Oftentimes, reaching out for help is a big step towards wellness and healing. Congratulations on taking that step! My name is LaDonna Miller and I am a clinical social worker in Chicago, Illinois. I have over 9 years working in the mental health field and would love to work alongside you to accomplish your goals! I have experience working with adults with depression, ADHD, anxiety disorders, panic disorders, multicultural issues, and complex trauma. I would describe my style as warm and supportive, and I am ready to help you tackle your struggle head-on. Collaboration is important - together we can work on establishing concrete goals and steps for you to navigate mental health challenges, too. I know firsthand that getting help can be a challenge. I look forward to speaking with you to see if we are a good fit to partner in your journey!

I'm a bilingual (Spanish) Licensed Clinical Social Worker who works with children, adolescents, and young adults, along with the caregivers who support them. I believe therapy works best when caregivers are active partners, so collaboration is a big part of how I work. I use Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), Alternatives for Families CBT (AF-CBT), Problematic Sexual Behavior TF-CBT (PSB TF-CBT), motivational interviewing, mindfulness, and play-based strategies to help young people process trauma, manage big emotions, and build healthier coping skills. My sessions are calm and supportive, while still engaging and age-appropriate. I work with children and teens experiencing PTSD, anxiety, depression, ADHD, autism, and other emotional or behavioral challenges. I chose this work because I’m passionate about helping children and caregivers heal together and feel more confident moving forward.
