Here are answers to some common questions about receiving Clinical Psychology care with Dr. Miller:
- What is the main difference between a Psychologist and a Psychiatrist?
- A psychologist, with a PhD or PsyD, specializes in psychotherapy and psychological testing. A psychiatrist, with an MD or DO, is a medical doctor who can prescribe medication. They often collaborate, with the psychologist providing therapy and the psychiatrist managing medication.
- What happens in a first therapy session?
- The first session is an intake to learn about your concerns, history, and goals. It's also a chance to connect and see if Dr. Miller is the right fit for you. This is a two-way conversation, not an interrogation.
- What is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)?
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a type of talk therapy that helps people identify and change unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors. It's a goal-oriented approach where patients learn practical skills to manage their symptoms and problems, often used for anxiety and depression.
- What is psychological testing used for?
- Psychological testing uses a series of standardized tests and interviews to gain a deeper understanding of cognitive, emotional, and behavioral functioning. This can help clarify a complex diagnosis, identify potential conditions like ADHD, learning disabilities, or autism spectrum disorder, and inform treatment planning.
- My primary doctor suggested I might have anxiety. Can a psychologist confirm this?
- Yes. A clinical psychologist, like Dr. Miller, is expertly trained to perform a comprehensive diagnostic evaluation. She will use interviews and potentially questionnaires to accurately diagnose an anxiety disorder and develop a non-medication treatment plan focused on therapy and coping skills.
- Do I have to have a serious mental illness to see a psychologist?
- No. While psychologists treat mental illnesses, they also help people with everyday challenges like stress management, grief, relationship issues, and major life transitions.
- What is EMDR therapy?
- EMDR therapy is a specialized type of therapy that helps people heal from trauma and other difficult experiences. It uses bilateral stimulation, like eye movements or tapping, to help the brain reprocess traumatic memories and reduce their emotional impact.
