Sally Millsap

Hello, my name is Sally. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in the State of California with a Master's degree in Social Work from the University of Iowa College and a minor in Psychology.

My approach

My approach to therapy draws from various modalities including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Couples Therapy, Culturally Sensitive Therapy, Family Systems Therapy, Grief Therapy, Multicultural Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, Strength-Based Therapy, and Trauma-Focused Therapy. I tailor my approach to best meet the unique needs of each individual client.

My focus

I work with a diverse range of clients, including minors (ages 13-17), adult individuals, and couples. My areas of specialty include addiction, adolescents/teens, Alzheimer's, depression, domestic violence, drug abuse, family conflict, sexual abuse, pregnancy/prenatal/postpartum issues, and child abuse or neglect.

My communication style

My communication style is warm, empathetic, and non-judgmental. I strive to create a safe, supportive space where clients feel comfortable openly sharing their thoughts, feelings, and experiences. I believe in collaborating with clients and empowering them to find their own solutions.

My journey to mental healthcare

I have dedicated my career to mental healthcare for over 38 years, driven by a passion for supporting people through life's challenges. My extensive hospital experience has allowed me to help a wide range of populations, including abused and neglected children and their parents, survivors of human trafficking and domestic violence, and children and adults coping with chronic medical conditions.

My goals for you

My goal is to help you gain greater self-awareness, develop coping skills, improve your relationships, and ultimately enhance your overall well-being and quality of life. I aim to provide you with the tools and insights you need to overcome obstacles, achieve your goals, and live a more fulfilling life.

My first session with you

During our first session, I will take time to learn about you, your background, the challenges you are facing, and what you hope to achieve through therapy. We will discuss the therapy process and begin to develop a treatment plan tailored to your specific needs and goals. You can expect a warm, supportive, and collaborative environment where you feel safe to share and explore.
