LPC, 5 years of experience
Hi - my name's Keith Miles! I'm a licensed therapist in NJ, PA, and FL. I do telehealth talk therapy for people living in all 3 states. I imagine you find yourself here because there is something you are struggling with that maybe you could use some support in dealing with. Maybe you feel overwhelmed by difficult emotions, anxiety, or depression. Perhaps you’ve got lots of negative, self-critical, or racing thoughts affecting your self-esteem. It could be that there's aspects of your relationships and social life that you're unhappy with. Life responsibilities like work or school might be stressful or unfulfilling. Maybe you're struggling with your identity, or the heavy weight of what’s happening in our country and the world. Whatever the case may be, it's my job to help you address it and start moving towards a life that feels more worth living. I use my experience and training to help you build insight, process emotions, gain skills, set goals, and take action. I affirm, support, empower, love and advocate for gay and queer people, trans people, women, people of color, and adults of all ages and abilities. If you are looking for a safe therapist to be yourself with, we may be a good fit.
Our first session will involve exploring what brings you to into therapy. Try your best to come in with an open-mind and an intention to expand on what's going on in your life right now that lead you to make the choice to be here. We will work together to come to an understanding of what your goals are by the end of our first time speaking.
My strengths as a therapist are my qualities of warmth, empathy, non-judgment, acceptance, and even humor. I bring humanness into my therapy sessions and lead with the best parts of myself that drove me to want to become a therapist in the first place! You can expect to be treated with respect, heard at all times, validated and affirmed, pushed and challenged.
I have a lot of experience working with members of the LGBTQ+ community. I enjoy helping people better manage issues related to low self-esteem, anxiety, depression, and identity.
ACT helps people create a new relationship with their thoughts and emotions and start pursuing a more authentic, fulfilling life. Mental health challenges often involve experiencing negative thoughts and distressful emotions. ACT is all about learning how to more effectively live with these inner experiences, and- despite the fact that life can get hard- striving to show up for ourselves everyday by making choices and acting in ways that move us closer to being the person we want to be and living the life we want to live. ACT involves both "accepting" your inner experiences, and "committing" to living a life that's rooted in your values, to create a greater sense of life satisfaction.
Mindfulness is the practice of being in the "here-and-now." It involves heightening our awareness of what we are thinking, feeling, sensing, and doing at any given moment. Often we get "disconnected" from our inner experiences, our bodies, our present reality when we're facing anxiety, depression and other mental health challenges. Mindfulness promotes relaxation, stress reduction, focus, and overall wellbeing.
CBT is among the most evidence-based approaches to psychotherapy. It's been shown to have success in treating just about any mental health concern out there. CBT is all about deepening your understanding of how your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are interconnected. There is a focus on adjusting the way we think and the actions we take. If we can strive towards thinking in more helpful, rational, compassionate ways and making behavioral choices that serve our best interests, there tends to be a positive impact on our emotional experiences.

Keith has been a great support and resource for me dealing with pretty severe anxiety and depression. He often gives me tools and exercises that have made a real impact in my day to day life. Very open and genuinely empathetic to my difficulties/issues.
