Patrea Miller, M.A., MFT
I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in private practice in Santa Rosa, California. I received my B.A. degree in Psychology from UC Davis and my M.A. degree in Counseling from Sonoma State University in 2003.
I specialize in pre-marital, couples, individual and child therapy. My experience includes working with anxiety, depression, trauma, family discord, addiction, eating disorders, and LBGTQ issues.
I have been in the counseling field for the past 20 years. I utilize a person-centered, cognitive-behavioral and family systems approach. I have knowledge and competency in contemporary evidence-based theories and a solid foundation in providing genuine working skills that clients need to be successful. Therapy does not end when the session ends.
One theory that I will be using in our sessions is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). CBT has a high rate of success in helping clients challenge their issues, change their distorted or negative thoughts, and finally change their behavior. CBT exercises will be given throughout therapy. This ensures that you will be practicing change in your environment and will motivate you to engage in genuine opportunities for growth and solutions to your personal challenges.
