Trisha Miller, Ph.D. is a licensed Clinical Psychologist with 22 years experience providing psychological services.  Her orientation as a therapist is to facilitate each client in their healing through promoting their ability to nurture themselves.  Her dissertation on self-nurturance was the beginning of her life-long study on the human process of learning to take responsibility for health and well-being.  Dr. Miller integrates many models of psychology and psychotherapy, as she sees appropriate to each individual client’s set of needs and perceptions, to promote his or her development of integrity and self-nurturance. 

Dr. Miller works with a wide variety of clients.  Although she used to do extensive psychological testing, she does not at this time provide this service, but assists parents in understanding the results of such testing and often refers to other professionals to provide needed testing.  She provides psychotherapy to children and adolescents, as young as age 3, with challenges such as being in foster care or adoption, parental divorce, ADHD, learning problems,  Asperger’s Disorder, depression, anxiety, history of abuse or other trauma, grief, eating disorders, defiance and other behavior problems,  and adjustment disorders.  She works with adults who are addressing issues of stress, depression, anxiety, burnout, history of trauma, eating disorders, ADHD, relationship problems, issues associated with homosexuality,  and adjustment disorders.  In addition to individual therapy, Dr. Miller can provide couples’ therapy and family therapy.
