Private Practice

EXPRESSIVE WRITING. Expressive writing techniques can be effective aids for individuals who are dealing with traumatic wounds and post traumatic stress. Private sessions to learn expressive writing techniques can be coordinated with a client's on-going professional therapy when an individual is ready to work on issues through writing. Exercises used are from the Write It Out Program.
FICTION, MEMOIR & NON-FICTION MANUSCRIPTS. Individual attention and encouragement is recommended for students who are working on articles or books for publication and need in depth editing; and those wishing to document their life stories for family and friends and need assistance in preparing the manuscript. Consultations can be in person or via long distance learning.
MOTIVATIONAL SPEAKING. Ronni Miller, Director of Write It Out®, is a available to speak to your organization on the benefits of expressive writing for personal growth and healing.
Contact Ronni Miller for an appointment.
