Mitchell Milch LCSW

Hello and thank you for visiting my experts page!

Please take this opportunity to tour my website at www.healthymindsets.com and listen to the stories of folks just like you who took their inspired visions seriously and made them self-fulfilling prophecies.  Below are examples of challenges overcome by patients who became clear on what they wanted to change, and then learned to attract responses of others consistent with their reinvented self- images. 

Psychotherapy:  Normal Folks Solving Problems Of Every Day Living

 Will you talk to anyone about your relationship except your partner because discussions with your partner are exasperating, painful and depressing  cycles of attack and counterattack?  

Do you find yourself feeling compelled to please your partner, failing no matter how hard you try, and getting no respect and consideration for trying?  To make matters worse do you find yourself unwilling to stand up for yourself for fear of being rejected and/or abandoned? 

Does your self esteem rise and fall like an unstable stock market as if everyone controls how you feel about yourself and treat yourself except you?

Do you expect perfection of yourself and others so as to feel unhappy with yourself and others, leaving others hurt and unhappy with you? 

Do you ever feel so empty, numb or cut off from yourself that the pain of feeling useless and worthless to yourself and others drives you to drink, drug, eat, gamble, spend, or have sex to escape your misery?   

If you can identify with the stories above then, you are not alone and I can help. I will provide you a place of safety and security and together we will answer the question: What tools, strategies, and mindsets do you need to learn from myself for you to improve the quality of your life?

 How Does Psychotherapy Work?   

A greenhouse is a controlled environment that establishes as close to ideal conditions as possible to protect and nurture growing plants during their stages of greatest vulnerability to potentially inhospitable outside forces.   The greenhouse is an excellent metaphor to describe the therapeutic alliance.  It’s a warm environment controlled to maximize conditions that encourage and promote your freedom and safety to experiment risk free, with new ways of relating to and implementing effective strategies for achieving your most cherished goals.

Another helpful metaphor and teaching tool is the renovation of a building.  Just like a building that depends on scaffolding to maintain the structure’s integrity while it’s weight bearing supports are being reinforced or replaced,  I lend my experience, creativity and training to help you maintain the structural integrity or current infrastructure of mindsets you currently use to navigate your way through life.  Meanwhile, together we replace, rehabilitate, strengthen and rebuild obsolete, self-defeating, misleading and ineffective mindsets that have brought you into psychotherapy.   Once the renovation is complete, you will have grown in your trust and appreciation of your creative capacities for engineering desired change in your life so as to render the scaffolding( my services) no longer necessary. 

I am available to meet for a consultation from Monday-Friday, 8AM-10 PM.  Please do not hesitate to call or write if you have any questions about my practice.  I am contracted with a host of insurance companies and ofer a sliding payment scale when warranted.
