As we continue to explore the tenants of the Milestones experience, today we're joined by Clinical Supervisor Amanda Morrow to discuss our innovative trauma expertise.
Together, Mickenzie, Christopher, and Amanda share the "magic" behind the Milestones clinical approach and the innovative recovery that works. As Amanda shares, the differentiating factor amongst the team of highly skilled clinicians is the heart, compassion, and care they bring into everything they do.
She shares about different therapeutic modalities, how we approach trauma and addiction, and encouragement for people considering this work.

What is Living Centered Podcast?
So many of us go through life feeling out of touch with ourselves, others, and the world around us. We feel disconnected, overwhelmed, distracted, and uncertain of how to find the clarity, purpose, and direction we so deeply, so authentically, desire. The Living Centered Podcast in an invitation to another way of living.
Every episode, we sit down with mental health experts, artists, and friends for a practical and honest conversation about how to pursue a more centered life—rediscovering, reclaiming, and rooting in who we truly are.
