About dr. Tiffany Miller 

As a Clinical Psychologist I have worked in a wide variety of settings including hospital psychiatric units, out-patient mental health centers, Emergency Rooms and nursing homes.  I have treated individuals in therapy between the ages of 16 and 96. As a psychologist in private practice I have combined my varied professional experiences into a model that allows me to meet people where they are. My job is essentially to understand your unique perspective and experience in this world. Psychotherapy as I practice it, is a collaborative journey through your life story. By focusing on both the past and the present I will work with you to understand yourself, your motivations, your feelings and uncover the barriers that prevent you from attaining contentment and calm in your life. I have an innate ability to put my patients at ease and assist them in opening up their thoughts and feelings in therapy. My therapeutic style is compassionate, flexible and affirming with a little bit of humor thrown in for good measure.

My interest in human behavior and emotion began at home. I grew up with parents who demonstrated a beautiful combination of active problem solving and contemplative meditation. I was fortunate to witness firsthand the transformative power of both these practices. My Dad began utilizing mindfulness and meditation well before it had made a name for itself in popular American culture. His practice was vital in fostering resilience and in maintaining his calm and loving demeanor as a Midwestern Black American man coming of age during the Civil Rights Era. From observing him I learned the importance of focusing on the present as well as the beauty of cultivating peace within the self and compassion for others. My Mom operated with the mindset of a behavioral scientist in her family daycare business. I grew up watching her foster the social, emotional and cognitive development of the children in her care. As I embarked upon my academic journey, the seeds planted in my formative years blossomed into a clear vision for my future as a psychologist.

I earned my B.A. in Psychology at Chapman University in Southern California. Following graduation, a sense of adventure brought me to New York City where I completed my M.A. in Counseling at New York University. For the next two years I worked as a case manager and counselor servicing a population coping with severe psychopathology. I then headed back to school to begin the Clinical Psychology Ph.D. program at The Graduate Center of the City University of New York, City College Campus.
