Dr. Dwan Milam-Reed, PhD. LCSW-S, LICSW

About Me

I am certified in anxiety and trauma (EMDR). I am also a relationship expert with a PhD in marriage and family therapy and a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW-S, LICSW). I have over 19 years of experience providing therapy to individuals, couples, groups, and families. Many of my clients choose alternative methods for dealing with anxiety and depression instead of prescription medication. I am also a certified herbalist and a practitioner of yoga. I'm not just EMDR "trained", but also certified with advanced hours in trauma. Best times to reach me for a free phone consultation - before 11 am, between 2-3:00 and after 7 pm. I'm licensed in Texas, Arizona, Minnesota, and Connecticut. I am trained in CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy) and I am a certified facilitator for Prepare/Enrich (marital & premarital). I help couples work through their conflicts and achieve the kind of relationship they desire. I am happily married and the mother of two young adults. I work from a Christian framework. I'm an adjunct at Fordham University. I developed the "Fierce Self-Esteem" course at fierceselfesteem.com, an interactive course with over 70 modules, including lectures, assessments, activities, and discussion.
