Gestalt Somatics IFS & Liberation Psychology

I offer therapy for adult professionals, teenagers, couples and families across California and am located in the San Francisco Bay Area. 

My primary training is in Gestalt Therapy and I have focused my continued education on Existential Phenomenology and Humanistic Therapies.

My practice and education supports my ability to creatively pull from a wide variety of orientations. Most often, these include Somatics, Internal Family Systems, Attachment Theory, Polyvagal Theory and Psychologies of Liberation.

What does this mean?

I do not see my clients as a diagnosis. We are so much more complex than words on a page can ever describe. I will carefully study your system, offering supportive curiosity and compassion while challenging you to grow, with realistic ideas, towards integrating your life's story and shifting your experience towards harmony.

Welcome! I'm Alexandra (Xana) Cook-Milligan AMFT. I started my therapy practice in January of 2020, after completing my graduate degree at the California Institute of Integral Studies.  

My style is warm, direct and non-judgmental. I love my work as a therapist and take great care to provide personalized and focused attunement.

My hearts work is supporting my clients in untangling from what no longer serves, honoring lessons and growing into vitality.

I offer a free 15 minute consultation (vibe check) to make sure we are a good fit therapeutically and can match our schedules. 

If you prefer to skip the consultation, I will email you some preliminary questions and paperwork before our first scheduled meeting. 

Please feel free to reach out with questions. If you call, please leave a message and I will return your call within 48 hours. 

You are also welcome to text or email.
