Psychotherapy Services
Dr. Charlene Underhill Miller and her associates provide psychotherapy
to individuals, couples, and families.
Dr. Miller treats a wide
range of issues such as relational problems, self-sabotage, pregnancy
and post-partum difficulties, and parenting
challenges. Her doctoral work focused on
specialized care to adults and children who have been effected
by sexual abuse and trauma.
Dr. Miller utilizes a psychodynamic
perspective, working with her clients in a collaborative and insightful
process. Problems are
understood within a context of past interpersonal experiences which
often help
provide understanding to the client’s current situation.
Dr. Miller also is prepared to help clients with a faith base to
effectively
integrate spiritual convictions and concerns with psychological
understandings.
Dr. Miller sees clients at both her Pasadena and
