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 connect with clients on a personal level, as building trust and encouraging active participation in their own care is crucial to achieving positive mental health outcomes.
I am a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner (PMHNP) with 15 years of experience supporting clients across the lifespan. I specialize in treating anxiety, depression, trauma-related concerns, mood disorders, and life transitions. My approach is collaborative and compassionate, grounded in helping individuals understand their experiences and develop meaningful strategies to improve their mental health and overall well-being.
I have a Master of Science in nursing from Northern Kentucky University and have extensive experience in psychiatric nursing, hospice, long-term care, and inpatient hospital settings. My clinical focus includes evidence-based, person-centered care that integrates therapeutic support, medication management, and a holistic understanding of each client’s needs.
My goal is to create a supportive space where you feel seen, heard, and empowered to move toward healing. I value compassion, dignity, and individualized care, and I am committed to partnering with you as you work toward greater stability, clarity, and wellness. Together, we will build a plan that helps you take meaningful steps forward.

Life can be hard, and I believe we all benefit from the extra support counseling can bring. None of us are perfect, but we cannot let our mistakes define us. Life's challenges can make us stronger, and help us get to know our resilient selves.
I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor with over 25 years of experience as a therapist. As a seasoned clinician, I have worked with diverse populations across the lifespan including adolescents, young adults, couples, and seniors. I work with people struggling with depression, anxiety, grief, trauma, relationship issues and many other obstacles we all face. I know how difficult it can be to ask her help; it can be uncomfortable, and requires a great deal of personal courage. I truly feel that it is a privilege to help others endeavoring to navigate life's challenges.
I strive to provide a judgement-free space for my clients to feel seen and understood. I use evidence-based therapeutic techniques, drawing from CBT, DBT, ACT, psycho-dynamic therapy, among others. I believe in building on your strengths to improve your confidence and help you become the best version of yourself you can be.
Again, I commend you for seeking help, and invite you to take the next step by setting an appointment. Our first meeting will be relaxed as we get to know one another. Therapy will go at the pace you are comfortable with. I look forward to meeting and working with you!

When I work with people on grief and loss, we work to normalize the experience of grief, provide emotion regulation skills and boundary-setting skills, and explore the depth of grief and how it may change over time but does not go away.
My go-to approach for supporting people through grief and loss counseling is to meet them where they are. I prefer this approach because grief looks different for everyone, and it's important to understand what the individual wants and needs from grief counseling before diving in.
I prioritize providing tools to regulate emotions as best as possible while grieving, exploring ways to honor and stay connected to those we've lost, and increasing ways to hold and make space for grief.
Some of the tools I teach in grief and loss counseling are: expressing needs to a support system, coping with intense and overwhelming feelings, and self-compassion.
A client is making meaningful progress in grief and loss therapy when they are better able to understand and normalize their grief, when they are better able to experience their grief-based emotions, and when they are showing insight into how grief impacts parts of their lives through responding with effective boundary setting and coping strategies.
I know a client is making meaningful progress in grief and loss counseling when they begin to be able to live with their grief. For some, this looks like being able to eat and shower again. For others, this may look like returning to work or social outings while still holding space for what was lost.
Clients can supplement their grief and loss counseling by applying skills learned in therapy and doing their best to meet themselves with compassion, patience, and care.
Clients can supplement their time in grief and loss counseling by taking time to slow down. Grief and loss can slow down our thoughts, feelings, and physical experiences. Taking breaks, slowing down processes, and even taking a few minutes for yourself can help when life doesn't allow much time for processing.
A client can prepare for grief and loss counseling by reflecting on where they are at with discussing grief and where they may want to set boundaries as they start to open up about and process grief and loss.
To prepare for their first grief and loss counseling session, an individual can identify a few small practical goals they would like to work on, especially if the loss was recent. Individuals can also ask their therapist questions about their approaches to grief and loss to determine whether a therapist is the right fit.
Grief and loss counseling helps people grieve difficult losses including the death of a loved one, the loss of a job, or the end of a relationship. It helps people navigate their grief process and eventually accept, understand, and move forward from their loss. Thriveworks grief therapists in Lakewood, OH have specific experience, training, and skills that enable them to best support grieving individuals.
Grief and loss counseling isn’t one-size-fits-all, but it involves sharing about your loss and then working with your counselor to acknowledge and accept your new reality in its wake. Your provider at Thriveworks in Lakewood, OH will design your treatment plan around your unique needs and goals for therapy, applying the counseling techniques that best support them.
If you have recently experienced an event like the death of a loved one, a breakup or divorce, the loss of a job, or another major life change, then you may want to seek grief and loss counseling. Grief can be caused by many experiences and events, so if you feel that you are having trouble moving on from a certain event or find that it is still impacting your life and functioning, grief and loss counseling can help you process it more effectively so that you can move on and once again find fulfillment and satisfaction in your life.
There are many counseling theories for treating grief, one of the most frequently used being the dual process model of grief which helps people acknowledge who or what they’ve lost through rumination while also adjusting to the new roles and identities that this loss has now placed on them. There are also many commonly used therapy approaches used in grief and loss counseling, including Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), and traumatic grief therapy.
Grief & loss counseling at Thriveworks is conducted both in person and online by video. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
For many, grief and loss counseling lasts for about 6 months. For others, it may last shorter or longer, depending on the severity of their loss and their grief.
