Sally Millsap is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in California with 30 years of experience. She helps people manage anger, stress, anxiety, grief, parenting challenges, relationship strain, and life changes. She also supports those dealing with trauma, addiction, career setbacks, and eating or intimacy-related concerns.

Her background is mostly in medical social work. She trained at Graceland College (BSW) and earned a Master of Social Work from the University of Iowa. Early in her career she worked in inpatient rehabilitation counseling people after strokes, spinal cord injuries, and head injuries.

Sally has experience in high-risk obstetrics and neonatal intensive care. She supported parents of NICU babies, worked with drug-exposed infants and their families, and ran a parent support group. She has counseled people facing pregnancy loss, postpartum depression, domestic violence, and adoption decisions.

After moving to California 13 years ago, she joined a children’s hospital where she worked on the Child Protection Team. She co-facilitates a grief support group and counsels parents of children with chronic medical conditions. Much of her work involves helping people adjust to major life shifts and caregiving stress.

Sally describes working with diverse populations and across age ranges as a practical strength. Her approach focuses on listening, helping clients identify values and goals, and using straightforward strategies to reduce reactivity and improve coping.
