I have worked with children of all ages and am passionate about helping young people and their parents navigate their challenges. Navigate their difficult journeys.

At different points in our lives, we experience feeling at rock bottom or struggle to problem solve through life transitions. You are not alone, even when at times it can feel impossible to reach a balance; one which we all strive to find. We are all unique individuals with a lot of different experiences. We also share some things in common: a lot of raw, real emotions. We have our own stories to tell.

I am uniqely qualified in treating youth and family with mental health and substance abuse issues. I will assist family in maintaining appropriate parent-child boundaries and recognizing how feelings are connected to misbehavior.

I work primarily with children, adolescents, and their families. However, I additionally work across the age spectrum and throughout the adoption network with adoption-related issues. I see behaviors as communication of unmet needs. As a client-centered therapist, I work to learn where clients have unmet emotional needs, how their family can work to meet those needs, and what barriers there are to that process.

Navigating a journey, seeking therapy, figuring out meanings, setting and reaching intentions, transitions in life, making changes, and all the “stuff” that comes with that can be overwhelming. My goal is to help it become less overwhelming and more manageable. I strive to create a safe environment where individuals feel heard which allows space for change. The space created helps guide individuals to recognize their own strengths and learn new skills for growth. Each individual is their own key to discovering their new journey and I am here to help in that discovery.

You are not broken. No one is. Still it can feel that way sometimes. Chances are, you're actually a capable, talented, and lovable person dealing with a crappy situation (or bunch of situations) or life just isn't what you want it to be. I want to understand how you see yourself, explore what isn't working, and define what success means for you (not what others' or society has told you). We will explore the ways you've overcome hard things before and test out new tools, until we find what works specifically for you. My most important job is to reflect your strengths and beauty back to you and help you put these skills to work.

My training has been quite diverse thus I enjoy working with individuals of all ages and needs. My ideal client is an individual who understands the need to seek help or guidance and is willing to work with me on these concerns. I have over 18 years of clinical experience and enjoy working with "systems" (e.g., schools, families, support systems). I prioritize consultation with schools when addressing school-based behaviors such as underachievement, learning disabilities, and bullying concerns. I take a "strength-based" approach, always attempting to work within the clients talents and building from that point forward.

Welcome! My name is Dr. Courtney K. Miller and I am the Director of Clinical Services at the Immaculate Heart of Mary Counseling Center (IHMCC). We at IHMCC want to support anyone who may be experiencing difficulties in their day to day life. Sometimes individuals may need a supportive environment to refine what they are doing; sometimes individuals need longer, more intensive therapy to address and heal past wounds. It can be difficult sometimes to know what to do, how to do it or who to ask. We are here to help.
