I spent more than a decade in classrooms before I sat in this chair.

I am Amber Miller, a Licensed Professional Counselor based in Superior, Wisconsin. I finished my Master's in Clinical Counseling, University of Wisconsin-Superior, 2023 and was licensed as an LPC in Wisconsin in December 2025 by the Wisconsin Department of Safety and Professional Services; my license number is 12237-125. I currently see clients through Soar Services, Inc., from an office on Tower Avenue in Superior and by telehealth anywhere in Wisconsin. I am a member of the American Counseling Association.

Education first, then counseling

I started in education. My Bachelor's is in elementary education, with a minor in early childhood and Spanish, and I went on to complete my Montessori certification after that. For more than ten years I worked in northern Wisconsin schools, mostly with students whose lives outside the classroom were not simple. I loved it.

Counseling became the next step rather than a reset. The clinical work pulls forward what years of teaching showed me about how people change:

• The slowest part of any change is the part where the person stops believing the story they were told about themselves.
• Showing up consistently every week, when steady attention has been hard to come by, is itself a form of treatment.
• The body keeps a quieter record than the mouth does.

Most of why the work I do is conversation-shaped rather than worksheet-shaped is sitting in those three lines.

The clinical training

I completed my Master's in Clinical Counseling at the University of Wisconsin-Superior in 2023, then spent the next two years in supervised clinical practice toward Wisconsin licensure, which was issued in December 2025. My primary orientation is person-centered and existential, focused on the whole of someone's experience rather than a symptom checklist. Inside that frame I draw on CBT, DBT, solution-focused, narrative, and family-systems interventions, matching the tool to the person in front of me rather than running everyone through the same protocol.

Most of my work is talk therapy, paced slowly enough that what you say has room to land. We talk about what came up since the last session, we notice patterns, and we sometimes try a small experiment between sessions. Not homework. Small experiments.

I think of every person I see as the expert on their own life. My job is to listen for the parts they have stopped being able to hear themselves, and to be a steady second voice while they catch back up.

Who I see

College students and adults. I work statewide in Wisconsin by telehealth, and in person at the Superior office for clients in the Twin Ports area including Duluth-side Minnesota clients who can drive across the bridge. I am currently accepting new clients.

The full list of what I treat is on the specialties page. The shorter version is: I work with anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma, grief, life transitions, relationship and family stress, and the topics that tend to overlap with those.

What I do not do

I do not prescribe medication. I am not trained in EMDR. I do not take court-ordered cases or do batterer's intervention. My practice is built around college-age and adult clients; for children and teens I'm happy to refer to a clinician whose practice is built around that age range.

How to start

Text, call, or use the contact form. From there you can either request a free 15 minutes consult to see if we are a fit, or book the first session directly. Both paths are fine; many clients prefer to skip the consult and start with the intake session, but the consult is there if you want it.
