Alesia Millard

My name is Alesia Millard, and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in the State of Colorado. I bring both clinical training and lived compassion to my work. I am also a Certified Addictions Specialist (CAS) and a National Certified Counselor (NCC) through the National Board of Certified Counselors. In addition, I hold recognition as a Certified Advanced Grief Counseling Specialist (CAGCS) through Evergreen Certifications.

My academic background includes a Master’s in Clinical Mental Health and a Bachelor of Arts in Sociology. These qualifications support my ability to integrate evidence-based practices with an understanding of the human experience.

What this means for you is that I am committed to creating a safe, supportive space where you can feel heard, understood, and empowered. My approach balances professionalism with warmth, so you can trust that you are working with someone who not only has the credentials but also truly cares about your growth and well-being.

As an LPC, CAS, and NCC, my areas of competence include individual counseling, couple and marital counseling, and substance dependency counseling. I specialize in trauma, grief and loss, addictive and impulse control, alcohol and substance dependency, anxiety, and depression. My focus areas also include ADHD, anger management, behavioral concerns, stress management, family and relationship issues, interpersonal conflict, and self-esteem and identity work.

In my approach, I aim to empower clients with current insights from neuroscience so they can better understand their symptoms and begin to depathologize their experiences. I often say, “It’s not you, it’s your brain.” By helping clients recognize how the brain and nervous system respond to stress, trauma, and emotions, they gain tools to work with their biology instead of against it. This creates space for self-compassion, growth, and meaningful change.

Many people come to therapy feeling distressed and seeking healing from past or current emotional pain. My goal is to provide a safe and welcoming space where you can explore, heal, and grow. Within this space, we focus on your unique goals and the changes you want to see in your life.

You can expect to leave sessions with practical tools and techniques you can use outside of therapy, along with deeper insight into why you may think, feel, or respond the way you do. With this greater self-awareness, you can begin to shift unhelpful patterns, reduce self-blame, and make intentional choices that improve your life and relationships.

Over the course of our time together, you may find yourself feeling more empowered, supported, and confident in your ability to handle challenges with clarity and resilience. In our work together, I’ll help you build the awareness and skills to trust yourself more fully, create meaningful changes that last, and strengthen your relationships so you can live with greater confidence and connection.
