Find a therapist in Pennsylvania — covered by insurance

I am a licensed clinical social worker, clinical supervisor and psychotherapist.

With an undergraduate degree in fine arts, I initially taught pre-school and kindergarten. After receiving my graduate degree in social service, I became the Director of a high school for emotionally challenged girls who were pregnant or parenting. My career has included work at an outpatient counseling center and as a clinician in a geriatric intensive outpatient program. For many years I worked with patients at an inpatient hospital who were diagnosed with mood disorders, addiction issues or who were experiencing psychosis.

I’ve been helping people heal personal trauma and emotional distress for over 25 years.

As a certified trainer in trauma informed care, I use a variety of techniques and tools to teach you how to calm your inner storm. My professional experience is eclectic. My expertise as a therapist is grounded in my ability to work with all types of people and to address their current needs. Clients range from 5 to 85 years old with various cultural experiences and gender identities.

Some of the feedback that I received from clients are:

"You give me a perspective so I don’t get stuck and I realize I don’t have to solve it all at once

"You have forever affected how I look at things in a positive way"

"You changed how I look at things. I know I can do it, so I achieve it. The re-parenting thing gives me a way to understand people and myself."

"You help people be comfortable in their own skin."

I am a passionate clinician who sees each client as a person with individual needs, wants, and goals. I have experience working with mood, adjustment and anxiety disorders, as well as co-occurring disorder and individuals struggling with interpersonal issues.

Provides services from holistic and spiritual lens in addition to a cognitive behavioral approach.

I am a strong advocate for individuals who feel misunderstood, marginalized, or impacted by stigma. I work with adults who are ready to stop suffering in silence and begin the process of healing and recovery from mental health concerns and/or substance use disorders.

I encounter clients where they are. As we build a relationship, we explore coping skills. I believe that small progress is still progress.

Dr. Milspaw has 25 years clinical experience working with children, parents, and families. She completed her assessment practicum in a forensic setting utilizing objective and projective psychological assessments. Her pre-doctoral internship consisted of intense in-home work with families experiencing severe mental illness.

She owns a private practice, Gallant Psychological and Forensic Services, that recently received an award for 6 consecutive years of being named the best psychologist in Camp Hill, PA. The forensic part of her practice consists mostly of helping families who find themselves involved in the Court system as a result of divorce and custody conflicts.

I would describe my style as warm, affirming, and appropriately challenging. I create a space where you feel safe, respected, and truly heard, while also helping you gently push past the patterns or barriers that may be keeping you stuck. I believe people grow best when they feel supported and encouraged to stretch, and I aim to balance both in our work together.

I am a licensed therapist with a Master’s degree in Community Counseling from Slippery Rock University and an Educational Specialist (Ed.S.) degree from Liberty University. With over 14 years of experience in outpatient therapy and more than 5 years of supervising counseling interns and master’s-level clinicians, I bring both clinical expertise and a strong commitment to supporting fellow professionals in the field.

I have received specialized training in grief treatment using current evidence-based approaches across the lifespan, Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT), and Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT). My clinical experience spans a wide range of ages—from toddlers as young as 2 to individuals in their 80s—and I genuinely enjoy working with all age groups.

I understand that reaching out for support can feel overwhelming, but I believe it’s a powerful and courageous first step toward healing. My goal is to create a safe, compassionate space where you feel heard, respected, and empowered on your journey toward wellness.
