Andrea H. Miller

I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor Supervisor (LCMHCS) and a Registered Play Therapist Supervisor (RPTS) with over 20 years of experience working with children, adults, and families. I have a special passion for working with preschool and elementary-aged children, ages 3-10, when feelings can be big, behavior can be confusing, and children often don't yet have the words to tell us what they are feeling. I have a special interest in supporting deep feeling kids who need extra support in navigating their world. Alongside working with children, I also have a special interest in supporting parents in the thick of parenthood.

I help children struggling with anxiety, big feelings, frequent meltdowns, separation difficulties, challenging behaviors, ADHD, sensory differences, and medical trauma. I work with parents who often ask “Is this typical for their age?” “How can I help my child when they are struggling?” You know your child best. I bring a playful, compassionate approach when working with families. 

I believe in getting underneath the behavior and supporting your child’s unique needs. I believe looking beyond the symptoms and understanding and connecting with children on a deeper level supports growth. 

As a Registered Play Therapist Supervisor, I have extensive training in using play therapy with children. My approach is grounded in an understanding of early childhood development and the nervous system. I am also a Certified Synergetic Play Therapist®. I primarily integrate child-centered and Synergetic Play Therapy®, an approach that uses play, relationship, and nervous-system regulation to help children process difficult experiences, understand their feelings, and improve emotional regulation. I also work collaboratively with parents throughout the play therapy process.

In addition to play therapy, I provide counseling for adults and couples. I am a Certified Perinatal Mental Health Therapist (PMH-C), supporting individuals and families through fertility challenges, pregnancy, postpartum adjustment, and early parenthood. I integrate trauma-informed approaches, including Internal Family Systems (IFS), and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR).

I am also a mother to teenage twin boys and bring lived experience—particularly with parents raising neurodivergent children.

I offer a free 15-minute consultation to help families determine whether I might be the right fit for you or your child.
