My name is Benjamin Miller and I have been in the field of counseling for almost 10 years. I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor who specialize in working with adults/late teens who struggle with Drug and Alcohol addiction, Grief and Loss, Relationship Issues, Self Esteem and Identity Issues, Career Issues, Personal Growth, Depression, or your common day to day stressors. I use an eclectic approach to therapy with my focus methods being Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Grief Therapy, Couples Counseling, Career Counseling, Substance Use and Addiction Therapy and Talk Therapy for your everyday stressors. I provide individual therapy, couples therapy, and group therapy. I am very passionate about empowering individuals to design their lives and remain discipline through adversity.
When clients' complete sessions with me, they often report feeling more hopeful, determined, secured, and resilient. I welcome all clients from all backgrounds.
One of my greatest strengths as a provider is wisdom which comes from my father who died two years ago at 83 years old. The wisdom instilled in me from my father channels towards helping my clients overcome their struggles by challenging their perspectives and supporting their commitment to change. Another one of my greatest strengths as a provider is my ability to build rapport with clients centered upon empathy, genuineness, and an overall caring relationship. Furthermore, what makes me unique is having an understanding of the process it takes to maximize on the difference that one wants to make in their lives.
I use Cognitive behavioral Therapy in my practice to challenge clients irrational and negative thoughts to help them live a productive lifestyle fueled by positive growth. Cognitive behavioral therapy also provides clients with essential coping skills to address their problems and allow clients to add more meaning in their lives. I use Cognitive Behavioral Health to help with Substance Use and Addiction, Anxiety, Depression, Stress Management, Anger Management, etc.
I use Motivational Interviewing to help clients explore and resolve ambivalence about change, making it effective for individuals who are indecisive about the changes they need to make in their lives to assist in personal growth and development. Motivational Interviewing is used to focus on enhancing clients' confidence, motivation and commitment to change by unlocking their own reasons and values. I use Motivational Interviewing to help clients with Substance Use and Addiction, School and Career Decisions, Health Behavior Changes, and other Mental Health issues such as Depression or Anxiety. Along with Motivational Interviewing, I also use Mindfulness Based Therapy. I use Mindfulness Based Therapy to help clients remain present and stay in the moment. Mindfulness Based Therapy helps clients to take one day at a time in an attempt to reduce anxiety that can be related to the fear of the unknown. I also use Mindfulness Based Therapy to provide clients with essential strategies to allow them to remain present such as deep breathing and guided meditation. I use Mindfulness Based Therapy to help individuals cope with Depression, Anxiety, Stress, Chronic Pain, Addiction and Relapse Prevention, Anger and Emotional Regulation, Self Esteem Issues, Burnout and Resilience.
I use the Humanistic Treatment Method to help emphasize personal growth, self-acceptance, and living a full potential life. I use this method to help clients with self-esteem issues, personal growth, and existential questions.
I use Grief Therapy to help clients process the emotional pain that accompanies a loss., understanding that there is no time limit when it comes to grieving. I use Grief Therapy to help clients adjust to their new reality, explore the meaning of the loss, Cope with triggers, build support with communication skills, develop resilience, and find meaning and purpose beyond the loss.
I use couples counseling to help partners improve their relationship, address conflicts, and build stronger connections. I use couples counseling to help partners improve their communication skills, rebuild trust after betrayal or infidelity, enhance emotional and physical intimacy, strengthen relationship satisfaction and commitment, navigate life transitions, manage financial stress or disagreements, develop healthy boundaries and independence, and learn effective coping strategies.
