Cynthia Miller is a Licensed Professional Counselor, holding a PhD and graduating from the University of Virginia in 2010. She understands that everyone faces struggles at various points in their life, and she emphasizes the importance of how individuals respond to these challenges. Cynthia believes that suffering arises when people resist accepting what they cannot change or when they passively accept circumstances that can be transformed. In her practice, she guides adults through the process of minimizing suffering by learning to change what they can and accepting what they cannot. With expertise in mindfulness-based practices, trauma-focused therapy, humanistic, existential, and cognitive-behavioral approaches, Cynthia helps individuals thrive amidst their struggles while nurturing authenticity and effectiveness in their interactions. She has a particular focus on supporting graduate students and young adults, addressing women's issues, complex trauma, and self-destructive behaviors, particularly those stemming from emotional dysregulation. With a practical approach to therapy, she stays informed about the latest research while tailoring her methods to suit each individual's needs. Cynthia consistently evaluates her clients' progress, making necessary adjustments to ensure they are on track to achieve their therapeutic goals.
