Overview

Dr. Jennifer R Miller is a bilingual English and Spanish-speaking neuropsychologist. She received early training in neuropsychology at Brigham and Women’s Hospital, Harvard Medical School, and went on to earn her PhD from Ferkauf Graduate School of Psychology. Dr. Miller received advanced training at North Shore University Hospital/Northwell Health, where she completed her clinical internship and postdoctoral fellowship. Her primary clinical and research interests range from neurological conditions, such as multiple sclerosis and dementia, to developmental and psychiatric conditions, such as ADHD and depression. Dr. Miller’s approach to patient care is informed by unique training in neuroanatomy and cognition, which are integrated into each patient’s developmental, biological, psychological, and sociocultural backgrounds. Together, these factors are utilized to consider diagnoses and treatment recommendations that target each patient’s unique needs.
