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!

Hello, Thank you for looking into Betterhelp. If you are here, you might be feeling overwhelmed by life's current challenges. Well, you are not alone. Life can throw all of us curve balls from time to time. However, with courage, patience, and the right mindset and tools, I know change is possible and you can reveal your best self going forward. I have a Masters degree in Clinical Psychology and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor from Texas. I have over 23 years of experience as a counselor primarily working with a diverse range of non-traditional college students dealing with stress, anxiety, procrastination, family/relationship issues, and career related concerns. Over the years of working in a college setting, I have come to appreciate the concerns that people have when embarking on something new, challenging, uncertain, and ambiguous. Do I belong here? Am I too old to go back to school? Am I too old to pursue this career? What if I fail? These are only a few of the many questions driven by fear and uncertainty that I hear. Another population of interest is working with early and mid-career professionals struggling with career related issues such as work stress, change, purpose, and leadership issues and work/life balance. Some of my modalities of therapy include a mixture of cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing. Together, we will explore multiple visions of of the future and strategies to get there. We will explore your strengths, values, interests and how your behavior supports and aligns with each of these. Moreover, my style of counseling will always put you in the drivers seat in taking ownership and being ready to enact positive change. Finally, as a firm believer in life long learning, my hope for you is that you will come to understand that your current predicament is just another temporary setback and or opportunity for growth and change in your journey toward finding greater purpose, happiness and wellbeing.

It is an honor and privilege for a client to trust me . I am good listener and might even throw in some humor, as appropriate. I believe that everyone is entitled to be treated with dignity and respect and the relationship the client and therapist have is of utmost importance. I hold a Master of Science degree from the University of Texas at Arlington. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Texas and in Mississippi.
