Larry J. Miller, Ph.D.

Dr. Miller, a licensed psychologist, founded The Divorce Recovery and Family Resources Center in 1988 and serves as its director. He provides the counseling services of the center. He had a career in mental health and mental retardation administration before returning to full time clinical practice in 1982. His focus on relationships, divorce, single parenting, remarriage and step-parenting stems from his own life experiences in these areas as well as from on-going study. His conviction of the healing power of community and peer support is reflected in the work he does with groups. His clinical orientation most approximates the Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy model of Albert Ellis. About half of his clients are individuals and half couples and families. He has created and led a number of seminars since 1985 and currently teaches the When Your Relationship Ends.
