Welcome
Welcome to The Happiness Lab, the psychotherapy practice of Mandy Miller, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in California and Oregon since 2009. Currently, the Lab is headquartered in Portland, Oregon.
The Happiness Lab is where curiosity and courage are activated to create conscious connection to yourself. From my perspective, therapy isn’t to fix problems, rather, it is a place where we increase our capacity to be with life as it is, even in its most uncomfortable moments. I like to stay curious about how feelings impact moods. Do you see a difference between them? Therein lies the alchemy; we can change internally instead of endeavoring to wrestle the external world to be how we want it to be. I have discovered that’s where freedom resides.
What is the alchemy of your recovery?
I’m glad you’re here
What brought you here to this place, at this time? Was it an event culminating in a sense of loss and grief, or anger and resentment? Was it the impact of the collective trauma of the pandemic? Are you unsure about what step to take next as a parent or partner? Whatever your reason, you are welcome here.
With curiosity, let’s explore your wants, needs and limits. Let’s increase your capacity to communicate these things effectively, and expand your appreciation for your life, loved ones, and most importantly, yourself. My intention is to offer a creative, judgment-free environment where you feel your feelings, all of them, without pushing them away.
