Hi, I'm Matt. As a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT), my expertise is in reconnecting spouses and family members who genuinely seek to change their relationship. However, I also excel at applying systemic insights to many individual problems, such as anxiety, depression, anger, or low self-esteem. I find the most success with people who've tried everything else, but haven't yet been able to escape the problem they feel stuck with. Systemic insights are evidence based and backed by current research. You don't know it yet, but there's a way in which you and your experiences make sense, and I like it when things make sense.

Today, you are one step closer to feeling more empowered and embarking on a positive path that leads to personal growth and well-being. Greetings, I am Dr. Miller, a psychodynamic therapist and counselor. I provide therapy to adults, children (aged 6+ years), adolescents, couples, groups, and families. My key objective is to assist you to realize your true potential and lead a life that is worth celebrating, and this is best achieved by using an eclectic, integrative approach.

With over 25 years of experience in this field, I am unique and eclectic in my approach. I particularly enjoy working with clients who have been seen as "difficult" by others or who have been dissatisfied with counseling in the past. I recognize the hard work that goes into bringing about change, but still feel the overall experience in counseling should be enjoyable. I am passionate about my work and try to make myself as accessible as possible. I welcome the opportunity to discuss your issues with you in a totally free/phone consultation.

When experiencing life's many challenges it can be hard to stay motivated and hopeful. I can offer support, encouragement, and guidance while providing practical skills that meet your unique needs. In my practice, I view the client-therapist relationship as one that is collaborative and I utilize a strength-based and solution-focused approach. You will be provided a safe space for you to explore your thoughts and feelings free of judgment while we work together to achieve your goals. I strive for my clients to feel respected, heard, and validated during sessions.

Suppose you returned home one night to your "empty" house on a corner to find the door smashed open, and sounds of someone inside and things falling on the floor. Afraid, you walk around the corner where your neighbor then tells you she saw smoke coming from your window and the firemen are inside finding the cause. Your attitude toward the intruders completely changes when you understand their purpose. I give clients similar insight about the problems hurting them and their relationships. It's tragic to suffer and to fear solvable problems because you don't understand them.

There comes a time when we all need a safe and comfortable place we can take our personal experiences and express that which may be keeping us from living our best life. Whether you are struggling with depression, anxiety, grief and loss, divorce, anger, self-esteem, relationship challenges or any other issue, I am committed to helping you navigate through those difficult and rough terrains. I consider it a privilege when I am invited into the most personal and sacred spaces of my clients’ lives. Therefore I am committed to providing each client with an individually tailored treatment plan that will address their specific needs.

I enjoy working with individuals, couples, and families, and assisting them through the rough patches they encounter. I have experience working with depression, anxiety, grief, stress management, school/work issues, child and adolescent challenges, parenting and family issues, conflict resolution, and anger management to name a few.

Hello and Welcome! I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with extensive experience and specialized training in optimizing mental wellness, developing healthy relationships, and cultivating confidence.  Based firmly in neuroscience, evidence-based practice, and psychodynamic therapy techniques, I guide my patients every step of the way in developing new attitudes towards life's most complex matters. Allow me to help you manage your anxiety, conquer your depression, overcome your trauma, and improve your relationship(s).

Taking the first step to talk to a therapist can be overwhelming and frightening. It takes strength and courage, but it can be life changing. My goal is to create a safe, caring and nonjudgemental space for clients to be heard and understood. It is my privilege to work with individuals and couples to instill hope, empowerment, and support personal growth. Communicating feelings in a safe environment promotes healing through expression, which often leads to insight into self and more meaningful connections with others. Taking the first step is the most difficult step.

If you have a child who is struggling with behavioral issues and you just can't understand what is going on, come see me. I see children as young as 3 years old. Using play as their voice I will help your child with those issues by teaching coping skills and gently guiding them to think before acting. At times I will provide you with tools to use at home so your child has consistent support. I have experience working with children on the spectrum, ADHD, ADD, ODD, Conduct Disorder, and DMDD. I also have experience working with both children and adults with anxiety, panic attacks, depression, and trauma.

My therapeutic philosophy is that Individuals need to be a part of their own solutions. I strive to empower clients to feel that their successes come from themselves and are the result of their own hard work. My experience in social work is deliberately broad to address a wide range of concerns. My background includes child development/behavioral issues, Individual, couples counseling, adolescent, vocational/employment counseling, chronic disease case management, Advocacy and Life coaching.

Change is something that we can always rely on. It will come into our lives whether welcomed or not. Being able to find inner balance and develop resiliency can help a person move through these changes. The start of this journey to establish inner balance, whether triggered due to illness, depression, anxiety, stress, or something else, can begin with outreach for support. I am drawn to the human spirit and I love working with individuals to fulfill their ultimate potential. I work to create a safe environment that allows for exploration and vulnerability, the emergence of awareness, strength, and resiliency.

I specialize in Depression, Anxiety, & Trauma/Substance Use. I introduce therapeutic interventions appropriate for an individual's comfort level, leading to long-term personal growth. I allow you to "take the wheel" and work with you as you define your therapy goals. I encourage you to have a voice, to speak up if an area of your treatment is not working for you, and to ask questions. I am candid in that if there is an answer to a question I do not know, I will research and consult with my supervisor to get you the best answer possible.

I have my masters degree in clinical mental health counseling. I focus on acting as a therapeutic support in assisting people in improving their lives by gaining personal insights about themselves. My goal is to help clients gain stability and manageability over their underlying problems that impeded on them being a productive member of society. I help clients to develop healthy coping skills and raise level of functioning as well as satisfaction.

From an early age I have been intrigued by the human mind and how it works. This interest has been enhanced through my study of psychology and human behavior. Psychotherapy remains a complex although understandable endeavor. That doesn't mean it's easy-for either client or therapist. If you, as the client is committed to doing the work in therapy, the process will promote tremendous change and growth over time-even though most of us yearn for a quick, painless cure!
