About Me (she/her)

    Struggling with anxiety, trauma, or feeling stuck in patterns that no longer serve you?

    I’m Emilia Milheim, a Licensed Master Social Worker offering in-person sessions in Frederick for teens (13+) and adults, including older adults—with convenient evening hours to fit your schedule.

    I support individuals navigating anxiety, depression, OCD, trauma, and identity-related concerns. During my MSW program at the University of Baltimore, I worked with survivors of domestic and sexual violence—an experience that continues to inform my trauma-informed, compassionate approach.

    I use techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), and Psychodynamic Therapy, always tailoring our work to your unique needs and goals. I believe therapy should be collaborative, culturally sensitive, and grounded in your lived experience—because you’re the expert on your own life. Together, we’ll create a space where healing and growth feel possible.

    About Me (she/her)

      Hi! I’m Caroline.

      Life can be overwhelming and exhausting; and even when it’s not, it can be helpful to have someone to talk with.

      When working with me, you can expect that I will believe that you know yourself and your life circumstances best. We will work together to address your points of conflict and how we can best meet your needs working together. I use aspects of multiple therapeutic modalities, as I believe it is important to be flexible and match the techniques to the needs of each specific client. This could be aspects of CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy), Motivational Interviewing, DBT (Dialectical Behavioral Therapy), etc.

      I work with people who have many different reasons for coming to therapy. Some of these include: anxiety and depression, identity formation, difficult life transitions. Some of the people I tend to work with: young adults and teens, LGBTQ+.

          About Me (she/her)

            Life’s challenges can often leave individuals feeling overwhelmed, lost, or disconnected from their true selves. This pain, whether it stems from trauma, anxiety, or relationship difficulties, can feel isolating and unmanageable.

            By integrating a Dialectical Behavior Therapy informed approach with narrative therapy, clients can learn to understand and manage their emotions, develop healthier coping strategies, and transform their personal stories into ones of empowerment and growth. With a focus on radical acceptance, emotional regulation, and meaning-making, clients are supported in rebuilding resilience and finding new ways to approach life’s obstacles.

            If you’re ready to take the next step toward healing and reclaiming your narrative, reach out today to begin the journey toward a more fulfilling and balanced life.
