Oftentimes, reaching out for help is a big step towards wellness and healing. Congratulations on taking that step! My name is LaDonna Miller and I am a clinical social worker in Chicago, Illinois. I have over 9 years working in the mental health field and would love to work alongside you to accomplish your goals!

My overarching goal for any of my clients is to have an improved life, in whatever area that they are seeking to manage and improve.

I am a passionate and empathetic therapist with strong counseling abilities and an understanding of interpersonal familial relationships. I have experience leading clients through their struggles with interpersonal issues, anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Through clinical experience, compassion, and empathy I support and assist those willing to make a positive difference in their lives.

In some ways, the decision you’re about to make is the hardest part of this process. Choosing the right therapist and “type of therapy” can be confusing. That’s why I’d like to explain a little about my training and my approach to make your choice a little easier. My training taught me that by knowing what to listen for, I can connect your symptoms to your past life experiences. Once we start to do that, I will help you identify the reasons those experiences were hard to resolve. When something is hard to resolve, we tend to avoid it, which is why our mind then tells us that something still feels unresolved by producing symptoms.

I am licensed in the state of Illinois and accepting new clients via telehealth or in person. I am able to see clients in Orland, Batavia, Naperville, Oswego, Yorkville, Plano.

I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor, specializing in relationships, personal healing and trauma. I create safe caring spaces where we can join together while facing difficulties. Counseling with me is affirming and interactive. You will learn to identify and release problematic beliefs and behaviors, that have become barriers to your wellbeing. You will gain new perspectives and acceptance to help you heal, while discovering insights to the power and strength within you.

Establishing trust is essential for counseling and building a therapeutic relationship. At times during the building of this relationship, you may come to feel the most vulnerable. It will be at those times; you will have my undivided attention. Therapy allows individuals the ability to process through unexpected life circumstances as well as troubling event occurrence. At present, all appointments will be virtual. My office location has handicapped accessibility and I offer late evening as well as weekend availability for appointments.

Fuller Counseling was founded with the mission of creating a space that is comfortable, warm, compassionate, and free of judgment. We aim to work with individuals (adolescents and adults), couples and families to challenge negative beliefs, patterns, maladaptive coping skills, along with other difficult cycles that may have appeared throughout the course of life. We work with clients to create goals and treatment plans that will lead to healthier ways of living and utilize productive coping mechanisms. We empower our clients to make changes and gain insight that will stop old patterns and increase self-awareness and confidence.

In the often-painful experience of symptoms, something speaks through the body that is hard to put into words. Dreams, slips of the tongue, and everyday accidents can point to the experience of something working in us that we do not know. In listening to you, I pay close attention to the unconscious which appears in these and other coded signs in our bodies, our speech, and our dreams, but only you can tell me about what these signs mean to you and how they relate to your history and experience.

I view therapy as a rare opportunity to nurture your inner world and be truly "seen" by another person. When you confront your pain, and hear your own voice in a space free from ridicule and shame, you can begin speaking to and treating yourself with compassion and curiosity. I draw upon Psychodynamic, Existential, and Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) to support you in attuning to your needs, boundaries, and strengths. My approach with family members impacted by addiction is based in Community Reinforcement and Family Therapy (CRAFT).
