Millie Dawson-Hardy is a Licensed Professional Counselor who specializes in creative expressions in therapy. Millie understands the importance of encouragement and connection. While Millie does not view herself as an expert on living life, she is honored to walk with her clients on their own healing path, offering support and encouragement. We all have the capacity to change our lives we sometimes just need to get out of our own way! Millie is a Humanistic and Adlerian trained counselor who uses art and play as well as traditional talk therapy to help clients from preschool to adulthood. The creative therapies allow for deep exploration. While therapy is not an art or dance class, the use of creative expression moves us into a deeper place within ourselves so the use of these modalities are for all not just those who identify as artists. In session the client directs the process and the therapist walks with the client in their exploration. Life can be hard and frustrating. Having a time to talk, express and explore with a trained counselor can offer a path toward hopefulness.
