      <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: As a clinician, I have worked with people from all kinds of backgrounds, and have noticed one major commonality: each person sitting across from me is looking to be seen and understood. Unfortunately for many, life starts getting in the way, and self-care, self-understanding, and healing tend to take a back seat. My goal is to provide a space where someone can explore their emotional experience without fear of judgment or stigma. My Background and Training: I earned my PsyD from the Chicago School of Professional Psychology and am licensed in Illinois, Washington, and North Carolina. I’m also able to see clients in over 40 states with PSYPACT. Over the course of my career I've worked with veterans, members of the LGBTQIA+ and BIPOC communities, and adults navigating chronic health conditions. I'm trained in several evidence-based approaches for depression, anxiety, and trauma, and I draw from them based on what fits the person in front of me. Off the Clock: I currently live in Chicago, IL. When I’m not working, you can find me traveling the world, eating all the things, and spending time with family and friends! I also have a pup who loves keeping me on my toes!</image:caption>
