Erica Miller, Ph.D. After four years of indescribable oppression and deprivation, Erica, her parents, and her sister were liberated by the Russians. Erica had no formal education while in the concentration camp. Entering school for the first time at age 11, she quickly learned the basics of reading, writing, and math. Much to the surprise and, in some cases, chagrin of her teachers and classmates, she excelled at all three.
Her family emigrated to Israel when she was 15. Erica attended high school at night while working during the day. Since education was not a priority at that time, receiving her high school diploma was an unusual accomplishment.
After high school, Erica, unlike many young girls, pursued her dream of joining the Israeli Air Force. Committed to defending her country, she served proudly. After her military service, she landed a prestigious job at the Israeli Government Tourist Information Office in Tel Aviv.
Erica returned to school and graduated with a Ph.D. in clinical psychology.
Shortly afterward, leveraging her unparalleled drive and her husband’s keen marketing skills, they opened a chain of mental health clinics throughout Los Angeles and Orange County. In addition, they ran California Diversion Intervention Foundation, a non-profit organization, offering programs to serve the needs of the substance abuse and domestic violence population referred by the Courts.
She’s written three books: “The Dr. Erica Miller Story: From Trauma to Triumph,”“Don’t Tell Me I Can’t Do It: Living Audaciously in the Here and Now,” and “Chronologically Gifted: Aging with Gusto!”

Re-cap: Dr. Miller spent four years of her childhood imprisoned in a Romanian Nazi-run camp in Mogilev, Ukraine. After the War, surviving starvation, degradation, and unspeakable atrocities, her family emigrated to Israel. There she pursued her education and served in the Israeli Air Force for two years, which was highly uncommon for women at that time. After coming to the United States, Dr. Miller’s determination and discipline led her to earn a Ph.D. in clinical psychology. Upon graduation, she established a chain of mental-health clinics. Today, she is an international best-selling author, an inspirational speaker, and the CEO of a highly successful real estate business.
