      <image:title>Home - Approach</image:title>
      <image:caption>My therapeutic style utilizes a humanistic and person centered approach emphasizing trauma informed care. This approach centers our work on harmful thoughts, emotions, and behaviors so we can work on the whole person to identify areas of need, allowing the opportunity to support those who have been feeling isolated or stuck. An initial goal is to create a space that is comfortable, safe, and productive. I work to develop a rapport with each client through three main areas of support: listening, validating, and challenging. I enjoy developing trust with each client as we work towards goals together.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Home - Areas of Treatment</image:title>
      <image:caption>My treatment areas include all areas of life function, but I commonly work with client's suffering from depression and anxiety, which are two of the most common mental health concerns but also two of the hardest to cope with. My work with couples focuses on identifying negative feedback loops within the relationship (replaying of problems and negative communication), and helping them make the needed changes to develop more satisfying relationships.</image:caption>

      <image:title>About - Steven Miller</image:title>
      <image:caption>Welcome, I opened my private practice in 2019, after working in other practices and community mental health centers around Columbus. I received my master’s degree from The University of Dayton, in the clinical counseling MSE program. My wife and I, and our three children, love living in Westerville. I have lived in Columbus for over 25 years, and I was originally from Pittsburgh. I look forward to the opportunity to work with you. -Steven</image:caption>
