Ellie Miller, Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Maryland and Virginia. License #20386

If you care deeply and over think about everything, we’ll probably get along.

For the past decade, I’ve studied, practiced, and taught Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and mindfulness, with a particular interest in helping women whose brains rarely seem to clock out.

Maybe you replay convos, second guess decisions, worry about disappointing people, or mentally prepare for things that haven’t even happened yet.

You care deeply about your relationships, your work, and doing things well. I’m here to help you keep all that awesome caring without it costing you so much peace!

    About Ellie

Core Values

  • A black and white chessboard with chess pieces in starting positions.

    Humor

    Love a good laugh? Me too, friend. Lightheartedness can be super helpful in therapy and in dealing with anxiety in general.

ANXIETY IS SO WORKABLE

What therapy with me is actually like

Therapy with me is:

  • Practical tools to ease anxiety(you’ll learn tools you can use in real life)

  • Gentle and non-judgmental

  • Focused on helping you feel less stuck in your thoughts

  • A mix of insight and actionable strategies

We won’t just talk about your thoughts, we’ll practice how to respond to them differently so they don’t run the show.
