Hello! My name is Dawn Miller and I am an LCSW in the state of California. I have 20+ years of experience with people who are struggling to make changes in their life. My journey into therapy began with a deep curiosity about human resilience and the desire to help others find strength through life’s hardest challenges. My experience as a therapist has shown me the powerful role therapy can play in recovery. I understand starting therapy can feel like a big step. I congratulate you on starting your journey, and I’m here to make sure that it is meaningful to you.

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

Our first session will be an opportunity for us to get to know one another. We’ll discuss your background and what brings you to therapy. Therapy is a process, and we’ll continue to build our work together over time. We’ll take it one step at a time, and I’m here to guide you through it.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

I specialize in working with individuals navigating life transitions, depression, and trauma. I take a client-centered, collaborative approach to therapy, tailoring each session to your unique needs. Based on your unique needs, I may adapt my approach to include practices like mindfulness and medication. Your goals and progress is my primary focus. Together, we’ll identify challenges and work on strategies to help you move forward with confidence.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

Have you been struggling? I work with adults and couples who find themselves struggling with life transitions. Whether you’re working through trauma, building coping skills, or exploring your personal goals, I’ll work with you to create a plan for growth that feels empowering and achievable. I prioritize clear, open communication to create a supportive, non-judgmental environment. I practice active listening and will give you opportunities to reflect on your experiences with me as an empathetic partner. If we’re working through something challenging, you can expect me to be calm and patient. I believe that therapy is a partnership. Together, we’ll identify and set goals that matter to you, whether they focus on improving relationships, building self-esteem, or another personal objective. As we work together, your goals may evolve as you gain new insights. We can adapt our plan at any time to ensure it’s always meaningful and relevant.
