As one who has experienced my own traumas, losses and other "bumps in the road" life throws at us, I can identify with others in distress and try to align with them in finding their personal path to healing and empowerment.
My name is Jeff Miller, and I have been in the mental health field for over 30 years. I hold a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and a Master's degree in Social Work. My experience is varied—beginning in Cuyahoga County investigating allegations of abuse and neglect with extensive Juvenile Court involvement, then expanding to children and teens in foster care, residential treatment, and adoption settings. I have also worked with adults managing chronic or acute mental health conditions and dual diagnoses. I am open to working with most concerns, though depression and anxiety—often rooted in trauma and loss—are what I most typically address.
Building a therapeutic relationship and aligning with clients to find their “path” to healing is at the heart of my work. I help normalize certain feelings, and approach each person without judgment. I am honest and respectful of what a client can manage at any point in the process. Trust is developed and earned over time, and I fully understand that.
I look forward to meeting you and will always start from where you are. Our journey together will hopefully bring new understandings and positive life changes.

I create a calm, supportive space where clients feel comfortable expressing their truth and exploring new possibilities for healing. I value collaboration, authenticity, and the dedication clients bring to their own transformation. I welcome the opportunity to partner with you as you take the next step in your mental wellness journey.

Greetings, my name is Kiera E. Graham. I am a dual licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) and marriage, family, and couples therapist (LMFT) certified in trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy (TF-CBT), with over 10 years in the behavioral health field. I earned my Bachelor of Psychology in 2016 and my dual Master of Science in Education with a concentration in therapeutic counseling in 2019. I have served populations struggling with depression, anxiety, grief, self-esteem, couples concerns, life stressors, and addiction across varying ages, races, ethnicities, and socioeconomic backgrounds.
The methods I use stem from clinical modalities such as cognitive behavioral therapy, which challenges intrusive thoughts and limiting beliefs that impair mental health. I specialize in providing empathic listening, coping skills, and life tools to help improve counterintuitive belief systems and encourage clients to restructure core attributes causing emotional disruptions.
As a heartfelt dual licensed therapist, my mantra is to inspire—you must first aspire to uplift others. To do this effectively, you must also have the desire to empower, lead, serve, and heal. I am excited to start this empowering healing journey of recovery with you and all clients I serve.
You deserve dedicated time with a mental health professional — it can be life-changing.

In Cincinnati, your cost depends on whether you use insurance or pay out of pocket. With insurance, most patients pay a copay between $0 and $55 per session. If you’re self-pay, rates vary by state—typically $200 to $240 for your first therapy session and $160 to $195 for follow-ups, or $300 to $375 for an initial psychiatry session and $210 to $300 for follow-ups. Contact our Cincinnati office or visit our pricing page to learn more.
Yes, Thriveworks Cincinnati accepts insurance to help cover services, including individual therapy, couples therapy, family therapy, and psychiatry. Couples and family therapy aren’t always covered the same way, since some plans only cover sessions considered medically necessary.
We’ll verify your insurance and estimate your out-of-pocket cost for you before your first session, but it’s still worth confirming your specific benefits with your insurer, especially if your plan requires pre-authorization (advance approval from your insurer before certain treatments are covered).
Fit matters more than almost anything else in therapy. Research consistently shows the relationship between you and your therapist is one of the strongest predictors of whether treatment actually works, no matter their approach. Start by thinking about what you want help with, then browse provider profiles in Cincinnati and filter by specialty, insurance, and availability to find someone who feels right for you. If your first session doesn’t click, no problem. You can switch providers anytime, no fees, no hassle.
All three support mental health in different ways. A therapist provides talk therapy to help you work through challenges; a psychologist also provides therapy, but their doctoral training lets them do psychological testing and formal evaluations; a psychiatrist is a medical provider who can prescribe medication.
Thriveworks Cincinnati offers therapy and psychiatry together, so you can get the right type of care—or a combination—in one place. For more detail, see our straightforward guide to mental health care professionals.
Most patients at Thriveworks Cincinnati see a provider within six days. We offer flexible scheduling, including evenings and weekends. Book online or call our Cincinnati office to find the soonest session with a therapist or psychiatric provider.
Yes. Psychiatric providers at Thriveworks Cincinnati can prescribe and manage medication, and many patients pair that with talk therapy from a separate provider. Our team coordinates the two together.
Your first session is mostly about getting to know each other. Your therapist will ask what brought you in, talk through your history and goals, and start shaping a plan for care. There’s no pressure to share more than you’re comfortable with—the first session is a conversation, not a test. Want more detail? Here’s exactly what to expect, step by step.
Yes. Thriveworks Cincinnati offers both in-person sessions at our local office and online (telehealth) sessions, so you can choose what’s most convenient and switch between the two as your needs change.
