Sally Millsap, LCSW

Sally Millsap is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with more than 30 years of experience in social work and patient-centered care. She earned a Bachelor of Social Work (BSW) from Graceland College with a minor in psychology and went on to receive a Master of Social Work (MSW) from the University of Iowa. Her career has centered largely on medical social work, and she has practiced across four different states.

Early in her career she worked at an inpatient rehabilitation center counseling patients and their families after strokes, spinal cord injuries, and head injuries. She later served on a high-risk obstetrics unit and in a neonatal intensive care unit, supporting drug-exposed infants and their families, high-risk pregnant people, and NICU parents, and she facilitated a support group for those families. She also provided counseling for women facing adoption decisions, fetal demise, domestic violence, postpartum depression, and other pregnancy-related challenges.

Thirteen years ago she relocated to California and joined a children’s hospital, where much of her work is with the Child Protection Team and includes co-facilitating a grief support group. She also supports parents of children with chronic medical conditions and families navigating major life changes. Strong cross-cultural skills and comfort working with people of all ages are noted strengths in her practice.
