Emily F Miller, MSW, LGSW

With a Master’s in Social Work from Columbia University, I am a committed therapist specializing in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). My education and training have equipped me with a thorough understanding of DBT’s core principles, including mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness. I’m deeply passionate about helping clients actively participate in their own healing process. I work to foster self-efficacy and resilience by guiding you through DBT practices in a way that feels empowering and supportive. My goal is to collaborate with you to develop a treatment plan that’s uniquely tailored to your personal needs and aspirations, making sure you feel truly heard and understood.

I have experience working with diverse populations and am committed to integrating cultural sensitivity and respect into all aspects of my practice. I strive to create a supportive environment where every client feels understood and valued. Whether you are seeking to manage emotional challenges, improve your relationships, or build resilience, I am here to support you on your journey towards well-being.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy

ACP’s DBT program adheres to the Linehan model of DBT, is certified by MN DHS. Our clients meet with their individual therapist for one hour a week and attend a two-hour weekly skills group for at least 26 weeks. Unlike traditional group psychotherapy which focuses on processing experiences and feelings, DBT groups focus on learning four sets of important skills: mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotional regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness. DBT is a very effective treatment for multiple conditions including borderline personality disorder, depression, PTSD, impulsivity, eating disorders, and some forms of anxiety.

Telehealth Services

To expand and improve our care options for clients, ACP offers Telehealth (phone or video) appointments. Telehealth uses phone or video conferencing to connect you with highly qualified and experienced providers in real-time from the comfort and convenience of your own home or office. Before your telehealth appointment, you will receive details for how you will connect with your provider. If you will be connecting via phone, the provider will plan to call you at your scheduled appointment time. Please be ready to take the call and also check that your phone allows calls from blocked numbers (accessible within your phone settings). If you will be connecting via video conference, your provider will email you an invite to join the appointment. Please call our office to learn more about ACP’s telehealth services and to schedule an appointment.
