      <image:title>Services - Evidence-based Psychotherapy Offerings</image:title>
      <image:caption>Every client walks in with a different history, a different nervous system, and a different set of goals for our work together, so I don't pick one method and apply it to everyone. I'm trained in several evidence-based therapies (EMDR, CBT, ACT, IPT, STAIR, Gottman Method, etc.) and I draw from them based on what fits you. Some clients need help processing specific traumatic memories. Others need tools for managing anxiety day-to-day. Many need both, plus space to explore who they are outside of who they've had to be. I utilize an integrated approach, and work to tailor my interventions to the client's specific needs.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Services - An emphasis on cultural competence</image:title>
      <image:caption>Every client presents for therapy with a unique set of circumstances. Often, clients have felt their diverse backgrounds have been overlooked societally and in their search for care. I have worked a great deal with the BIPOC and LGBTQIA communities, as well as those with chronic health concerns. My goal as a clinician is to recognize and understand how a client’s lived experience plays a role in their mental health functioning.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Meet Dr. Miller- Founder &amp; CEO of Protea Psychological Services Hello! My name is Dr. LaTasha Miller. I'm a doctoral-level psychologist and the founder of Protea Psychological Services. I work with high-achieving adults — particularly in the BIPOC and LGBTQIA+ communities — who are tired of holding everything together and ready to figure out who they are underneath all of it. Why I Do This Work: I know what it feels like to be the one who always has it together (on the outside at least). For so much of my life, I understood the assignment: work twice as hard, take up the right amount of space, and whatever you do, don't let them see you struggle. I became a high achiever. I built the credentials, checked the boxes, showed up for everyone around me. But inside, the exhaustion was real. That's when I committed to my own healing and invested in therapy. Through therapy, I got to understand why I was wired the way I was. The patterns. The armor. The survival strategies I'd been running on long before I knew that's what they were. My own experiences have led me to work with people who also need a space to feel seen. That's why now, after 10 years of working with high-achieving adults navigating burnout, perfectionism, and unhealed trauma, I do this work with my whole heart. I use a trauma-informed, culturally responsive approach — drawing on modalities like EMDR, CBT, ACT, CPT, and Gottman Method — to help you go underneath the stress and the striving to what's actually driving it. We work at your pace, in a space where your full identity is welcome. It's been an honor watching the clients I work with go from running on fumes and people-pleasing, to setting boundaries, trusting themselves, and finally feeling present in their own lives. My goal is to provide a space where someone can explore their emotional experience without fear of judgment or stigma.</image:caption>
