UnitedHealthcare UHC | UBH Therapists in Nob Hill, San Francisco, CA

Hello, I'm Dr. Alicia Millard. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. My approach to therapy is building rapport, listening to the client, and guiding your healing process. My focus areas are PTSD, complex trauma, depression, life and career coaching, and substance use. Typically, I focus my work on adults, individuals, and teenagers aged 13-17 years old. I am most comfortable working with clients with trauma, substance use, anxiety, depression, life transitions, career coaching, and relationship difficulties.

I have over 38 years of experience working with a wide range of client concerns. I strongly believe in collaboration with other health and wellness professionals so that you can meet your mental health needs as soon as possible. I view myself as a guide in your process of meeting your personal needs.

Ready to conquer that life transition, anxiety/worry or improve your relationship? I specialize in helping people overcome anxiety, making successful life transitions, and making lasting relationship improvements.

I believe that “healing starts with being human.” We can heal, thrive, and evolve when we understand ourselves and what will serve in our growth. By our very nature we are built to survive, but we can learn how to turn surviving into thriving. At the end of the day we all seem to need these three things: to be seen, to be heard, and to be understood. This is what you will have in our work together as it serves as the catalyst for change. Searching for a therapist can be scary, confusing, and frustrating, but for what it's worth... I commend you for taking this step for yourself.

Life experiences can harden you, and make you feel alone in your pain. Therapy can help connect you back to life again. I specialize in providing therapy to adult children of immigrant families, adults who have been parentified as children, and eldest daughters within their family system. I am attuned to how intergenerational trauma is passed down, and how these ancestral legacies can leave an imprint on how you relate to yourself, your family, and your community. I acknowledge how systems of power and cultural dynamics have a real impact on your psyche.

My passion is to work with individuals who have experienced trauma and abuse and who are suffering from anxiety, anger, depression or other symptoms of PTSD and Dissociative Identity Disorder as a result of that trauma. I have experience working with victims of domestic violence and narcissistic abuse. I love working with high functioning autistic clients and other neurodiverse populations. Lastly, I also enjoy working with Highly Sensitive people and work with spiritual concerns, spiritual exploration and religious trauma of any kind. Please see my website for more information about me.

Hi! I'm a therapist, an executive coach & career advisor. I can help you to figure out why you feel unsettled or are challenged with a relationship, life transition, or chronic health condition.

I use coaching techniques also and can help you navigate the work world effectively for greatest job satisfaction. I look forward to talking with you, reach out for a free consultation call.

If you find yourself trapped in an emotional cycle despite your best efforts, you might be wondering about the unconscious factors at play. In sessions, we'll delve into deeper layer with empathy and understanding. I honor your unique journey and work to uncover how past events continue to influence your present challenges. By exploring these connections, we can gain clarity and facilitate meaningful growth and self-acceptance. My goal is to support you in finding freedom from these constraints.

Perhaps you need a safe space to explore your emotions, develop self-compassion, and improve your relationships in order to find inner peace, resilience, and a sense of fulfillment. If you want to overcome your struggles with ADHD, trauma, anxiety, depression or addiction and lead a happier, more balanced life then you are in the right place. You want to be in control of your life and together with a tailored plan we can get your there! Please visit my personal website amyratkovich.com to further explore my back and style.

I specialize in helping and guiding seasoned executives better manage chronic stress so they can avoid burnout, due to their grueling schedules and unrelenting corporate pressures. Together, we'll unveil and alter destructive thought patterns and flawed coping mechanisms (i.e. like substance abuse & alcohol). Therapy can also empower you to master your anxieties. Unshakable success on the surface may sometimes conceal self-esteem struggles and impostor syndrome, which we can overcome. My expertise aids in rebuilding confidence, while acknowledging past impact. Through therapy you'll find constructive outlets to reset and thrive.
