About Ellen C.S. Miller, LMFT
I am Ellen Miller, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I specialize in working with children/teens, adults, couples, and families of varying backgrounds and presenting problems. Whatever your motivation to start therapy, I am ready to help you create lasting change.
​
I received my Bachelor of Arts in Psychology with a specialization in Human Development & Family Studies from Michigan State University and my Master of Science in Marriage and Family Therapy from Northwestern University. Prior to Starting Pointe Therapy, I was the Clinical Director at an outpatient therapy agency in the North Shore suburbs of Chicago that specialized in adolescent mental health, psychoeducation, and crisis management.
​
My clinical experience, partnered with my understanding of the community, lends to a unique and thoughtful perspective to guide our work together. I believe that each person possesses the strengths they need to overcome their difficulties. My goal is to provide a safe and supportive space to discover these traits while encouraging you every step of the way.
