Hi!
I’m Faryn Miller, a Licensed Professional Counselor and Certified School Counselor. I have been working with children, teens, and families since for over a decade, with a background that spans education, school counseling, and clinical mental health.
I began my career in education, working as a substitute teacher, classroom teacher, and school counselor with experience across all grade levels, Kindergarten through 12th grade. In August 2021, I expanded into private practice part-time and transitioned into full-time private practice in June 2023. Today, I work with children, teens, adults, and families navigating a wide range of emotional, behavioral, relational, and life challenges.
Having experience in both schools and private practice gives me a unique perspective. I understand that what we are going through emotionally doesn’t exist in a bubble; it can impact home, school, work, relationships, parenting, and the way we see ourselves. I also know that different ages and stages of life call for different kinds of support.
I graduated from Texas A&M University–College Station with a Bachelor of Science in Psychology and earned my Master of Education in Guidance and Counseling from Angelo State University. I went on to complete the additional coursework, National Counselor Examination, and 3,000 hours of supervised clinical experience required to become fully licensed as a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Texas. I am also a member of the Texas Counseling Association.
At the heart of my approach is the belief that people grow best when they feel safe, seen, heard, and accepted. Therapy doesn’t have to feel overly clinical or intimidating. My style is warm, empathetic, relaxed, and non-judgmental, with a strong client-centered foundation.
I use an eclectic approach because no two people are the same, and therapy shouldn’t look exactly the same for everyone either. Depending on the person and their needs, I may incorporate conversation, reflection, skill-building, and the therapeutic elements of sand, art, and play. With younger clients, this often means recognizing that children don’t always have the words to explain what they are experiencing. Sometimes play, creativity, and connection can communicate what words cannot. With teens and adults, the tools may look different, but the foundation remains the same, creating a space where you can show up as yourself.
Ultimately, my job is to meet you where you are and tailor the counseling experience to your individual needs. Together, we can better understand what’s going on beneath the surface, build new skills and perspectives, and work toward meaningful growth and a life that feels more connected to who you are and where you want to go.
