Hello, My name is Yakira Miller, and I am a Therapist Intern and Qualified Mental Health Professional. I believe a therapist specializes in the therapeutic medical treatment of impairment, injury, disease, or disorder. Therapy has often held a negative connotation due to the lack of understanding and purpose that it serves. Today the importance and knowledge of mental health have grown throughout society. More people are stepping up to be advocates of mental health, and others are opening up about their experiences with mental health. I desire to help people work through those difficult moments and become the best version of themselves. I am skilled in working with teens, young adults, and adults experiencing anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), depression, and attention deficit hyperactive disorder (ADHD). I specialize in coping strategies, boosting self-esteem, life transitions, communication skills, and family changes. I believe that each individual comes with a different story and that it takes time and patience to understand and help them in the best way possible. I assist my clients by incorporating techniques that will best suit their needs. My goal is to ensure, whether short or long-term, each client gets the most out of every session by taking away information needed to help them throughout their lifetime.
