LCSW, 6 years of experience
Hello! My name is Samantha Miller, Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I have been practicing in the mental health field for six years. I specialize in treating individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, barriers in communication, self-esteem issues, anger management, parenting skills, and stress management. I feel it is very important to meet individuals where they are when seeking treatment. I strive to assist you with addressing your needs and enhancing your overall quality of life.
During our first session, we will start with brief introductions, discuss history and background information, expectations for therapy, and rapport building.
We will work together to better understand your mental health and how to manage that aspect of who you are in your day-to-day life. I seek to aid you in opportunities of growth, healing, and motivation to make desired changes. You took your first step in seeking out a therapist, that is something to celebrate! If you are ready to be your best version of yourself, schedule an appointment with me today!
As a mental health professional, I enjoy empowering others to be their best version of themselves. It is important to build rapport and provide a safe, nonjudgmental environment to my clients for a positive therapeutic experience. I enjoy working with various populations including adolescents, college students, and adults.
The use of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) assist clients in gaining insight and understanding to their thoughts, actions, and behaviors. Acknowledging and exploring how those aspects are connected is the start to identifying what action steps can be taken to make desired changes.
Utilizing this approach has helped clients recognize their resilience and ability to promote their own well-being. Clients are able to identify their values, personal strengths, and determine goals they desire to achieve.
As a therapist, it is important to help empower clients. Person-centered therapy provides a nonjudgmental environment to allow clients to self-explore and gain understanding that they possess the skills to master and control their lives.
