Anxiety and depression therapists and psychiatrists in Waco, TX

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

Open to working with adolescents 13 years and older.

As a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, I provide compassionate, evidence-based care tailored to each individual’s unique needs. I believe in holistic treatment that addresses both the mind and body, and I’m committed to creating a safe, nonjudgmental space where clients feel heard and supported.

You should know:

• I listen first. Your story and your experience matter most.
• Collaboration is key. We’ll work together to find the right treatment plan—whether that includes medication, therapy referrals, lifestyle adjustments, or all of the above.
• I respect your pace. Healing is not a race. I'm here for you, whether you're taking small steps or big ones.
• Your identity matters. I provide inclusive care for people of all backgrounds, genders, and neurodiverse identities.

Above all, I want you to feel empowered in your mental health journey.

Life is a Journey. On this Journey we're faced with many twists & turns. My practice style is collaborative in nature. It focuses on joint commitment to change. Yet eclectic enough to incorporate different approaches that will help clients as they write and re-write their stories to transform their reality. Whether you are looking to address LGBTQ issues, individual therapy, family or couples therapy, intimate partner violence, sexual abuse, addictions, depression or other mental health issues.

I believe everyone needs help from time to time.

I specialize in evening and weekend appointments. Later appointments are available, please request your needs.
