About Provider

About Jeffrey

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.

"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."

Get to know Jeffrey

Why did you decide to become a counselor or psychiatric provider?

Many experiences in my life have led me to the field of Social Work and Mental Health. I decided to make it my career while I was working for the Cuyahoga County Department of Children and Family Services. My role was more like a "first responder" - but I wanted to "do more", make a difference in people's lives. That was the "driver" behind my choice of working in this field.

What types of clients do you work best with?

Depression, Anxiety, PTSD

What's one thing you wish all clients knew about therapy, mental health, or the healing process?

Mental Health intervention does not mean you are defective. Mental Health is as important as Physical Health, and many, many people in this world benefit from "Check-ups" in both areas. Bottom line is that everyone should take care of their "whole" self.

What can clients expect in their first session with you and in the early stages of therapy?

Establishment of the therapeutic relationship / the "joining process".

  • Client and Counselor get to know each other.
  • Clarify need and purpose for counseling.
  • Mutual agreement on treatment goals

What personal experiences or values inform your practice as a therapist/provider? 

 I follow the NASW Code of Ethics. 

How do you tailor therapy to meet each client’s unique needs?

 Each client is an individual, first and foremost. Treatment should always be tailored with that in mind.
