You deserve therapy for exactly who you are and what you’ve been through.
A safe, welcoming space for you to feel your feelings and be yourself is the foundation for all good therapy: I offer LGBTQ+ affirming, neuroaffirming, and trauma-informed therapy in every single session.
I am a licensed therapist in Alberta (RSW, MSW) based in Edmonton. I am trained in ways to calm and heal your nervous system, resolve trauma, and keep you feeling connected and informed every step of the way.
I offer sessions in my Edmonton office, walking outside, or virtually across Alberta.
You deserve therapy that meets you where you are at!
I’m Milo – I provide a safe, welcoming space for you to feel your feelings and be yourself. I offer sessions in my Edmonton office, walking outside, or virtually across Alberta. I blend trauma-informed practice, nature & forest therapy, narrative therapy, and IFS-informed Parts Work to make being human a little easier.
Complex trauma is how our bodies react to things being too much or not enough for too long. Whether it’s minority stress from ongoing microaggressions, unmet needs around neurodiversity, spending years in the closet, or a chronically abusive or neglectful childhood, your body can hold these experiences as trauma.
Trauma therapy can help you heal triggers, resolve dissociation, calm emotions, stop nightmares & intrusive thoughts, build healthier relationships, and feel like a real person.
Relationships are so important to you, but you still get stuck in cycles of arguing, criticism, defensiveness, and distance. Everyday stresses around parenting, planning, & finances start to feel overwhelming. Old wounds come up. Betrayal, grief, and trauma in the relationship make it feel painful and confusing to relate to this person you supposedly love.
Relational therapy can help you with communication, calm, emotional & physical intimacy, and become the dream team you’ve always wanted to be.
Everyone deserves to have a safe adult who understands and celebrates who they are, but LGBTQ+, Two Spirit, and questioning youth often have big emotions and big questions, on top of the depression, anxiety, bullying, and trauma that comes along with marginalized experiences.
Child & teen therapy can help you understand your gender and sexuality, find more positive friendships and relationships, and become the most creative, courageous, connected version of yourself.
I also have experience with: ADHD, Anxiety, Autism, Autistic Burnout, Body Image, Borderline Personality (BPD), Caregiver Burnout, Chronic Pain, Chronic Stress, Chronic Suicidal Ideation, Codependency, Depression, Dissociative Disorders (DID), Family Conflicts, Friendship Conflicts, Gender Dysphoria, Grief, Premarital Counselling, PTSD, Open Relationships & Non-Monogamy, Low Self Esteem, Sex Therapy, and Spirituality
I’m Milo Offerein (they/them), and I am obsessed with the way that human brains have the natural ability to heal and grow.
After experiencing my own nervous system transformation with EMDR and parts work, I am deeply inspired to help other people experience the version of themselves they want to be. I am a very specific combination of structured and flexible, and one of my biggest skills as a therapist is getting it to work for people who have trouble with therapy.
When I am not in session, you can find me deep-diving into astrology & tarot, climbing, or listening to my kids infodump their most recent special interest.

I’m Milo Offerein (they/them), I provide trauma-informed psychotherapy for adults, youth, and couples. I’m interested in the way that nature teaches us how to “self-direct, self-correct, and self-actualize”, the amazing resilience of human beings, and spreading hope.

Everyone comes to therapy with a unique history and context. Connecting to your body and emotions is a journey… and trauma, grief, pain, stress, neurodiversity, and marginalization don’t make it simple. Together, we will use trauma-informed, relational, and somatic strategies to befriend your body, regulate your nervous system, and understand your world.
Moving out of survival mode takes gentleness. Let’s remind your nervous system how to heal itself with parts work (Internal Family Systems), expressive arts, mindfulness, mind-body connection, and lots of playfulness and laughter. When we encounter traumas and repeating cycles along the way, we’ll meet them with bravery and self acceptance.
Your life is not a single story: it’s hundreds of stories! As you move through resolving and recovering from your past, new stories about the future come into perspective. I love writing and record-keeping as a way of tracking our progress together, and storytelling as a way to speak new possibilities into existence.
Like being outside? Walking sessions are offered for sessions with solo adults. These take place in the Highlands neighborhood.
