Milena Kazakov is a Licensed Clinical Social worker in SoHo, New York. She is an expert in trauma, working with adults who have experienced difficult life events ranging from an unstable or neglectful childhood to survivors of abuse and interpersonal violence. She prioritizes helping clients restore their sense of control and self-regulation and find power in overcoming challenging circumstances.
In addition to her trauma expertise, Milena's practice is safe and welcoming for a wide-ranging clientele, including artists and creatives, bicultural people, members of the LGBTQIA community, and anyone who is feeling a little lost in the world and is seeking clarity in next steps. Her approach is primarily insight-oriented, helping clients to break through internal barriers to find new meaning in relationships and foster greater self-compassion.
Milena's office is a respite from a busy world placing competing demands for emotional energy. She invites each client to refocus their attention inward, nurturing their connection to their inner self and the strength that lies within. Her office is located a short walk from the Spring St, Prince St and Houston St subway stations.
