A Structured, Consultation‑Based Practice

Dr. Venera Miller

Venera R. Miller, MD, FAPA, FASAM

Affiliated with Sibley Memorial Hospital, Washington D.C. and Johns Hopkins Medicine

​Dr. Venera Miller is a Double Board‑Certified Psychiatrist and Addiction Medicine Physician providing comprehensive diagnostic evaluation and advanced psychopharmacologic strategy for adults with complex, treatment‑resistant, or diagnostically nuanced psychiatric conditions.
​
Her private consultation practice serves individuals seeking careful diagnostic clarification and a refined, in-depth treatment approach beyond what is typically available in high-volume clinical settings.
​

Patients frequently seek consultation following incomplete treatment response, persistent diagnostic uncertainty, or the need for a more advanced psychopharmacologic strategy.

Based in Prince Frederick, Maryland, Dr. Miller provides comprehensive psychiatric consultation to patients throughout Maryland, Washington D.C., and Northern Virginia in person and via telepsychiatry.

A Consultation ‑ Focused Model

 

Initial evaluations are comprehensive and typically 90-120 minutes in length, with emphasis on:

  • Diagnostic clarification

  • Medication optimization

  • Review of prior treatment response

  • Strategic, evidence‑based treatment planning

  • Careful risk–benefit analysis of current or proposed medications.

​

The objective is clarity — a coherent diagnosis and a deliberate clinical strategy.

In select cases, ongoing treatment may be established following completion of the initial consultation phase.  In other cases, detailed recommendations are provided to coordinate with existing treating clinicians.

​

Psychiatric Second Opinion & Diagnostic Clarification

​​

  • Independent psychiatric review

  • Clarification of bipolar vs. unipolar depression

  • Complex psychopharmacology cases

  • Evaluation after incomplete treatment response

​

Clinical Focus

 

Areas of focus include bipolar spectrum disorders, refractory depressive and anxiety conditions, obsessive‑compulsive phenomena, ADHD in high‑functioning professionals, psychotic disorders, PTSD, and co‑occurring substance use conditions.

​

​The practice frequently serves physicians, attorneys, executives, and other high‑functioning professionals seeking discreet, in‑depth psychiatric evaluation beyond standard outpatient models.

​

​Care is grounded in evidence‑based psychopharmacology, addiction‑informed principles, and attention to the medical–psychiatric interface.

​

Expert Witness Services

​

​​Dr. Miller provides expert witness services in General Psychiatry and Addiction Medicine, including independent psychiatric evaluations, case review, written reports, and testimony in civil,  some criminal, and administrative matters.

​

Independent Private Practice

 

The practice operates on a private‑pay basis to preserve:

​

  • Clinical independence from insurance restrictions

  • Extended, unhurried evaluations

  • Continuity and direct physician oversight

  • A discreet and professionally structured environment
