Tatia Miller
Tatia Miller, MA, LPC, LSOTP, CCM First, let me tell you just a bit about my personal self. I am Texas born and bred. I've only lived outside of this state I love for just three very short periods. I've always come back. My license is only in Texas. And, I've worked my entire adult life in the mental and behavioral health fields. I've been fortunate to always work, but I do have lots of hobbies. I've been married 35 years, have two grown daughters and two very very CUTE grandchildren. My two dogs keep me busy. I do think pugs are so adorable--but probably suffer a bit of ADHD themselves. I am in that age bracket that still worries about my aging dad. My philosophy for therapy and life is very simple. It’s like a recipe. If we take a little of that and a dab of this, we can create something, if not magical—at least edible. Life is not always easy or delectable, but it is usually, at least, a place where we can learn to improve our “recipe” for coping with any of life's struggles. While we can never change events which have occurred, we can develop a different view of what we’ve been through and a plan to create a better outlook- creating a “recipe” of healing and a better emotional state. In my life, I’ve been fortunate to have had the greatest experiences. While I thought I was just working to help take care of my family—feeling grateful to be working in a field I very much love, my path was creating a base and layers of experience which would afford me lots of success, a wealth of ideas and the wisdom to help others. Counseling is a more of a calling for me. I truly believe that without a higher power's direction, I would not be able to have helped others in confronting the experiences and challenges my clients and I have faced together throughout all these years. I'm a firm believer that no one person should spend all their time in therapy. While there are some instances that require a longer modality, most issues can be approached with shorter solutions. This doesn't believe that I think someone can be healed in 6 short sessions. What it does mean is that it is imperative that we use the skills we learn in therapy in our daily lives. Without this step, healing cannot occur. Thus, it is a two-part progression; learn the steps in therapy and then actually use them in daily living. As a result of working so long, I have been privileged to have worked with many populations: neurological disorders such as ADHD, TBI/ABI and autism; depression; chronic mental illness; personality disorders; work-related injuries and chronic health issues. I have worked with both men and women of all generations, as well as helped those who have been to prison/have legal issues; have dealt with grief/loss and have felt compromised by lost relationships such as divorce. If you are seeking a plan of health; a recipe of sorts, which might help you see that more fruitful outlook, I look forward to meeting with you and helping you learn to create the best “recipe” for you to flourish and in being your best self. Thank you for considering me. I so look forward to meeting you!

I am a certified premarital counselor and parenting counselor. I completed a Professional Training Program in Mind-Body Medicine. I hold certifications of Assisting Individuals in Crisis and Group Crisis Intervention. Therapy is a unique, very personalized, and professional service. We can discuss anything that is important to you under a non-judgmental environment. I create a safe and comfortable space for my clients who can be who he/she is. I love what I am doing as a therapist. You hear, "Find a job you love, you never work a day," That's me.

I want you to know that no matter what happened in the past or what is going on in your life, you have every right to be happy and you are going to find it. My approaches are Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Person Centered Therapy, Mindfulness-based and Spiritual. My view of therapy is finding “Truth, "about life, human nature, relationship, human condition, generational cycle, upbringing,...etc., which will help you understand them deeply, gain insight, and ultimately "set you free" from anxiety, panic attacks, depression, and/or stress, overall free from human suffering. Furthermore, therapy is nurturing “inner world,” recognizing you are not just “Thoughts,” “Emotions,” “Body,” but much more beyond, above, infinite, timeless, formless, and eternal “Being” with “Soul” and “Spirit” which is the essence of who you are, “Perfect,” “Complete,” “Whole,” “Original,” and “Enough." Therapy is the journey to realize the essence of who you are as a human being not as a human doing, practice being in the present moment to live not at the mercy of external world, eventually living with inner joy, freedom, integrity, and peace.

Shelly Hendley
Are you feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or like you've lost sight of who you are outside of everyone else's needs? You're not alone — and you don't have to figure it out alone either. As a licensed therapist in Texas with a Master's in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and pursuing a Doctorate in Community Care and Counseling, I specialize in working with people navigating anxiety, addiction and recovery, relationship patterns, and seasons of personal reinvention. Whether you're in the middle of a major life transition, working through the weight of past experiences, or simply trying to understand yourself better, this is a space where all of that is welcome. My approach is warm and direct. I'll meet you with genuine empathy, and I'll also gently challenge you when I think it serves your growth. Sessions aren't one-size-fits-all — we'll work together in a way that fits your pace, your personality, and your goals. My training includes Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Trauma-Focused CBT, Gottman Method Couples Therapy, and addiction counseling, so we have a lot of tools to draw from depending on what you need. I'm particularly passionate about creating a faith-sensitive environment where your spirituality isn't set aside — it can be part of your healing if that's meaningful to you. I also bring a personal and professional appreciation for cross-cultural experiences and the unique pressures of navigating identity, belonging, and community expectations. Having grown up as a missionary kid in East Asia and worked extensively with missionaries and international workers, I understand what it means to live between worlds. Some of the areas I most commonly support clients through include social anxiety, self-esteem, communication and boundary-setting, substance use challenges, and learning to release what's outside your control. If you're in a season of asking "Who am I, and what do I actually want?" — that's some of my favorite work. I believe healing happens in relationship, and I'm committed to walking alongside you with consistency, honesty, and care. Let's explore what's possible together.
