Dr. Samuel G. Miller, Jr. LMHC, NCC My approach to therapy is supportive, uncovering, directive, and corrective. My methods are both educational and interpersonal. In the beginning I will ask you to tell me about yourself- why you are here, and what you are hoping for. As I listen to your story, you and I both learn more about how you would like your life to be different, or where you feel stuck, or how fear may be preventing you from being effective and joyful in your work or personal life. By claiming and building upon your strengths you will learn to replace self-defeating thought and behavior habits with success-oriented attitudes and actions. Once we have identified what is bothering you and what you can do about it, I will assist you in setting definite, measurable, and achievable goals for yourself. I will also provide you with the information, direction, guidance and encouragement that will help you to reach your goals. As your therapist, I will support you in facing your fears and overcoming them. I will also support you in learning what changes you need to make and in learning how to change what you can, and to accept, as the “Serenity Prayer” says, what you cannot change. Throughout the therapy process I will also work with you to uncover hidden, buried, or avoided feelings or issues that you may need to face in order to get on happily with your life. My three offices, all located in Church-related settings, are hospitable, comfortable, and confidential. The first 2-3 sessions are devoted to assessment, goal setting, and developing a therapeutic contract for change. As an experienced Pastoral Counselor as well as Licensed Mental Health Counselor, I will respect your worldview and encourage you to incorporate any spiritual interests you may have into our work together. The scope of my practice encompasses treatment for depression, anxiety, relationship and marital issues, parenting and family issues, anger management, and spiritual crises.
