Misha Milani, Psy.D, Psychologist in Folsom, California

Dr. Milani has extensive experience treating complex concerns, including bipolar disorder, sleep difficulties, substance use issues, and gender identity exploration. She also offers support for later life and midlife transitions, grief, and health-related stress, recognizing how deeply these experiences impact mental and emotional wellness. Drawing on evidence-based approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and mindfulness, she helps patients manage symptoms while creating lasting positive change.

She is particularly passionate about working with patients facing unique or high-stress situations, including those recently discharged from a psychiatric hospital, individuals navigating workers’ compensation cases, or clients involved in ongoing legal matters. Dr. Milani also provides support for disability-related evaluations and paperwork, helping patients through these often overwhelming processes with both expertise and empathy.

In addition to her clinical specialties, Dr. Milani has a strong background in serving diverse populations. She has worked with military veterans, first responders, and individuals recovering from head injuries, as well as members of the LGBTQ+ community. Her ability to create a safe and supportive environment allows patients to feel respected and understood as they explore their challenges and goals.

Outside of her practice, Dr. Milani enjoys baking, collecting cookbooks, nature walks, movies, and finding humor in everyday life. She also values time with family and friends and prioritizes self-care as part of maintaining balance.
