Virgil Miller

Therapist

Virtual • Kansas


I am a Master’s-level Licensed Clinical Marriage and Family Therapist with experience working with clients from diverse backgrounds across a wide range of settings, including a children’s psychiatric hospital and a maximum-security state prison. My work has focused on assessment, treatment planning, and connecting clients with the care that best fits their needs, while also providing therapy through a variety of trauma-informed approaches.

As a Marriage and Family Therapist, I view individuals within the context of the larger relationships, systems, and environments that shape their lives. I understand that challenges such as anger, fear, sadness, and overwhelming thoughts or emotions can deeply affect a person’s ability to function and feel at peace. My goal is to help clients better understand their experiences, build on their strengths, and regain the ability to thrive in their environment. I am open to working with adolescents ages 13 and older.
