Ellen Miller, licensed marriage and family therapist, is a family therapist at Starting Pointe Therapy, who has been practicing as a therapist for eight years.

“My job is to make sure that you feel seen, heard and validated and that you’re getting the care that you need,” Miller said.

She stresses the importance of self-care and how one key way to take care of yourself is through therapy.

“If you’ve got a brain, you’ve got to work on your mental health,” Miller said. “The strongest thing you can do is to check in with yourself and realize ‘I need a little extra support.’”
