About Your Psychologist

Dr. Miller provides comprehensive psychological evaluation and individual psychotherapy to adults of all ages, with particular expertise in serving legislators, legislative staff, law enforcement, former military, and other government agency employees, as well as civilians working in finance, medicine, journalism, and the legal industry.

  

Dr. Miller has extensive experience treating mood and anxiety disorders, including depression, bipolar disorders, generalized anxiety, panic disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, specific phobias, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).  He also has extensive experience treating relationship difficulties, including marital, dating, family, and workplace relationships.

  

Dr. Miller conceptualizes patients' struggles from an existential perspective, which fully appreciates the role of our fundamental drives and those traits that are common across the human psyche and human experience.  As such, Dr. Miller's clinical "techniques" are integrative.  More specifically, he integrates existential, psychodynamic, humanistic, and cognitive-behavioral psychological theories with continental philosophy, theology, modern history, economic theory, anthropology, and six of the seven fine arts, as well as tenets of contemporary Japanese culture.  In addition, his engagement with patients emphasizes the hallmark (and cornerstone) of psychological health:  authenticity.
