Book a therapist or psychiatrist in Denver, CO covered by United Healthcare

Hi, I enjoy working with people who are ready to do the work within themselves. Just like gps you say the destination and we'll be on our way.

Hello! I'm Michelle Miller and I've been practicing therapy as a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) for over 15 years. I recognize how challenging it can be to step into the process of healing and change. I strive to make the therapy process feel approachable and safe.

I am a doctoral-level Licensed Couple and Family therapist in Colorado. I speak English, Mandarin, and Cantonese. I provide therapy for individuals, couples, and families. If you are experiencing any mental health concerns or relational distress, I am here to help you and your loved one(s). I provide affirmative care for LGBTQ+ and ethnic/racial minority clients. I believe that our quality of life depends on the quality of our relationships.

I started my career working with adolescents that were pregnant and parenting in high school. This opened the door to my various experiences working with young, growing adults and families. In the heart of St. Louis, MO, as a school-based therapist, I gained further knowledge of the racial and poverty challenges taking place in our communities. Fast forward three years and becoming a social worker in Colorado, I managed a variety of cases involving children and adolescents experiencing trauma, parental abuse and neglect, couples counseling and mediation, and managing chaotic situations. In this time, not only did it allow me to gain experience in the child welfare and court systems, it reminded me of my true passion and brought me back to my primary focus. I am happy to be back on track with my passion in therapy and helping adolescents, families, and couples in their time of crisis or distress.

If you've spent years reading the room before you read yourself, you're not alone. Maybe you learned early to keep the peace, smooth things over, or say "I'm fine" long after you stopped meaning it. That habit may have kept you safe once. Now it might be why you feel exhausted, unseen, or unsure of what you actually want.

I work with people who are used to shrinking themselves to stay agreeable — at work, at home, in relationships — and who are ready to find out what it feels like to take up space instead. I also work with anxiety, perfectionism, self-doubt, grief, and major life transitions.

I specialize in working with clients who are experiencing or have experienced depression, anxiety, anger, grief/loss, relationship conflicts, addictions, gender/identity concerns, lack of motivation, abuse and trauma, life transitions and men’s mental health concerns. In addition, I have worked closely with the LGBTQ+ population. Prior to working in the private practice setting, I have 14 years of experience as a teacher and counselor in the public schools of New Jersey, Texas and Colorado.

I like to collaborate with my clients to find care that meets their needs and where they hope to be in the future. We are continually re-evaluating and ensuring that we are moving in the right direction for growth

Therapy with Lived Wisdom

With over 20 years of experience walking alongside individuals on their healing journeys, I bring more than clinical knowledge—I bring lived understanding. My work is rooted in the mind-body connection, because true healing doesn’t just happen in the mind. It happens in the nervous system, in the body, and in the deeper layers of the self.

Choosing a therapist is a sacred step. If you’re wondering how to choose, I invite you to ask: “Do they do their own work? Have they sat in the depths they’ll be guiding me through?”

I have. I’ve lived the unraveling. I’ve done the deep inner work. And I’ve found my way through.

Now, I offer a steady, compassionate presence to help you find yours. You don’t have to do this alone.

Let me walk with you.
