What I treat · Grief & loss · Superior
Grief counseling for Superior, Wisconsin, by telehealth or in person.
Grief and loss counseling for Superior residents, with Wisconsin-licensed Amber Miller, MSed., LPC. Telehealth statewide, in-person at the Superior office. Most insurance accepted, including BadgerCare and Medicaid.
Superior is Amber's home base. Her in-person office is on Tower Avenue, a short drive from Belknap and Tower or from anywhere on the Wisconsin side of the bridge. Most Superior clients prefer telehealth from home or work in winter and in-person in the warmer months; we will pick what fits. If you are a UW-Superior student, the office is in town and we can meet either way. Most Twin Ports clients book a regular weekday morning or early-afternoon slot.
What Grief & loss therapy looks like
Grief work in my practice covers the obvious losses, like the death of a parent, a spouse, a child, a friend, and the less obvious ones (divorce, a friendship that ended, a body that has changed, a future that turned out not to be available). The form of the loss matters less than the fact of it.
There is no normal timeline. The phases people tell you about (denial, anger, bargaining, depression, acceptance) come and go and come back. The work is not to finish grieving. The work is to find a way to keep living alongside it.
How we work on it
Most grief sessions are slower than other kinds of therapy. We talk. I do not fill silence. We name what is here. Person-centered work is the spine; other tools come in where they are useful.
Grief is the price of having loved something. The work is not to lower the price.
How sessions work for Superior clients
Superior is right at the office. We can meet in-person at 3712 Tower Ave, Suite C, by telehealth from home or work, or some mix of both. Many local clients prefer in-person for the first session and switch to telehealth for the regular cadence.
If you are at a college in or near Superior
Superior and the surrounding area is home to UW-Superior and Northwood Tech. I see students from each, regardless of which campus you are on. Telehealth from a dorm or apartment works the same way it works from home. Sessions are confidential. The full angle on student work is on the college student page.
Insurance and cost in Superior
Wisconsin BadgerCare, Medicaid, Medicare, and most major commercial insurance in Superior are in-network. Out-of-pocket is $125 per 50 minutes session. Full detail on the insurance and fees 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.
