Meredith Millen, LMHC

Meredith Millen is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in New York with more than 20 years of professional experience and a permanent certification in School Psychology. She provides therapy to adults and couples, and works with children and their families in a range of settings, including a virtual telehealth office. Meredith supports LGBTQIA2S+ clients, may consult with school districts for wrap-around care and educational history when working with children, and now delivers most sessions virtually.

Her approach is integrative and client-centered, drawing from multiple theoretical orientations so that care is tailored to the individual. She uses solution-focused techniques and goal-oriented problem solving, and when helpful she incorporates behavior modification strategies to address specific patterns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) are part of her toolkit, and she applies trauma-informed practices along with mindfulness and conscious awareness exercises.

Meredith works with a wide range of concerns, including stress and anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, self-esteem and confidence, social anxiety, and coping with life changes. She emphasizes cultivating self-awareness, self-acceptance, and healthier relationships, and collaborates with clients to set short-term goals and practical strategies that reflect their priorities.

When working with children and families she develops functional behavior plans to help reduce dysfunctional patterns and support positive change. Her practice also integrates humanistic and transpersonal perspectives for clients who seek mind-body-spirit approaches, offering complementary methods such as meditation, Integrated Energy Therapy (IET), and other modalities chosen by the client.

Meredith frames therapy as a collaborative process that respects each person’s unique journey. She acknowledges that progress unfolds differently for everyone and partners with clients to tailor conversations and treatment plans that match their needs and goals.
