Monica Miller

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor who specializes in helping individuals of all ages struggling with anxiety, grief/loss, relationship issues, eating disorders, parenting, and life transitions. My professional approach is attachment-based, trauma-informed, and collaborative—but my personal style is real and relational.

I believe that your needs are unique and the foundation of all counseling work is a strong therapeutic relationship; and therefore, our work together will be tailored to your needs – therapy is not one size fits all. I would be honored to join you on your journey towards healing, growth, and greater life satisfaction.

I earned my Bachelor’s degree in Psychology with a minor in Political Science from Southern Methodist University in Dallas, TX. During my undergraduate studies, I served as a research assistant where I studied the impact of chronic pain on emotional affect.

After graduating, I worked in the medical field for several years before making the decision to return to SMU where I earned a Master’s degree in Counseling. I received additional training in play therapy, adolescent counseling, parenting education, and group counseling. I obtained my practicum and internship hours at the SMU Center For Family Counseling where I met with clients of all ages who presented with anxiety, depression, and trauma. In addition to my sessions with clients, I led counseling groups at the Non-Pareil Institute where I had the privilege of working with individuals on the Autism Spectrum. I also have extensive experience working with individuals struggling with body dysmorphia and disordered eating patterns.
