Ena Millward

Beyond my preparation in social work and counseling, I also have a degree in anthropology which guides me through work with all clients, no matter their background. Much of my daily work is done within a department dedicated to international students. I've also taught master's level courses on social work with diverse clients, and have spoken at Chicago-area universities on the importance of culturally responsive work.

Much of my work has focused on supporting individuals in times of transition, whether they are navigating educational and career changes or shifting into new life stages. I understand that these transitions often come with uncertainty, identity shifts, and emotional challenges. My approach provides not only practical guidance but also the emotional and psychological support needed to help individuals move forward with confidence.

I am actively training in EMDR and am a strong believer in its effectiveness in processing trauma and fostering deep healing. My goal is to integrate EMDR with talk-based therapies to provide a more comprehensive approach to treatment. By doing so, I aim to increase my clients' capacity to access their inner strengths and resources, empowering them on their journey toward resilience and joy.
