Louise Miller MA, LPCC, NCC is a psychotherapist in Albuquerque, NM with an engaging style and approach who works well with people who are curious about their issues, actively interested in knowing themselves more deeply, and improving their lives. Counseling and therapy can dramatically assist people in many areas of their lives, not the least of which are to be able to know oneself and to find meaning and purpose, to be able to have one's feelings, not to be ruled by them, or defined by them.

Couples Therapy is a true specialty. Whether you are on the brink of a break-up or seeking a deeper connection with your partner, I can help. We all grapple with the universal dilemma inherent in our need for connection versus our yearning for freedom to be ourselves. I can help you explore the imbalances that lead to disconnection, dissatisfaction and ultimately the deadening of a relationship. I offer my non-judgmental presence, training and experience to couples and individual adults.

Currently a WAITING LIST (PRES/PRIVATE PAY Clients only). Seeking and building trust with a professional can be uncomfortable as you are putting your trust in a complete stranger. I hope to build a therapeutic relationship and help you find courage through gentle comfort and support, while offering tools to develop coping skills to create a safe environment. I am passionate about helping others, desire to re-instill hope in people's lives, and can attest to therapy being healing. My intent is to guide you while together exploring and working toward resolution so you may establish stability and self-confidence.

I offer services to women of all ages, and occasionally children, who have had trauma in their background and are seeking to find clarity in who they are now, and where they want to go from here. I offer expressive modalities in addition to talk therapy for an ease in releasing the past, increasing self esteem, and leading to a safer and more joyous future.

Areas of expertise include: Perinatal support: I am a Certified Perinatal Mental Health Professional (PMH-C). If you are on your fertility journey, pregnant, or postpartum, I would love to help. Ambitious women: Navigating ambitious careers or life transitions when societal demands on women remain pervasive can result in anxiety, depression, unmanageable stress and sometimes even post-traumatic stress. You are not alone. Relationships: My goal is to help you healthily develop and maintain relationships, whatever that looks like. I am person-centered and strength based.

I’m currently not taking new clients. During times of change, transition, stressful events or due to our limiting beliefs, we may seek guidance to become more flexible, expansive and self- aware. Transitions may include retirement, developing a second act in life, empty nest, aging, grief and loss of a loved one or pet, divorce or trauma. I draw from the ancient wisdom of Yoga, Ayurveda and my knowledge gained through 20 years of professional experience as a therapist, to provide individuals guidance on a path of balance and self- awareness.

There may be times in your life when you experience difficulties, conflicts, issues, or losses which challenge your capacity to cope effectively.

The most difficult situations, can be launching pads for growth and healing. I have found a number of paths helpful in that journey. I would be honored to partner with you to reach workable solutions. I am currently providing Video Telehealth or phone sessions

The time is now. Today is the day to remember that it's just one moment at a time, one breath at a time. Taking a moment to reconnect with the feeling centers inside in a safe and calm way. Through talk therapy and non-judgmental creative exploration with color, texture, earth based materials, 2-D/3-D elements,etc., we can work on processing, communication and strengthening your personal tools for everyday living. I also have over 20 years of experience with women’s counseling, prenatal/postnatal counseling, birth coaching, nutritional counseling, and multicultural & diversity counseling.

Are you looking for a non-traditional therapist? I integrate my spiritual life coaching training and the practice of art-making into the therapeutic process in a way that honors who you are wholistically. This wholistic approach is based on the psycho-spiritual therapeutic modality, which is grounded in the notion that “the soul is the starting point for balance.” This approach to treatment takes into consideration the WHOLE of who you are, be it physically, emotionally, spiritually, intellectually, culturally, etc. and examines how your lived experiences have impacted your mental health.

The Family Connection is a safe, inviting place that helps people to address their own concerns and grow to be the person that they want to be. That person has always been there but is often hidden behind pain and negative self thoughts. I enjoy helping people find what decisions and behaviors have led them to this place of pain and how to make different decisions within their own life, to become more empowered to be the person they have always desired to be.

I am a bilingual, licensed psychotherapist with 28 years of experience. My training includes graduating from programs in the USA, Mexico and Argentina. I integrate different modalities to help clients find relief from psychological pain, as well as find meaning and purpose in their lives. I am also a cancer survivor who has successfully dealt with these issues in my life.

*Offering Telehealth Services* As humans, we do the best we can in navigating the challenges that life throws our way. Sometimes we navigate these challenges effectively, and other times we may acquire coping skills and patterns of behavior that were once helpful but no longer serve us. Are you ready to break free of old patterns and to learn a new set of skills that will help you on your journey ahead? Are you curious about examining why these patterns may have emerged in the first place? It is true that uncomfortable emotions and experiences are a part of life, but this doesn't mean we need to be controlled by our pain.

Are you suffering because your life is out of balance? If you are, your relationships have probably deteriorated and you may feel depressed, anxious, tense and irritable. Even your relationship with your self may be suffering. These emotions are telling you that your psychological system is out of balance and adjustments need to be made. Whether you are alone, in a relationship, or in a family system, I will help you to identify where these imbalances are happening for you and we will work together to establish harmony and restore health and wellbeing to your personal or family system.
