Getting to know Colleen Millen
Hi there, I'm Colleen!
My name is Colleen Millen, and I am a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT 109436) based in California, working with clients statewide through telehealth. I hold a Master’s in Counseling from John F. Kennedy University. I specialize in working with older adolescents and adults on emotional regulation and stress reduction. I provide a trauma-informed and consent-based space for self-discovery within experiences of anxiety, depression, and developmental trauma.
My approach
My therapy approach varies based on each client’s needs. The space I hold is influenced by training and certification in the Neuro-Affective Relational Model (NARM), Somatic Psychology, Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR), and Yoga Therapy.
My focus
I prioritize partnering with clients to explore their hopes and obstacles while emphasizing their strengths and agency. My approach suits those moving through life transitions such as soon-to-be or new parents, or adolescents moving from high school into next steps. I also support clients seeking new perspectives and skills around stress reduction, anxiety, and depression. Supporting post-traumatic growth related to developmental trauma is another specialty.
My communication style
I hope clients feel seen, heard, and comforted in the therapy space we co-create. I offer a compassionate listening space to support self-discovery and growth.
My journey to mental healthcare
A common thread in my career is an interest in connection through stories. First in journalism, then yoga teaching, and now therapy, I am fascinated by what connects and impacts us as humans. Growing up, my family joked I was like Lucy in Peanuts with the “the doctor is in” sign, supporting friendships.
