Welcome and congratulations on taking the first step towards meeting with a therapist! You feel that that you don't have a good sense of who you are. You behave in different ways around your friends, family members, and colleagues. It's hard for you to keep your emotions in check and at times you feel your emotions are out of control. As a result, you react in ways that make things more challenging for yourself and others. Your relationships often have conflict, friends don't seem to stick around, and you can't figure out why. You wonder if you're doing something wrong and if there is something you can do differently. You question why things at home, with work/school, or with relationships can't be easier. When you try to handle these problems, it seems like things only get better for a little while, or they just get worse. I help clients figure out what truly matters most to them in life; assist clients in learning how to connect with and live in the present moment; support clients in finding ways to handle intense emotions, respond in ways that don't erupt their relationships, and to weather through the tough times.

I am a certified eating disorder specialist with over 10 years of experience working with individuals who struggle with their relationship with food, body image, and self. College can often be a time that increases these struggles with the demands of academics, sports performance for athletes, more independence and social pressures. My work is to help you create a better relationship with your body and food that can help lead to a more satisfaction in life. I also work with individuals struggling with depression, anxiety, grief, and the life transitions. Together we will create coping strategies to navigate through the mess and sometimes just to hold space to sit in the messiness that can be life. My work is collaborative. I am not here to tell you what to do but instead meet you where you are at and guide you to your goals that you want to meet in therapy. I bring warmth, compassion and of course some humor into our work together.

Milo's Mission, owned and operated by Lillian Dugan, LCSW, was founded to offer therapeutic services in diverse settings, transcending traditional office boundaries. Our aim is to empower clients with essential skills, foster self-awareness, and instill hope and healing amidst life's most challenging moments.
I believe people have the inherent capacity to heal and grow. To support this change, I provide a nonjudgmental, warm, and collaborative therapeutic space. I will work with you to tap into your strengths, gain insight into behaviors that might currently feel stuck or confusing, and learn skills to empower you to effectively deal with stress and emotional ups and downs. My approach is tailored to your specific goals and circumstances, and typically includes a mixture of traditional “talk” therapy with mindfulness, somatic, and trauma-informed practices. I am committed to an anti-oppressive, inclusive approach that welcomes all experiences. I am licensed to provide telehealth in NY, GA, and FL. I also provide in-person sessions in GA.
ADHD is more than just "having difficulty focusing," and no, not "everyone has a little bit of ADHD" as many people claim nowadays. The impact of ADHD is pervasive and can keep you from reaching your goals, connecting with others, maintaining a routine despite knowing that it would be helpful, and constantly "masking" for fear that you will not be accepted as you are. Life administrative tasks feel daunting and get postponed repeatedly, and the negative self-talk that ensues as a result takes a further toll and increases avoidance. I can help you understand the brain science of ADHD, incorporate aspects of mindfulness, somatic work, and other modalities to overcome these challenges, and regain your mental energy. You'll learn to work with your neurodivergence, NOT against it. I work from an anti-oppressive, anti-racist, lens and am mindful about how culture, immigration journeys and systemic racism play a role in how someone compensates for their ADHD.
I am a New York State licensed Clinical Social Worker in private practice, with an office in Mamaroneck, NY. During the covid pandemic, I am working with all clients using tele-health. I have had extensive training in Mindfulness, Acceptance & Compassion Based Therapies (aka 3rd Wave Therapy) From my diverse experiences I have learned that: The way you speak to yourself matters. Negative self talk can be detrimental and it can be changed. Shame is a major contributor of emotional suffering and mental illness. This emotion thrives in secrecy. Compassion is a reliable way of improving your relationships, with yourself and others. Life is hard, and many times unfair. Knowing what you need, and developing the skills to support those needs, helps make the best out of life's difficult situations.
I view therapy as the process of developing a better understanding of thoughts, emotions and patterns. I utilize a person-centered therapy approach to create a warm, non-judgmental atmosphere where you can feel comfortable and safe. Through the journey of self-discovery, your needs and wants from the therapy process may change. This is why I pull from different evidence-based therapy approaches such as CBT and positive psychology to best fit with your needs at the time. I have experience working with a variety of mental health concerns. However, no two people are the same. Together we will work towards your unique goals utilizing the individual strengths you bring. Deciding to begin therapy can be scary. I will help to illuminate the process and ease your concerns. I am currently accepting new clients. I look forward to hearing from you and starting this journey together.
