Getting to know Joanne Talbot Miller

I am a licensed marriage and family therapist with a background in crisis intervention. I began my career as an MFT working in an emergency shelter program for survivors of domestic violence and human trafficking who also faced substance abuse and severe mental health issues. I provided both individual and group therapy within residential and outpatient transitional housing programs. I continued to work with clients with moderate to severe mental health disorders, specializing in trauma and clients with co-occurring substance abuse and mental health issues. My approach helps clients improve emotional regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and their daily living skills. I have facilitated groups on domestic violence education, safety planning, anger management, communication, substance abuse prevention, and independent living. I also worked on a crisis hotline for students, providing suicide assessments, suicide prevention, and support to transitional-age youth. I offered crisis counseling and helped students connect with services such as drug and alcohol treatment, emergency housing, and mental health care. I have a strong behavioral background working with children and adolescents with developmental, emotional, and behavioral challenges. I work with the whole family, teaching strategies to improve behavior, family functioning, and alleviate daily stress in the home. I bring an integrative approach to therapy that combines affective, behavioral, cognitive, and physiological levels of functioning. This approach helps individuals gain insight into themselves and reduces unhealthy, dysfunctional defense mechanisms and patterns of behavior. I graduated from the University of Luton in England and continued my education by earning a Master's Degree in Marriage, Family, and Child Therapy from the University of Phoenix.

Joanne listens to me, lets me talk, and gives me things to think about between sessions. Her thoughts and opinions ring in my ears between sessions. I feel better from having her as my doctor.
