When everything feels messy,
and nothing feels clear,
you don't have to figure it out alone.
Notice:
As of Friday June 12, 2026, booking links are temporarily down, but you can book a Starting Point Session here:
If you would like to get in contact with me and/or schedule a group or indivdiual session, you can send me an inquiry here:
Practical support for people navigating overwhelm, mental health systems, and difficult life transitions.
How It Works
1. Start here
Start in a way that feels comfortable:
Book a session, or fill out the form at the bottom.
2. I follow up
I’ll personally follow up within 24–48 hours with a few simple options to connect.
3. We connect
We meet for a short Starting Point session by Zoom.
We slow things down, organize what is going on, and create a clear plan.
4. Continue if it feels helpful
There is no pressure to commit.
You can book additional sessions, join a group or check in as needed.
If you are not sure where to start, that is okay.
Simple, transparent support
If things feel overwhelming, start with Starting Point.
Continue with Clarity or Psychoeducation to go deeper.
Not everyone is ready for therapy. Some people do not have access to it. Others feel unsure, intimidated, or do not know where to begin.
This space is a middle ground. A place to slow things down, talk through what is going on, and explore options without pressure.
You do not need to commit to therapy, search endlessly for the right fit, or have everything figured out.
This is about taking one small step so you can decide what feels right for you.
When you book, everything is handled in one step,
so you can just focus on showing up.
If you need a different option, just reach out.

About Mila
Hi, I’m Mila (Lauren). I created this space because I know what it feels like to be overwhelmed and not know where to start.
Before this, I worked in healthcare for over a decade as a registered nurse. I spent years inside the system, caring for people in high-stress, high-stakes environments. I saw how complicated, fragmented, and stressful it is to maneuver through mental health care.
Personally, while working the COVID-19 pandemic, I was battling my own mental health. I had periods of feeling completely dysregulated, and truthfully, extremely helpless. I have been in therapy. I have been the patient. I have sat in waiting rooms. I have had moments where everything felt like too much.
That combination is what led to Mila & Co.
Sometimes you just need someone who understands both the emotional side and the system side.
I bring both.
Outside of this work, you will usually find me with my dog, Toby. He is a big part of how I regulate and reset when things feel chaotic. You are always welcome to have your own pets nearby during sessions.
A few small things about me. I'm ambidextrous. I love ladybugs. I take my mug collection very seriously. I live for hoodies and cozy blankets, and on the side, I am a singer and songwriter.
If you’re here, you don’t need a perfect plan, and you don't need to have all the answers; you just need a way forward.
It would be an honor to help you. We will figure it out together.
