About
As one who has experienced mental health and substance abuse issues, I have an authentic understanding of the impact that improving mental health can provide the tools necessary for recovery.
I'm Tamara Miller, a licensed clinical social worker in Texas and Utah with a master's degree in social work focused on addiction and recovery. I work with individuals experiencing co-occurring substance use and mental health challenges, helping them navigate recovery, maintain sobriety, and build healthier, more stable lives. My approach is compassionate, client-centered, and grounded in supporting lasting change.
I use evidence-based approaches including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), along with strategies that promote positive mindset shifts, helping clients build healthier thought patterns, develop coping skills, and support meaningful growth and healing.
You don't have to navigate this alone. I'm here to support you with care, understanding, and respect every step of the way. If you're ready to move toward a healthier, more balanced life, I invite you to reach out and schedule an appointment when you feel ready.

I believe real change begins when you feel truly seen and supported, so I meet you with empathy, honesty, and practical tools to help you move forward.
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with over 8 years of experience in the mental health field, including 4 years as an LPC Associate and 4 years as a fully licensed clinician. My background includes work in schools, inpatient and outpatient settings, and telehealth, which has given me the opportunity to support individuals and families through a wide range of challenges. I believe real change begins when you feel truly seen and supported, so I meet you with empathy, honesty, and practical tools to help you move forward.
I work with adolescents and adults navigating anxiety, depression, emotional overwhelm, relationship difficulties, and life transitions. Many clients come to counseling feeling overstimulated, or unsure how to cope—looking for practical tools, clarity, and a sense of control. Others may be working through past trauma or patterns impacting their daily lives.
Whether you're seeking relief from immediate stressors or looking for deeper understanding and long-term growth, I strive to create a supportive space where you feel heard, understood, and empowered to move forward.

After over 2 decades of providing counseling support, I maintain the same goal I started my career with – making sure everyone has a chance to be heard, validated, and engage in a meaningful clinical conversation in order to find solutions to their distress.

Couples therapy and marriage counseling, also known as relationship counseling, helps couples work through their specific relationship issues. Some examples of common focuses within couples therapy and marriage counseling include:
The types of therapy used in couples and marriage counseling include:
At Thriveworks, Couples/marriage therapy is led by licensed professionals — often licensed marriage and family therapists (LMFTs) — who are experts in their field and best-equipped to help couples.
The Gottman Method of couples therapy is a research-supported approach designed to enhance relationships by bolstering the bond between partners, resolving conflicts, and fostering shared meaning in their relationship through comprehensive assessments and tailored interventions that improve communication, trust, and the overall health of the partnership.
If you’re facing persistent relationship problems, communication breakdowns, or unresolved conflicts that are impacting your emotional well-being and happiness, Couples/marriage therapy may be beneficial for you.
While marriage and couple’s counseling is typically recommended for couples who are experiencing persistent or severe relationship issues, any relationship can benefit from attending these sessions.
Marriage and couples counseling at Thriveworks is conducted both in person and online by video. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you and your partner.
On average, couples attend marriage and couples counseling for 12 weeks. However, couples & marriage counseling may last longer or shorter, dependent on the couples’ needs, the challenges they’d like to work through, and the pace of their progress.
At Thriveworks, we accept most major insurance plans, allowing many clients to pay as little as $0–$50 per session with their co-pay. We also offer self-pay options for those out-of-network or without insurance. Self-pay rates for talk therapy range from $160 to $240 for intake sessions and $135 to $195 for follow-ups, depending on your state. For psychiatry services, self-pay intake sessions are $255–$375, with follow-ups ranging from $175–$300, also varying by state. More information on current self-pay costs is available on our pricing page.
Whether we like it or not, romantic relationships aren’t always a walk in the park. And sometimes, partners need support and assistance to find solid ground again after things have veered off course.
