About Me

I believe that clinicians should have the autonomy to create their own path.

Hi, I’m Elana Miller, MD

I’m an integrative psychiatrist, 2x cancer survivor and owner of Zen Psychiatry, a private practice located in Los Angeles, California.

I believe that clinicians should have the autonomy to create their own path – one where financial abundance and genuine joy in their work are not just possible but expected. By empowering clinicians to establish their own integrative private practices, we are not just transforming their careers — we are igniting a ripple effect of change that will touch the lives of all of the patients they will one day impact.

I believe that staying in broken systems out of fear or lack of knowledge is a disservice to both the clinician and the patient. By equipping psychiatrists with the essential business skills and mental frameworks needed to become successful entrepreneurs, we are offering them a better option — a path where they are no longer just clinicians but also empowered leaders of their own destiny.

I believe that if enough psychiatrists choose to leave behind the outdated, bureaucratic systems that undervalue their contributions, we will force these systems to change and finally recognize and adequately compensate the invaluable work that we do. Solo practitioners can provide more personalized, patient-centered care, far beyond what any large, impersonal organization can offer. We are actively fighting against the corporate takeover of medicine.

I believe in a ‘Middle Way’ approach to psychiatry — one that respects patient preferences, embraces holistic care, and draws from all healing modalities that can be beneficial. Integrative psychiatry is the future and represents wisdom, balance, and a commitment to truly comprehensive care.

I am dedicated to making this approach the new standard and challenging the outdated notion that psychiatry must be either purely traditional or entirely alternative. I believe in a future where integrative psychiatry is not just accepted, but celebrated as the norm.

“This is one of the best decisions I made when starting my practice. It’s a no brainer, the return on investment is absolutely there.”

Jess R., PMHNP

★★★★★

“I’m charging 3X more than what I did when I started this program; I was charging $350 for an intake, and $150 for follow-up appointments. Now I’m charging $1,000 for an intake, and $325 for follow-ups. That’s over a $200K difference in just one year.”

Alysha W., PMHNP

★★★★★

“It has definitely pushed me to charge more than I would have and helped me recognize how valuable my skills are to the type of patient I’m marketing myself to. I think my imposter syndrome would have overwhelmed me if not for the program.”

Sarah, PMHNP

★★★★★

“I had a micro practice prior to joining the program and the program helped me grow from ~8-10 patients to 45-50 patients in less than a year. This has been phenomenal for my enjoyment of my private practice. I feel energized and joyful towards my practice.”
