Online and In-Person Therapy — Glenview and Skokie, Illinois
Dr. Miller is a teen and adult therapist who meets virtually and in-person at her office in Glenview, Illinois. She has experience working with those who struggle with anxiety, social anxiety, depression and related issues. Other specialities include helping clients navigate healthy interpersonal relationships and supporting healthy parent-child relationships. She also specializes in grief, loss and life transitions. She respects the values of traditionally-minded, ethnic, faith-based and spiritual individuals.
As member of PSYPRO, an inter-jurisdictional cooperative, Dr. Miller is able to do teletherapy not only in Illinois, but in 30 additional states. Dr. Miller is Dual Licensed as a Clinical Psychologist and a School Psychologist.
Dr. Miller’s mission is to facilitate good health overall. She works to thoroughly understand the client’s emotional and health issues, personal and family background, and individual goals for therapy. She uses evidence-based treatment interventions that have been scientifically proven to provide consistent, lasting recovery.
Dr. Miller’s goal is paradoxical: to empower the client to consistently be able to cope with a wide variety of challenges, and then to make her services no longer needed as the client gains skills over time. Becoming obsolete is the sign of success – for the therapist and client alike.
“I recognize that it can takes a lot of courage for many people to reach out to seek help. I respect each person and their personal journey that leads them to seek my support and assistance. I tailor my interventions to the goals, challenges, culture, age, developmental level, personality and interests of each patient.”
“I take a non-judgmental approach to people, which enables my patients to trust me with their deepest experiences. Therapeutic bonds form easily and naturally, and we are able to explore many areas of a person’s past and present. We work on getting to the root of dysfunctional behavior, and I am able to assist in propelling individuals to move forward to achieving their therapeutic goals and ambitions in life.”
“I take a positive therapeutic attitude, emphasizing strengths over weaknesses. Through my experiences within both the educational and clinical practice environment, I am able to help individuals navigate their educational systems and find unique solutions to create success in a full range of settings.”
Dr. Miller’s approach to therapy is integrative, drawing on elements of many different types of therapies. She respects the cultural backgrounds of her diverse clientele, and matches interventions to address the unique needs and background of each client and/or family system. Dr. Miller takes a holistic approach to body, mind and spirit, recognizing the integral link between all three. She integrates each client’s cultural background and religious belief system into treatment. Dr. Miller fosters the creation of a warm and supportive environment, in which clients are able to explore, learn and understand, while simultaneously achieving their goals.
Dr. Miller has the sensitivity and experience needed to provide compassionate, non-judgmental support as well as effective therapeutic interventions. She has helped parents understand how their own childhood experiences impact their parenting, and what they need to do in order to support the development of their children. In her capacity as a school psychologist, Dr. Miller has worked with children ages 3-22, and was intricately involved in the developmental processes that lead to successful outcomes.
Integrative Behavior Solutions integrates a variety of therapeutic tools, including CBT, DBT and EMDR. These can help to reduce depression and anxiety and rebuild self-esteem and resiliency.
Dr. Miller works with mothers having difficulty adjusting to the various stages of their children’s development. She promotes healthy and secure attachments, which build parent-child relationships as well as develop stronger and more resilient children.
Dr. Miller is trained as a mediator from The Center for Conflict Resolution in Chicago and at times uses these skills to help improve strained parent-child relationships. When needed, Dr. Miller works with parents on enhancing their skills in order to re-align their parent-child relationships.
Dr. Miller specializes in working with those who are gifted yet suffer from performance anxiety, social anxiety and depression.
