Professional statement

Dr. Nina Miller is a psychologist in Manhattan. She has worked with adults of all ages and a wide range of backgrounds for 25+ years. Most of her clients seek to better cope with stress, to improve a given situation, and to gain self-awareness. Areas of focus are anxiety, difficulties with mood, adjustment to a life event, like becoming a new parent, or new circumstances, e.g. changing immigration policies. She works with you to find greater ease and real-life solutions.

Dr. Miller is particularly passionate about helping adults to navigate a family issue. She engages clients in considering their options in a given situation and naming their needs and feelings. Sometimes informal role-playing is used to discover or practice new communication strategies, which are then tried out between sessions. If interested, she supports you in identifying, and coming out from under, the influence of childhood experiences.

With expertise in cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), Dr. Miller offers tools to help manage thoughts that are causing pain, to be able to interrupt bouts of emotional distress, as well as to reduce self-defeating behaviors. Dr. Miller’s style is compassionate and interactive, and her goal is to create a safe space for clients to talk and collaborate in therapy. Treatment can be short-term or longer-term. The intake visit is 60-70 minutes and, from there, sessions are 45 minutes.

Dr. Miller received her Ph.D. from the Derner Institute at Adelphi University and a bachelors degree from Yale (psychology major). In her own life, Dr. Miller values personal growth, contribution, and justice.


Message to clients

It takes courage to reach out and ask for help. The first contact is a step toward the mental health you deserve. Let me know the best times for a brief phone call, if the slots I have on the booking section don’t work for you. In the initial call, we talk about scheduling and fees, and you can share a bit about what you’d like help with and your objectives. I answer any questions you have.

Sessions are in person, virtual, or a combination. I currently follow healthcare setting COVID guidelines for in person visits.

I draw from evidenced-based approaches, emotional attunement, and appreciation for the unique details of individual experiences and identities. I look forward to getting to know you.
