About Dr. Doug Miller

Dr. Miller received a calling to be a psychologist when he was 14, and like many in the field, this was both a calling to self-awareness as well as to helping others. He graduated from Clark University in Worcester, Massachusetts with high honors in Psychology in 1985; with minors in Biology and Comparative Cognitive Anthropology. Having searched for graduate programs in Clinical Psychology that would suit his intuitive and emotional personality, he was accepted into the only program approved by the American Psychological Association that mentioned the word “intuition” in it’s description of itself: Georgia State University, where he learned Gestalt Therapy along with Jungian, Existential and Psychodynamic psychotherapies. Always maintaining a holistic and spiritual/growth oriented approach, he took classes in health and consciousness, became a Reiki Practitioner, and was a therapist for family of origin intensives, helping to heal the deep issues resulting from our family experiences.

Doug's Master’s Thesis was on the cognitive, emotional and self-awareness factors in adult development; his general examination topic for his Doctoral degree was on the relationship between existential and spiritual issues in psychotherapy; and his Doctoral Dissertation was on the relationship between The Myer’s Briggs Type Indicator/Jung’s Theory of Types and Personality Pathology. Since receiving his Master’s degree in 1988 (receiving his Doctoral Degree in 1995), he has had a thriving private psychotherapy practice while he also turned his focus to Forensic Psychological Evaluations working with family’s involved with the courts, as well as criminal cases.

Doug has spent a substantial time in exploring his own and other’s spirituality and encourages each individual to follow their own awareness and path. These experiences have brought him to a keen and deep understanding of the interplay and healing of psychological and emotional dynamics in the context of personal life development, empowerment and spiritual growth. Having met Elicia Miller, his soul mate and wife, they share the same passion for healing and personal growth and have accelerated one another’s journey’s.

Doug's focus with men is on recapturing aspects of self that have been lost to male conditioning, while healing the personal wounds that stand in the way of full-living, vulnerability, emotional satisfaction and deeply satisfying relationships. He sees the value of this work not only in terms of individual development but also as a way to improve men’s role in society, across societies and in relation to the planet.  He is very compassionate with an approach that sometimes includes humor, while he honors each man's process.
