Dr. Cindy Miller

I am a Licensed Psychologist in Texas and a Nationally Certified School Psychologist who specializes in treating children, adolescents, and adults with social-emotional, behavioral, and educational needs. I received my Ph.D. in School Psychology from New York University in 2008 and completed an APA-approved clinical psychology internship at the Devereux Foundation in Pennsylvania. I have received training in both private and public school settings, outpatient settings, hospitals, and in specialized educational programs for children and adolescents with emotional, behavioral, and developmental needs. I participated in a Family and Multicultural Therapy program for two years at Beth Israel Medical Center in New York City where I received supervised family therapy and multicultural competency-based training. In addition to my clinical work, I am an Assistant Professor in the School Psychology Program at Texas State University. My research seeks to understand and promote diversity and inclusion in educational settings. I am particularly interested in studying the development of and consequences associated with children’s social (e.g., gender stereotypes) and academic (e.g., growth mindset) cognitions. My research also involves developing and evaluating interventions to promote positive social and academic outcomes.

I utilize a strength-based integrative approach to therapy by integrating acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) with interpersonal, cognitive-behavioral, mindfulness, systemic, and psychodynamic approaches. I work collaboratively with individuals and families to determine which approaches work best to meet their unique needs.

I specialize in helping children and families with issues involving parenting, behavioral problems, social skills, anxiety, depression, executive functioning, academics, and family and peer relationships. I also enjoy working individually with adults who are experiencing anxiety, depression, executive functioning, or relationship difficulties.
