What I treat · Family conflict · Marshfield
Family therapy for Marshfield, Wisconsin, by telehealth or in person.
Family therapy for Marshfield families, with Wisconsin-licensed Amber Miller, MSed., LPC. Telehealth statewide, in-person at the Superior office. Most insurance accepted, including BadgerCare and Medicaid.
Marshfield sits in Wood County in central Wisconsin and is home to the Marshfield Clinic Health System. Local clients often work at the clinic or its affiliated employers.
What Family conflict therapy looks like
Family work in my practice is usually one of three shapes. An adult child and one or both parents trying to reset a relationship that drifted off course. A blended family adjusting to a new configuration, often with adult or college-age stepchildren. The pattern between adult siblings, or between a spouse and the in-laws, that has stopped being workable. We can do any of these, and we will figure out at the consult who comes to the first session.
Family therapy is not the same as individual therapy and it asks different things of the people in the room. Everyone has to be willing to be in the conversation at least a little. I will help with that. Nobody is going to be put on trial in my office, and nobody is going to be told who is the problem.
How we work on it
Most family sessions are everyone in the room, sometimes alternating with individual sessions for one or more members where it would help. We slow conversations down. We name the patterns. We try out a new way of talking inside the room before you take it out into the kitchen at home.
The goal is not to figure out who is right. The goal is to figure out what would actually help.
How sessions work for Marshfield clients
Marshfield is too far from the Superior office for regular in-person sessions, so this is a telehealth-only relationship. That works as well for this kind of work as in-person. We pick a regular weekly slot and keep it.
If you are at a college in or near Marshfield
I see a lot of college and grad students from across Wisconsin. Telehealth from a dorm or apartment works the same way it works from home. The academic-calendar piece tends to bring its own rhythm to anxiety, depression, and ADHD work; the full angle is on the college student page.

What to do next
If this read like something you recognize, the next step is to schedule the consultation or intake session. The free 15 minutes consult gives us both a sense of whether we would work well together before you book the first paid session. Text, call, or use the form, whichever is easiest.
