About me
Levi Miller, LCSW
I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and psychotherapist who specializes in working with individuals experiencing depression, anxiety, complex trauma, PTSD, and Borderline Personality Disorder.
I take an integrative, client-centered approach to therapy. Our work is tailored to your unique experiences, needs, and goals, and offered in a conversational style that lets you explore your inner world with curiosity, compassion, and safety.
How I work
Practical skills first, then deeper healing
The initial stages of therapy often focus on developing practical coping strategies and emotional regulation skills. I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to help manage the challenges and stressors you're experiencing right now.
As therapy progresses, the work can go deeper through Internal Family Systems (IFS). This approach helps you develop a healthy relationship with the parts of yourself you may have always disliked or never quite understood, fostering a more compassionate inner dialogue and healing what's underneath.
I believe that developing a trusting, warm, and empathetic therapeutic relationship is the most essential component of therapy. My goal is that through our work together, you learn to see the best in yourself and choose to live according to your authentic values.
Training
Credentials
My path to becoming a therapist began when I first experienced the impact a great therapist can have in helping someone heal from painful events in childhood. That experience inspired my passion for treating people who have experienced childhood trauma. I went on to work in several clinical settings, including intensive outpatient treatment and a mental health clinic, which provided me with invaluable experience working with a broad range of people, mental health conditions, and life circumstances.
I regularly attend workshops, conferences, and advanced training courses, and I participate in peer consultation and supervision to keep my clinical skills sharp and ensure I'm using the best approach for each client.
What to expect
Starting therapy
Once you have scheduled an intake appointment, I will send you digital intake, insurance, and HIPAA forms through my secure billing platform. The day before your appointment, you will receive a link to join your HIPAA-compliant telehealth session.
During your initial session, I'll take the time to understand what has been happening in your life, what brought you to therapy, and what you hope to gain from the process. Together, we will explore your concerns, goals, and what you would like to work toward. When appropriate, I'll use clinical assessments and collaborate with you on an approach that works for you.
