What I treat · Parenting support · Green Bay
Therapy for parents in Green Bay, Wisconsin.
Therapy for Green Bay parents, with Wisconsin-licensed Amber Miller, MSed., LPC, a former K-12 teacher of more than ten years. Telehealth statewide, in-person at the Superior office. Most insurance accepted, including BadgerCare and Medicaid.
Green Bay's therapy market has been growing but still leans on a handful of larger practices for most adult work. UW-Green Bay students and St. Norbert students in De Pere are common telehealth clients; the De Pere campuses and downtown are equally easy to serve remotely. Northeast Wisconsin Technical College students are part of the regular caseload. Sessions from Allouez, Ashwaubenon, and Howard work the same way they do from downtown.
What Parenting support therapy looks like
Before I was a therapist I spent more than ten years teaching in K-12 schools, which means I have spent a lot of hours with kids and a lot of hours with parents of kids. The parents I work with now are not in crisis. They are tired, often quietly resentful, sometimes scared they are doing it wrong, and they want a room where they can be honest about all of that without judgment.
Parenting therapy with me is individual therapy for the parent. We can talk about strategies. We can also talk about what your kid is bringing up in you about your own childhood. Both turn out to matter.
Common topics
What I hear most often:
- Anger at your kid that you do not feel okay saying out loud
- Resentment toward a parenting partner whose load is not the same as yours
- Fear that you are repeating something that was done to you
- Burnout from school-age caregiving, especially with an ADHD or anxious kid
- Adjusting to a new stage (toddler, school-age, teen, young adult, empty nest)
- Coparenting after separation
How sessions work for Green Bay clients
Green Bay 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 Green Bay
Green Bay and the surrounding area is home to UW-Green Bay and NWTC. 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 Green Bay
Wisconsin BadgerCare, Medicaid, Medicare, and most major commercial insurance in Green Bay 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.
