You can expect a safe, collaborative space where your story is valued, and healing is supported with compassion and focused on empowering you in your healing journey. I utilize an integrative approach to therapy, pulling from modalities such as Attachment-based, Compassion Focused, EMDR, Emotionally Focused, Family Systems, Interpersonal, Person-Centered, ACT, and Somatic. You don’t have to hold all of this by yourself anymore. You don't have to act like you're fine. You get to be honest here. You get a space to say the things you've never told anyone and be met with kindness.

My goal is to help clients cultivate healthy relationships with the most vulnerable parts of themselves by emphasizing self-compassion and exploring how painful past experiences are impacting them in the present. At the center of my therapeutic work is the belief that all “symptoms” are adaptations our brains and bodies have used to protect us and keep us safe from pain and suffering. Working with me, you can expect to honor those survival skills while learning more functional, longer-term ways of coping.

The Empathy Paradigm website offers numerous practical resources, including a Religious Trauma Therapist Directory , a huge list of recommended books, media, and supportive organizations, multiple self-assessments designed to help survivors understand their experiences, and more. In addition to resources for survivors, Empathy Paradigm offers continuing education and one-on-one consultations for mental health professionals who work with religious trauma.

We wholeheartedly affirm and celebrate people with LGBTQ+ identities, neurodivergence, disabilities, and diverse racial and cultural backgrounds. As the owner, Anna Clark Miller takes a religiously neutral approach to training and counseling. She has first-hand experience with the harm that can occur when a counselor imposes their personal religious views on a client. Empathy Paradigm's goal is not to villainize or defend any religious preference. Instead, our work focuses on identifying the beliefs, practices, and systems that were disempowering so we can promote autonomy and healing in the aftermath of those experiences. Regardless of a person's views on spirituality or religion, we believe they can pursue healing, address abusive dynamics, and be part of breaking the cycle of harm. Autonomy Inclusivity Religious Neutrality About Anna Clark Miller For God's Sake Recovering from Religious Trauma If you've had harmful experiences in a religious setting, my new book offers language to help you understand what you've experienced, process your hurt and anger, and start healing on your own terms.
