ABOUT
ME
Compassionate Care for Lasting Change
My name is Allie Miller, and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and the founder of Verdin Counseling, LLC. I provide individual and family psychotherapy through a focused, evidence-based approach, with over ten years of experience in the behavioral health field. My clinical work has centered on supporting individuals and couples navigating addiction, anxiety disorders, mood disorders, and relational challenges.
I approach therapy with the belief that meaningful change occurs when clients feel both supported and equipped. My work balances insight with practical skill development, creating a therapeutic space that is intentional, collaborative, and grounded in respect for each client’s autonomy.
