Elizabeth Miller is licensed as a Marriage and Family Therapist Intern in Nevada and offers telehealth sessions throughout the state. She holds a Master of Science in Family Therapy from Friends University, completed in 2023, and brings to her practice published peer-reviewed research on Balanced Parenting, a framework she developed to help mothers reduce anxiety-driven patterns in how they relate to their children, grounded in Bowen Family Systems Theory.
Her Approach
Elizabeth works with adults, and most of her practice centers on mothers. She sees clients navigating postpartum anxiety in the months after birth and mothers years further along who cannot explain why a low-level guilt follows them through days they have objectively handled well. The client she knows best has made her children her entire focus: she monitors their emotional states, researches every parenting decision, and feels a particular sting on the days she checks out or puts something else first.
Elizabeth works from Bowen Family Systems Theory, which means sessions focus less on what happened this week and more on patterns that have repeated across years or generations. She is interested in where a client’s anxiety originates in their own family history to give the client something concrete to see and eventually work against. Clients often describe noticing, sometimes for the first time, that there is a moment between what triggers them and how they respond where they can make a different choice.
