My name is Bruce Miller, I am a Licensed Clinical Social worker. I have worked with various populations and have a diverse background including people with trauma, crisis, depression, anxiety, grief and loss and relationship problems.
A bit about my approach to therapy
I very much like a positive and solution focused to therapy. I think it is important to view problems as an opportunity for building resilience by utilizing past strengths and successes. It’s my goal for clients to feel supported and enriched during and after each session. I like a person-centered approach meaning you are in charge; we go at your speed and things should always be comfortable for you during therapy.
What you can expect from our first session
My clients typically tell me how much better they feel after one session. Rapport building initially and I want to hear your story! I don't want anyone to feel uncomfortable or like they are giving up their past to someone they don't know. I believe in a trust-based relationship and going at your pace as you are comfortable. Mostly, clients tell me they feel like they have chatted with a friend but realize there has been growth in the conversation.
I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, family conflicts, coping with grief and loss, & intimacy related issues. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. Seeking positive change can be challenging and sometimes scary. I applaud you for taking this first step. Let's get started!
