Paramus

Paramus is the largest single-town source of patients at Family Psychiatry and Therapy. Our practice has deep roots in the Paramus community — Dr. Miller has been treating northern New Jersey families for over twenty years, and a meaningful share of those families live in Paramus. We see Paramus residents entirely through secure telehealth video appointments.

Family Psychiatry and Therapy is a telehealth-only practice. Every appointment — psychiatric evaluation, medication management, therapy — happens by secure video from wherever you are. Paramus patients attend appointments from home, from a quiet space at work, or from anywhere private with a stable internet connection. There is no commute, no waiting room, and no time taken out of your day for travel.

How we serve Paramus

For Paramus patients, telehealth means real continuity. The retail traffic on Routes 4 and 17 makes a 9 a.m. or 5 p.m. office visit a meaningful time commitment. A telehealth appointment fits into a workday, a school day, or the time between two errands at Garden State Plaza without any of that.

We see Paramus patients across every life stage. Children and teens evaluated alongside their parents. Working adults navigating the demands of jobs based around the Paramus retail and office corridor. Older adults managing the mental health side of retirement, grief, and life transitions. Each new patient starts with an intake conversation, then is matched to the psychiatrist or therapist whose specialty best fits their needs.

Conditions we treat

Our psychiatrists and therapists work with Paramus residents across the full range of mental health needs:

• Anxiety and depression — the conditions we see most often
• ADHD in children, teens, and adults — including evaluation, medication management, and therapy
• OCD — including evidence-based ERP (Exposure and Response Prevention)
• PTSD and trauma-related conditions
• Bipolar disorder
• Panic disorder
• Children, teens, and young adults
