About Me
My name is Danika Mills
I am a therapist and mom of three who supports health in all stages. I use interventions informed by intersectional feminism, anti-racist frameworks, reproductive justice, and a trauma-informed lens. With over 15 years of experience in healthcare, including specialties in women's health and health tech, I bring a unique blend of expertise to help you navigate life's challenges and opportunities. As a seasoned Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Certified Case Manager, and Licensed Creative Arts Therapist, I believe in a holistic approach to healing, one that encompasses both mind and body. While I specialize in treating women, I am supportive and welcoming to all genders.
​
I am also the founder of Mission Catalyst Consulting LLC, a firm that helps nonprofits and health tech companies navigate the changing landscape of healthcare delivery and participate in value-based care via fractional talent and strategic planning.

Starting Therapy
Research highlights the significance of the therapist-client relationship in determining the success of treatment. Take a moment to reflect on whether we might be a good match. It's perfectly alright if we're not, or if you'd like an introductory session to make that decision. You deserve care that feels right from the very beginning.
​
In our first session together, my primary goal is to establish a comfortable and trusting environment where you feel heard, understood, and supported. We'll start with introductions and discuss any specific concerns or goals you have and move into how and what a treatment path could look like, along with the next steps.

What to expect
In my practice, we may use evidence-based approaches and/or creative arts therapies when words alone fall short. Through various mediums, we will unlock deep-seated emotions and provide a profound outlet for self-expression. This specialized approach offers a safe space for exploration and transformation. Our work will be uniquely tailored to you.
​
My therapeutic style is rooted in positivity and empowerment. I employ solution-focused and strengths-based techniques, ensuring our sessions focus on fostering your innate strengths for actionable solutions. I often use humor as a tool for frustration tolerance or self-regulation. Together, we'll nurture a space of growth, self-discovery, and healing, where you'll feel supported and understood at every turn.
Through our partnership, you will not only overcome obstacles but thrive, leading to a fulfilling, balanced life. It's a privilege to be part of your journey toward a happier, healthier you.
