Meredith Millen, LMHC

Meredith Millen is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in New York with more than 20 years of professional experience. She also holds a permanent certification in School Psychology, which supports her collaboration with schools and educational teams when working with children and families.

She provides individual therapy for adults, couples therapy, and care for children and their families across a range of settings, with most sessions now offered virtually. Meredith includes consultation with school districts for wraparound planning and educational history when appropriate, and she supports LGBTQIA2S+ clients.

Her approach is integrative, drawing from multiple theoretical traditions to tailor care to each person’s needs. She emphasizes a client-centered stance combined with solution-focused techniques and, when helpful, behavior change strategies aimed at clear, goal-oriented problem solving. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and therapies focused on trauma and grief are among the modalities she regularly uses, alongside trauma-informed practices and mindfulness or conscious-awareness training.

Meredith works with concerns such as stress and anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, motivation and social anxiety, self-esteem and confidence, and broader life transitions. With children who have behavioral challenges she specializes in developing functional behavior plans to help families reduce or reshape problematic patterns. Her training in humanistic and transpersonal psychology informs methods that integrate mind, body, spirit, and soul, including meditation, Integrated Energy Therapy (IET), and other complementary approaches chosen collaboratively with the client.

She approaches therapy as a collaborative process that honors each person’s unique journey. Progress can take time and may bring up difficult emotions such as anger or sadness; these responses are treated as part of the healing process and are addressed within the therapeutic work. Meredith tailors conversations and treatment plans to individual goals, projecting short-term objectives and applying techniques and strategies that fit each person’s circumstances. She aims to support and empower clients as they pursue greater well-being.
