Faryn Miller

I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor and Certified School Counselor with over 10 years of experience working with children, teens, and families as both a teacher and school counselor across K–12 settings. That background gives me a unique understanding of how mental health, relationships, family dynamics, behavior, executive functioning, and school can all intersect.

Today, I work with children, teens, young adults, and adults. I especially enjoy supporting clients navigating anxiety, ADHD, emotional regulation, self-esteem, relationships, parenting, school or college challenges, and life transitions... from growing up and gaining independence to careers, relationships, marriage, and early family life.

I earned my Bachelor of Science in Psychology from Texas A&M University–College Station and my Master of Education in Guidance and Counseling from Angelo State University.

Outside of the credentials, I’m a real person in the therapy room. I value humor, authenticity, connection, and creating a space where you don’t feel like you have to say the “right” thing. My goal is for therapy to feel comfortable and human while still helping you do meaningful work.

My approach is warm, empathetic, relaxed, and nonjudgmental. At the foundation of my work is the belief that people grow when they feel genuinely safe, accepted, and understood. I meet you where you are, while also gently challenging you to better understand yourself, recognize patterns, build confidence, and discover that you can do hard things.

I use an eclectic, client-centered approach because therapy shouldn’t look exactly the same for everyone. Depending on the person and what they need, our work may include talking and processing, exploring thoughts and beliefs, building emotional regulation and coping skills, strengthening relationships, or using creative and experiential approaches.

With children and adolescents, I incorporate developmentally appropriate play, sand, art, movement, and other experiential interventions when helpful. I also value collaboration with parents and schools because children don’t exist in a vacuum; the environments and relationships around them matter.

Ultimately, I want therapy to be a place where you can understand yourself more deeply, feel more confident in who you are, and develop the tools to navigate both the difficult and exciting parts of life.

You don’t need to walk into your first session knowing exactly what to say, where to start, or even what you want to change. We’ll figure that out together.

You can expect a warm, relaxed, and welcoming environment where my first priority is getting to know you, not just a diagnosis or a list of symptoms. We’ll talk about what brought you in, what life looks like right now, what feels hard, what is already working, and what you hope might feel different.

I place a lot of value on connection and trust, so I don’t expect you to immediately dive into the hardest parts of your life. We’ll move at a pace that feels manageable while still working toward meaningful growth.

For children and teens, the first steps may look different and often include time with parents as well as opportunities for the child or teen to connect with me without feeling pressured to sit down and “talk about their feelings.”

Most importantly, therapy with me is collaborative. I’m not here to judge you or tell you how to live your life. I’m here to help you better understand yourself, navigate the hard things, recognize your strengths, and feel more confident moving forward.
