Miles Cook

Working with children from the ages of 5-17, I handle intake assessments, build and update treatment plans, hold individual and family sessions, and make treatment recommendations as my patient's time in their PHP and IOP environments evolves. Additionally, I am in charge of working with my patients' schools to ensure they can seamlessly reenter their learning environments after completion of care.

• Conducted intake and needs assessments to set therapeutic goals and establish professional relationships with clients.
• Performed individual and group psychotherapy and conducted teletherapy sessions to help clients pinpoint emotions underlying personal and relational conflicts.
• Conducted intake and assessments to formulate treatment plan and manage client records.
• Developed and implemented creative interventions to engage couples and promote therapeutic progress.

As a clinician in private practice, I attempted to build a fulltime caseload. I managed intake assessments, coordinated with my supervisor to build treatment plans, and saw my patients an average of once to twice a week, depending on their clinical needs.

As a Group Facilitator, I worked with groups of 10-30 patients in 75-minute sessions, three times a day. Group topics ranged from emotional regulation, and gratitude, to coping skills for patients in handling their presenting symptoms. In leading groups, learning to understand pace and flow was essential to keep patients engaged and feeling heard throughout our time together. Patients were encouraged to engage in group discussions and educated on how to best reflect on the shares of their peers to foster a supportive and nurturing environment for all participants.

As an RADT, I was in charge of the day to day operations of a residential treatment center in Colfax, CA. I oversaw taper supervision for patients on medically assisted treatment (MAT), facilitated transportation for patients with our facilities team, and kept our medical environments secure, ensuring that patients had safe access to their prescriptions.
