Child and Adolescent Therapy

While employing a similar treatment approach to his adult patients, Dr. Miller believes that early intervention with children and adolescents is essential for preventing future problems. The professional relationship that is co-created between doctor and patient is vital.  It is important that the psychologist be professional, intelligent, well trained, trustworthy, compassionate and a positive role model who can guide your child through difficult life transitions.  This allows for maximal emotional growth and healing. Dr. Miller may utilize drawing techniques and role-playing to determine the cause of symptoms because young children sometimes have difficulty with self expression. Upon initial consultation, Dr. Miller meets with parent(s) for collaboration of a mutually agreeable course of treatment ensuring success. Additionally, parenting collaboration is a necessary component of treatment. Dr. Miller often consults with physicians, pediatricians and school counselors about his patients needs.
