Hello everyone, My name is Beatrice Miller and I am a licensed social worker. My passion lies in working with youth, specifically with adolescents ages 12 to 17. During this complex stage of development, teenagers often struggle with factors such as interpersonal effectiveness, risky behaviors, identity development, and social influence from peers. However, I recognize that every teenager has some level of resilience and I help them tap into this inner strength. I strive to create a safe and secure space for my clients to feel comfortable and at ease in sharing their vulnerabilities and sensitivities.

I believe we all have the ability to change. Whether your an individual, couple, or family you deserve to live your best life.

I focus on building strong therapeutic relationships aligned with your personal goals and individual strengths.

I am passionate about the next generation. Children, adolescents, and young adults have a plethora of information overloading their minds and bodies daily. Often, this information causes sensory overload and produces feelings of distress that manifest as depression, anxiety, social isolation, disconnection, and much more. I believe that by providing a safe space to question, process, and examine the world, children, teens, and young adults can heal from traumatic experiences, grow into their purpose, and become resilient and self-empowered individuals. I enjoy working with youth of all ages.

The world has a funny way of pointing out all the ways we seem to fall short. This often leads to thoughts and behaviors that get in our own way of personal growth and self-acceptance. Let's work to identify and focus on your strengths, change unhealthy thinking patterns, tackle challenging decisions, maintain healthy relationships, cope with difficult realities, and heal from emotional pain. I celebrate your decision to consider counseling. It is a choice that is already evidence of your strength and courage. You are unique and so should be your therapy. I utilize an integrative approach to discover together what is best for you!
