Max Miller

Max Miller

Therapist

Virtual • Vermont


There is always a path beyond what you're struggling with now. For 35 years I've had the privilege to help people like you look at their lives. I've helped them find ways to directly look at the pain, fear, anger, shame, depression, trauma, and other struggles that feel overwhelming. More importantly, I've helped people move beyond today's focus on pain and struggle to discover new ways to manage their lives, to suffer less, to feel more space, trust, and aliveness.

I completed my MA in Buddhist and Contemplative Psychology in 1992 and have added extensive training in mindfulness, Somatic Experiencing, treatment of PTSD and complex trauma, Dialogue Therapy for couples, and addictions. But methods alone don't heal. We'll build a strong therapeutic partnership over time to help you feel like yourself again.

Robert Descoteaux

Therapist

Virtual • Vermont


I’m a licensed therapist with more than 20 years of experience in behavioral health. I trained at Goddard College, earned my doctorate in public health from Tulane University, and am licensed to practice in both Maine and Vermont.

I work with individuals navigating a wide range of emotional, relational, and life challenges. My approach is grounded in an existential perspective, which means I help clients explore questions of meaning, identity, connection, and how their environments shape their wellbeing. I believe that even healthy people can become symptomatic in unhealthy environments, and I work collaboratively with clients to better understand their experiences, build insight, and move toward lives that feel more authentic and sustainable.

My goal is to offer a thoughtful, supportive space where clients can reflect, heal, and make meaningful change.

Find the right therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Mental Health Therapist in Vermont

Searching for therapists in Vermont starts with finding someone whose training fits what you want support with. Across the state, therapist options can vary between more populated areas and rural communities, so it helps to focus your search early. You may be looking for support with anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, trauma, or life transitions. Review each therapist’s listed specialties, therapy approach, and experience with concerns like yours. Modalities such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, and eye movement desensitization and reprocessing may appear in therapist profiles, along with details about what sessions are like.

Location and format also matter when comparing Vermont therapists. If you live near Burlington, Montpelier, Rutland, or a smaller community, you may want an in-person therapist close to home or work. Virtual appointments can also expand your options across Vermont, especially when local availability is more limited. As you narrow your search, look at appointment times, whether the therapist is accepting new clients, and whether a free phone consultation is offered. Reading bios before booking can help you understand each therapist’s communication style, session structure, and fit for your preferences.

The cost of mental health care in Vermont varies, and using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you find therapists who match your needs, take your insurance, and are accepting new patients. Nationally, Headway works with over 100 insurance plans, and you can enter your plan details to check coverage and see an estimated out-of-pocket cost before booking. From there, you can compare Vermont therapists, review profiles, and book directly when you’re ready.

1 Cost may vary based on your location, age, and insurance coverage.
