What I treat · Parenting support · Greenfield
Therapy for parents in Greenfield, Wisconsin.
Therapy for Greenfield 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.
Greenfield sits in the south-central Milwaukee metro in Milwaukee County. Local clients are often Aurora Health Care or Froedtert staff; telehealth from home works fine over the lunch hour.
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 Greenfield clients
Greenfield 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 Greenfield
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.
Insurance and cost in Greenfield
Wisconsin BadgerCare, Medicaid, Medicare, and most major commercial insurance in Greenfield 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.
