Our therapists offer grief & loss counseling in Toledo, OH

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.

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.
