My work focuses on helping clients understand these cycles, gently interrupt them, and move toward change that feels empowering rather than overwhelming. Together, we create space for growth that feels steady, supportive and freeing. My therapeutic style is warm, humanistic, and person‑centered. I take time to understand the whole person and the experiences that shaped them, with a strong emphasis on trauma‑informed care. I have extensive experience supporting clients through anxiety, depression, panic attacks, intrusive thoughts, relationship stress, social anxiety, life transitions, gender identity exploration, and negative self‑image. I strive to create an environment where clients feel comfortable and able to make meaningful progress. Some sessions may be more structured and intervention‑focused, while others may be calming and restorative with the help of Kevin, the office therapy dog. I look forward to the opportunity to support you as you move towards clarity and lasting change. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cde7281eb3a2b0001c81435/1558087026164-9C2B4TXT6HMHSHKMV1PQ/image+10.png Home - Areas of Treatment My treatment areas include ADHD, Anger Management, Burnout, Cancer, Coping Skills, Divorce, Emotional Regulation, Gay, Grief, Lesbian, LGBTQ+, Life Transitions, Men's Issues, Women’s issues, Relationship issues, Parenting, Peer Relationships, Self Esteem, Sports Performance, Transgender. https://www.ssmcounseling.com/about daily 0.75 2026-11-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cde7281eb3a2b0001c81435/1559570086831-HJZYN9ZUA5B4PTHEMZ9T/photo-1507832321772-e86cc0452e9c.jpg About https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cde7281eb3a2b0001c81435/1559570261692-7AEDUIHMESB9UY1UTQFG/photo-1507832321772-e86cc0452e9c.jpg About https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cde7281eb3a2b0001c81435/2c845ad6-b4ca-49a6-8868-378d7ce5410f/Screenshot+2024-09-16+at+9.06.52%E2%80%AFAM.png About - Steven Miller 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. My office is located in an old home in Uptown Westerville. Sessions can include the office therapy dog Kevin if desired. He enjoys sitting with clients and loves being pet. I look forward to the opportunity to work with you. -Steven https://www.ssmcounseling.com/location daily 0.75 2019-06-10
