Bruce Miller, LCSW — Therapist in Missouri

Hi there, I'm Bruce!

I'm open to helping all clients with all problems, issues, and temperaments. I prioritize engaging and building rapport through listening, reflecting, and understanding a person's issues. From there we collaborate in exploring and identifying the problems creating stress, anxiety, sadness, and other emotions.

My focus

Based on my experience, I have found that my approach and style are a good fit for children, preteens, teens, adults, and older adults.

My approach

I utilized person-centered therapy in combination with solution-focused, Adlerian. motivational therapy and cognitive processing therapy.

My communication style

Reframing, reflecting, asking open-ended questions, clarifying, eliciting feedback, and gaining insight. Exploring the concept of goals and seeking positive change. Solution focus: Getting clients to understand that they may have more control by exploring exceptions to the problems

My journey to mental healthcare

I entered this field to support people through life's challenges and help them discover their strengths. I believe everyone has the capacity for growth and positive change when given the right support and tools.

My goals for you

We have a collaborative conversation about change, exploring your personal motivation and any ambivalence. Goals are written to honor your autonomy and self-determination. We break down broad, long-term goals into smaller, achievable steps.

Our first session

In our first session, we'll focus on building rapport and understanding what brings you to therapy. I'll listen to your story, explore your concerns, and begin identifying goals that matter to you.
