Nicole Miller Psychotherapy, LPC

I started out working in a daycare, teaching young minds while going to school. From the daycare, I moved on to working as a BA for a few years. I then went on to work in an inpatient psychiatric unit where I worked with adults struggling with many immediate psychiatric and addiction needs. Once I completed graduate school, I moved to an acute partial program, working with adults until I ended up in addiction treatment services. During this time, I also worked with children and adolescents who struggled with ADHD, depression, anxiety, substance use, mood disorders, and more. I believe that my experience working with such a diverse population has helped me grow into the therapist I am today. I am extremely patient, compassionate, empathetic, and sympathetic.

In order for us to get to know each other, I conduct an initial intake, gathering information about family history, any societal stressors, and previous treatment history. I have a lot of handouts and information sheets that I like to give to clients as needed. I like working with clients who are engaged in treatment, motivated for growth, and open to exploring various treatment approaches.

I took a lot of training in DBT. Although I’m not a specialist, I like to incorporate mindfulness and grounding techniques into my practice. I am very interested in childhood trauma and how that affects life for adults. I've taken training on that and would like to study more.
