Lauren Miller
I earned an M.A. in Counseling Psychology in 2019 from Santa Clara University and completed a BA in Psychology in 2011 at San Diego State University. I have over 10 years of experience working in the field of outpatient mental health. For almost five years I worked at Stanford Outpatient Psychiatry helping people connect with services, resources, and information. As a case manager I helped people manage their symptoms and work through crises. Since 2018 I have provided individual therapy to adults and children who are struggling with emotional and relationship challenges. I have experience working with children in school systems, as well as at home and in clinic settings.
In California I am licensed to provide in person and telehealth therapy, I am also licensed to provide telehealth therapy to residents of Nevada and Idaho.
