About

Dr. Alicia Miller is a psychologist practicing in Scottsdale, Arizona who specializes in the evaluation of children suspected of having autism spectrum disorders, attention deficit disorders, mood/behavior disorders, and disorders related to complex trauma. She is certified in Dr. Bruce Perry's Neurosequential Model for Therapeutics, which maps the brain related to trauma and then guides the best modality for effective treatment. In addition, she is an expert in the psychological assessment and treatment of individuals identified with Smith-Magenis syndrome, a rare genetic microdeletion. Dr. Miller also performs medical clearance evaluations for adults seeking spinal cord stimulators and trials, intrathecal pain pumps, and peripheral nerve stimulators.

Personally, Dr. Miller is the proud mother of two children, the oldest of whom has Smith-Magenis syndrome, Autism, and an intellectual disability. She is well aware of the stress the increased behavior dysregulation, therapy appointments and medical bills can put on a family. She strives to assist the whole family by offering empathy and understanding, as well as resources and support to increase the quality of life for all.
