I am a doctoral-level psychologist trained in both empirical research methods and clinical practice. I draw from the psychotherapy research literature in devising my interventions, integrating methods that have been proven and empirically validated.
And because the research suggests that the most important aspect of successful psychotherapy is developing a safe and trusting therapeutic relationship, I pay particular attention to forming a respectful, non-hierarchical, interactive and engaged connection with my clients.

When I first met Milam, he told me that our job together was to make me my own best friend. I didn't fully understand what he meant at the time. I have been seeing Milam regularly for over 8 months now, and wow, I'm feeling it!
Milam started our work together with a complimentary phone conversation to introduce himself and to get a feel for why I wanted his help. I felt like I was speaking to someone who inhabited the same planet. His approach is accepting, comforting, respectful, and grounded in reality. I found it easy to trust him, and he patiently let me get there. We often start

He helped me through a number of issues from self esteem, confidence, general happiness, family, career and friendship to achieve great strides. I'm so grateful for his profound impact on my life. He's invaluable. 5-Stars is simply not enough. Thanks Milam!

Where do I begin? Milam Freitag works wonders! I had been to numerous therapists over the years for various issues, but after several years working with Milam, I can truly say he changed my life for the better. He is the most compassionate person who truly allows you to be you and is there to help guide you and support you through whatever the issue you have in your life is. He works a lot with EMDR and mindfulness practice - which have really changed my life. I am now meditate daily and it has been such an amazing experience. I wholeheartedly recommend Milam for anyone going through a tough

Milam Freitag is a fantastic therapist and I highly recommend him! Milam and I have worked together off and on for the last nine years. His warm, light, and kind manner always puts me at ease and opens the door for me to connect with how I am truly feeling. Milam integrates mindfulness into his therapy practice as well as his own life, which is very apparent when you work with him. He is insightful and grounded and backs it all up with extensive experience and education. Above all, Milam is dedicated to helping his clients lead full lives and I believe he has found his gift in that regard. Do something

Milam and I have worked together for a long time---and he's been invaluable in helping me deal with PTSD issues, self-esteem, relationship issues, and most importantly, recovery from addiction. Milam has a caring and gentle manner, and his insight has really helped me get through many difficult times. I would highly recommend Milam to anyone. (and have!)

Milam has helped me repeatedly throughout the years. His approach has taught me to be a more loving and caring person for myself, and I feel we've made demonstrable progress towards letting me live a freer and happier life with OCD. He always goes out of his way to accommodate my crazy schedule, and has never shown me anything other than love. I can't recommend him enough!

Milam is Amazing ! Actually I don't know why I am the first person to write a review for him, I expected to see more reviews here !
I am his client for 3-4 years.
He is so professional, understanding and helpful. Besides all, friendly and warm.
He really helped me for my relationships, not just with guys, with friends, family, etc .
Although he is American, born and raised here, he has a great understanding of different cultures !
He will help you, and not hesitating to recommend you to someone else if he thinks s/he might be more helpful ( for me, the case was benji, which he gave me a recommendation
