Psychotherapy Practice – Monique Miller, LMFT
Located at 550 Water Street, Building L, Suite 2 in Santa Cruz, California, Monique Miller operates a private psychotherapy practice established in 2022. Miller holds licensure as a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT #133387) and completed her clinical training at Pacifica Graduate Institute. Prior clinical work was conducted at Shine a Light Counseling Center.
The practice specializes in complex trauma recovery, couples and family therapy, ketamine-assisted psychotherapy, and Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy. Miller works with individuals navigating emotional neglect, narcissistic abuse, and trauma that has accumulated across extended time periods. Relationship challenges including disconnection and interpersonal conflict are addressed through couples and family sessions. An additional area of practice is the exploration of AI in relationships, examining how artificial intelligence shapes personal connections and individual well-being; this is described as an emerging and developing clinical inquiry area.
The practice’s stated clinical orientation emphasizes attunement-based approaches and is described as well-suited for people ready to engage in deeper therapeutic work, including those who may not yet have the language to fully articulate what they are experiencing or seeking. Brief consultation calls are offered for prospective clients to assess compatibility before beginning a formal therapeutic relationship.
Session format details, session fees, and insurance acceptance information are noted as available on separate pages of the practice website and are not summarized in the primary page content. The training background at Pacifica Graduate Institute, which is oriented toward depth psychology and Jungian-influenced frameworks, is reflected in the practice’s emphasis on working with material that may be difficult to articulate consciously. Ketamine-assisted psychotherapy is listed as a distinct specialty, indicating that the practice engages with psychedelic-assisted treatment modalities in addition to traditional talk and somatic approaches. The IFS framework, which structures internal experience as a family of parts rather than a unified self, informs much of the trauma and attachment work offered. The practice can be reached by phone at (831) 471-7402 or by email at moniquemillertherapy@gmail.com. Miller maintains professional directory profiles on Psychology Today and TherapyDen.
