Trauma and PTSD therapists & psychiatrists in Overland Park, KS

For 30 years, I've worked inside schools alongside children and adolescents — as a social worker, an advocate, and someone who genuinely understands how young people think, struggle, and grow. I know what anxiety looks like in a middle schooler. I know how ADHD shows up in a classroom. And I know that the kids and families who need support deserve to get it without spending years trying to find relief.

I'm a Licensed Specialist Clinical Social Worker — a credential I earned in November 2025, after raising two kids of my own while completing every requirement along the way. It took longer than I planned. I wouldn't change it. That experience shapes how I show up for every client.

I hold a Master's in Social Work from the University of Kansas and work as both a school social worker and a therapist, giving me a perspective on young people and families that's grounded in their real, daily lives.

My name is Virgil Miller SR. I am a Masters’ Level Licensed Clinical Marriage and Family Therapist with experience treating clients from a broad spectrum of society in a wide range of situations and circumstances from a children’s psychiatric hospital to a maximum security state prison. Much of my experience is in assessment and referral for appropriate treatments as well as providing treatment using a variety of trauma-informed techniques.

Many people don’t understand that Marriage and Family Therapy is not limited to problems in living that affect families and relationships, but is a form of therapy that sees individuals as members of larger psychosocial environments that mutually influence one another for better or worse. Anger, fear, and sadness as well as vivid thoughts and feelings that are not readily apparent to others all can be made better with the right approach to treatment. The father of intelligence testing, Jean Piaget, defined intelligence as the ability to thrive in one’s environment. To help clients regain the piece that allows them to thrive in their environment is my goal
