Let me walk you through what you can expect during our sessions together. Our time is all about you—creating a safe space where you can freely express yourself without judgment. In our initial sessions, we'll focus on getting to know each other and understanding what brings you here. You might notice that I use some mental health assessments or structured questions. I know this can sometimes feel a bit clinical, but it's a valuable part of understanding your unique needs and creating a tailored plan for our work together.
These assessments help me gather important information about your thoughts, feelings, and experiences. They're designed to ensure we cover all the necessary aspects of your well-being and to help us identify any areas where you may need extra support.
As we progress, our conversations will sound more natural discussing how you've been feeling since our last session and any progress or challenges you've experienced. From there, we might explore specific thoughts, feelings, or situations that are on your mind. I'll guide the conversation and may ask questions to help us delve deeper into what's important to you.
Depending on your needs, we might practice relaxation techniques, work on coping strategies, or explore new ways of thinking about challenges you're facing. Therapy is a collaborative process, so your input and feedback are invaluable in shaping our sessions.
Towards the end of our time together, we'll recap what we've discussed and set goals or homework to work on before our next session. Remember, everything we talk about is confidential, except in situations where I'm legally obligated to report concerns for your safety or others'.
Overall, my goal is to support you in navigating your emotions, building resilience, and empowering you to make positive changes in your life. I'm here to listen, support, and guide you every step of the way.
