Happiness in life is dependent upon relationships - the relationship with yourself, your partner, your children - and the other significant, albeit difficult, people in your life. Self-acceptance, effective communication, intimacy, trust, and conflict resolution contribute to the quality of the relationships you desire.
You may think that this is unobtainable or impossible but with the right tools, support, resources, and skills, there's hope. Whether you are depressed, anxious, unhappy in your relationship, bickering over custody and co-parenting, and want self-acceptance and solutions, look no further. Let me help you move to a place of understanding so you feel empowered to make new and different choices to improve your life and your relationships.

Services
My experience and expertise as an attorney and therapist have equipped me to successfully counsel individuals and families during good times and bad. My methodology brings you relief from symptoms of depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, codependence, and relationship challenges. Through customized counseling, you're empowered to find self-acceptance and make better life choices.
No one is born with excellent relationship skills. If you're fortunate to have grown up in a family highly skilled in communication, conflict resolution, and trust building, you had good role models. For most of us, relationship skills need to be learned. Research shows the quality and duration of a marriage is significantly improved in couples that participate in pre-marital counseling.
Research shows that only about a third of children are described as "doing well" three, five, and even 10 years after a divorce. Another third have persistent adjustment difficulties, while the final third are still intensely unhappy, angry, dissatisfied with life, depressed and deeply lonely. Shared parenting is what is best for children after divorce, including both week-day and weekend time with each parent, .
In my career as an attorney, I saw the devastation litigation brings to families. Custody litigation proceedings aggravate family situations. They create hostility between parents, more pain for your children, and an escalating acrimony that never ends. The way to avoid court is to mediate with the support and help of a professional who empowers you to create the parenting plan that best suits your family.
Comfortable and effective communication between you and your therapist is one of the most important factors in determining whether or not your therapy will be successful. How it feels to communicate with each other and I can listen open-mindedly to the agenda items you'd like to discuss;. Near the end of our time together I'll explain a suggested path for our future appointments together.

My fiancée and I were committed to each other but had a couple of small issues that we didn’t want to turn into larger ones after we were married. We went to Lee and in only a few sessions “cleared the air” on these challenges. Lee helped us learn how to communicate better with each other so that these issues don't crop up later on and cause problems in our marriage. I highly recommend Lee’s pre-marital counseling to any couple who want to enrich their relationship before they get married—and prevent problems down the road. Thanks Lee!

I was recently divorced after many years and was feeling the usual pangs of depression, failure and low self-esteem that accompany a transition like this. I went to Lee Miller and her kind and compassionate way of counseling helped me to realize that this could actually be a new beginning for me. I’ll always be grateful to her for showing me that divorce is not the end of the world, but rather something I can learn from and become better than I was before. I definitely recommend Lee if you’ve gone through a traumatic divorce like I did.

I have been using Lee's services for individual therapy for over 2 years and my results have been dramatic. Lee is not only a compassionate therapist but very intuitive and gave me just the right options to deal my particular situation. I would heartily endorse Lee for anyone going through a life transition where a skilled therapist is needed.

Lee is very easy to talk to. She is supportive and non-judgmental. She really understands my feelings and makes me feel heard. What I like about her is that she also helps me to think about solutions to problems. She is very helpful with family and relationship conflict. I highly recommend her as a therapist.

Lee was amazing! I got more useful and lasting guidance than I have got from any therapist. I saw Lee because I was having problems with my teenage son. From the moment I walked into Lee's office, I felt safe and comfortable. Her obvious experience and qualifications immediately made me feel that I was in good hands. Lee first consulted with me and then worked with me and my son together. She knew exactly how to connect with both of us. She even got my usually withdrawn and quiet son to talk about his feelings and tell me what he needed from me! Thanks to Lee we have finally learned how to

From the first time I went to see Lee, I felt welcomed and encouraged to share my issues with her. Lee is open, honest and non-judgemental. She is an amazing listener and the fact that she gave me realistic feedback helped me through my immediate crisis and over time to get to a place where I felt in control and at peace with myself. Lee helped me see how I could live a happier and more fulfilled life. I would recommend anyone who feels lost, alone or is going through a difficult time in their life and needs someone to share their inner most fears and conflicts to see this therapist.
