At Larry Miller, PhD Psychotherapy and Consultation, we offer a safe and non-judgmental environment where personal, cultural, and relational issues can be explored. Our approach is to listen for sources of loss, unresolved problems, and difficulties in connecting with others and oneself. We work collaboratively with our clients to develop a picture of the tasks on which to work, drawing from attachment theory, trauma and its effects, and object-relations theory.

Our Approach

Our primary goal is to help our clients navigate through complex personal, cultural, or relational issues and discover their strengths. We utilize various therapeutic approaches, including attachment theory, play therapy, trauma and its effects, and object-relations theory. Attachment theory is a way of understanding different styles of relating and how we can strengthen our trust in ourselves and others while we learn new communication styles.

When working with children, we use play therapy, which allows children to communicate in their preferred language- the language of play. Through play therapy, children can develop beliefs about how the world operates, their strengths, their worries about themselves in the world, and how to be with others in a caring, mutual manner. We often work simultaneously with children and their caregivers to strengthen their bond.

Treatment Areas

We offer psychotherapy services for a wide range of treatment areas, including:

• Anxiety and depression
• Grief and loss
• Trauma and PTSD
• Relationship issues
• Parenting concerns
• Identity development

We are committed to providing the highest quality of care and support to our clients. Our approach to therapy is collaborative, compassionate, and non-judgmental. We believe that everyone has the capacity for growth and change, and we are here to help our clients achieve their goals and live fulfilling lives.

Cost

The cost of therapy varies depending on the type of service provided and the length of the session. We accept various insurance plans and offer sliding scale fees for clients who need financial assistance. We believe that everyone should have access to mental health services, and we are committed to working with our clients to find a fee structure that is affordable and sustainable.

In conclusion, at Larry Miller, PhD Psychotherapy and Consultation, we provide a safe and supportive environment for our clients to explore complex personal, cultural, or relational issues and discover their strengths.
