About
I view mental health care as a partnership built on trust, empathy, and understanding. As a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with experience across inpatient, outpatient, telehealth, and community-based settings, my approach is centered on meeting each person where they are, recognizing their strengths, and providing compassionate, personalized treatment that supports healing, resilience, and improved quality of life.
I am a board-certified psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner (PMHNP-BC) with a Doctor of Nursing Practice (D.N.P.) and extensive experience providing psychiatric care across inpatient, outpatient, telehealth, and community-based settings. I work with adolescents, adults, and older adults experiencing challenges such as depression, anxiety, trauma-related concerns, ADHD, mood disorders, psychotic disorders, and other mental health conditions. I partner with clients seeking greater stability, improved functioning, and a personalized treatment approach to support their mental health goals.
My approach integrates evidence-based treatment, medication management, CBT, supportive psychotherapy, motivational interviewing, and individualized care planning. I work across inpatient, outpatient, telehealth, and community-based settings to promote improved mental health outcomes.
My goal is to provide a supportive, compassionate space where you feel heard, understood, and empowered throughout your journey. I believe in partnering with each client to develop a personalized treatment plan that promotes healing, stability, and growth. If you are ready to take the next step toward improved wellness, I welcome working with you.

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.

Just because a door closes doesn’t mean you can’t kick it down.
I am a LPCC-S and I got my masters degree in clinical mental health counseling at Kent State University. I primarily use narrative therapy, reality therapy/choice theory, EMDR, and ERP. I can see ages 10 years old and up and will be doing telehealth counseling only. I believe the client knows themselves more than I will ever know them and am here to help them with what I learned in school to reach their goals.
I believe we all have a story where what happened to us connects to other things that happen to us. Through mapping out your story, we can find peace in your life.
We all must choose between what is right and what is easy.

Depression counseling can help those with major depression, minor depression, postpartum depression, persistent depressive disorder, and more. The providers at Thriveworks in Riverside, OH will develop a unique treatment plan based on your specific experience, needs, and goals.
It is absolutely worth going to therapy for depression — depression counseling helps people better manage their symptoms and get back to living happier lives again.
Depression counseling works by helping people pinpoint life problems, distorted thought patterns, and other causes of their depression, then process and work through them in order to mitigate the negative effects those factors have on their lives.
Common signs of depression include:
Thriveworks depression counseling in Riverside, OH is conducted both in person and online by video. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
Depression counseling can last for a few weeks, months, or longer, dependent on the severity of one’s depression as well as their needs and preferences.
At Thriveworks, we accept most major insurance plans, allowing many clients to pay as little as $0–$50 per session with their co-pay.

Mental health challenges can affect anyone, no matter who you are and where you come from. Just as you would get treatment for a physical illness, there is no shame in getting treatment for a mental one. Seeking qualified mental health counseling services is a good first step toward addressing your depression and getting your life back on track. Thriveworks Counseling in Dayton, OH is here to help. Reach out today to get started.
Major life events can trigger the onset of depression, such as the loss of a job, a death in the family, or moving to a new location. However, some people feel depressed without any discernible reason. There may also be other causes, including genetic factors and side effects from drugs and prescription medications.
Clients in these situations may feel ashamed of their feelings, believing that there is something wrong with them. But your symptoms are no less real or valid simply because you cannot pinpoint the exact reason for your depression. If you are experiencing sadness for extended periods of time or any other depressive symptoms, it may be time to reach out for help.
Here are some of the most common symptoms of depression:
Those who suffer from depression may feel alone but there is a light at the end of the tunnel. Depression counseling has helped countless people understand their symptoms, get the help they need, and start down the path of healing.
Therapy for depression is not a one-size-fits-all concept. Since depression can affect everyone differently, depression therapy is customized for each individual. When you start counseling, your therapist will talk with you about your medical history, your triggers, and your symptoms before setting goals for therapy and treatment.
Talk therapy is one of the most common tools used in the treatment of depression. Therapists provide clients with a safe space to talk through their issues, identify how their thoughts are impacting their condition, and learn how to cope more effectively. Treatment may also include prescribed medication if your psychiatrist determines it helpful in your situation.
If you’re struggling with depression, you don’t have to handle it on your own. At Thriveworks, clients can access expert counseling services on their own terms. Pick between in-person or online therapy and schedule your appointments during the week, in the evenings, or even on weekends. Plus, first-time clients can often meet with a provider the same week.
We accept most major insurance plans and are ready to help. If you’re ready to speak with a counselor, reach out to the compassionate team at Thriveworks in Dayton, OH today.
