Do you finally want to address a substance abuse or other addiction problem? I have a vast amount of experience working with people and their families who suffer from a variety of addictions such as drug and alcohol abuse, sexual addiction, eating disorders, and compulsive gambling. I also see individuals, couples, and families for a variety of other issues such as depression, anxiety, and stress management. In a safe, supportive, confidential atmosphere, we can work together to address many of your life issues previously mentioned. I primarily work with adults but also see adolescents who present with alcohol and drug issues. I believe addiction to be primarily a disease of the brain, which means people suffering from them should always be treated with respect and care. I use Motivational Enhancement therapy with my clients which mean we are partners in the therapeutic process working toward a goal of life improvement and self-enjoyment.

I have worked for 15+ years serving child, adolescent and adult clients dealing with relationship issues, sexual abuse, addictions, trauma, eating disorders, depression, and anxiety. I use a combination of cognitive behavioral, psychodynamic, and expressive therapies to facilitate the personal growth process. I have many tools in my practice. Let's find what works for you! We all have struggles and challenges in life. We are on this journey together. When we begin looking at the places that challenge us, we can find tools for change. Change is possible. It takes tremendous courage to reach out. Honor yourself !

Hali Miller, RPh, has dedicated her career to advancing Psychiatric Health Services Louisiana, transforming traditional pharmacy practice into a vital hub for integrated mental health care. At the heart of her approach is the belief that medication management must be woven seamlessly into a broader continuum of support. Located in the heart of the state’s network of mental health facilities in Louisiana, her clinic serves as both a resource and a referral center—bridging gaps between psychiatrists, therapists, and community organizations to ensure every patient benefits from truly comprehensive mental health services. From the moment a new patient walks through the door, Hali’s process emphasizes personalized assessment. She collaborates closely with referring psychiatrists to review diagnostic histories, laboratory results, and previous medication trials. This thorough intake ensures that each prescription is chosen not only for its efficacy but also for its tolerability, cost, and alignment with the patient’s daily routine. Whether adjusting SSRI dosages for anxiety or optimizing mood stabilizers for bipolar disorder, Hali applies evidence‑based protocols to minimize side effects and maximize therapeutic benefit. A standout feature of her practice is the integration of a dedicated Mental Health Nurse in Bogalusa, a seasoned clinician whose role extends far beyond routine nursing tasks. This nurse conducts home‑based follow‑ups for rural patients, educates families on safety planning and emergency protocols, and coordinates care among multiple providers. By embedding nursing expertise directly into pharmacy services, Hali Miller ensures that medication adherence becomes a collaborative effort—supported by reminders, pill organizers, and digital adherence tools tailored to each individual’s lifestyle. Recognizing that modern mental health care must be accessible, Hali’s clinic pioneered telepsychiatry consultations for underserved parishes. Through secure video sessions, patients connect with psychiatric prescribers, behavioral therapists, and Hali herself for virtual medication reviews. This telehealth model addresses transportation barriers and offers timely interventions during symptom flare‑ups, truly embodying comprehensive mental health services that transcend geographic limitations. Beyond clinical interventions, Hali Miller is committed to education and community outreach. She hosts quarterly workshops at local mental health facilities in Louisiana, covering topics such as polypharmacy risks, managing medication during pregnancy, and understanding withdrawal phenomena. These sessions bring together families, primary care providers, and patients—fostering a collaborative network that extends the reach of Psychiatric Health Services Louisiana. To measure outcomes, Hali employs standardized rating scales, digital symptom trackers, and regular satisfaction surveys. Patients report a 40% reduction in emergency department visits for medication‑related issues and a 25% improvement in self‑reported quality of life after six months of guided therapy. These metrics are shared with partnering mental health clinics to refine care pathways and strengthen the statewide continuum of comprehensive mental health services. Importantly, Hali’s practice honors the cultural fabric of Louisiana. Materials are available in English, Spanish, and Vietnamese, and staff are trained in trauma‑informed care tailored to historically underserved populations. The integrated model—featuring psychiatrists, therapists, and the Mental Health Nurse in Bogalusa—creates a safety net that catches early warning signs of relapse and guides patients back toward stability.

You’ve already made the difficult decision to seek out help.  Let’s build on this positive decision together and get you the support you seek.    I want to promote your emotional, psychological, and relational health using methods I will tailor to your individual needs and circumstances without disregarding your right to self-determination.  I work with a variety of issues where I incorporate a variety of modalities including client-centered, psychodynamic, gestalt, mindfulness, and systems theory.   It is my goal to provide for you a safe and welcoming environment where you can express yourself openly and honestly, without fear of judgment or reproach. I enjoy working with individuals and couples who are struggling with stress from work or career issues, relationship issues, grief as a result of death or divorce, or have a history of abuse or trauma. These challenges often come along with depression, anxiety, panic, obsessional worries and loneliness. I also have experience in treating adolescents who are having problems with their academic performance, peer relations, or mental health including symptoms of cutting or self-harming behavior. I find working with the families (when appropriate) can also be effective in bringing about positive change. At the heart of good therapy is an open and honest relationship, where my task is to be mindful always of peoples choices. Together we will explore the negative beliefs, emotions and behaviors that have held you back and clear the emotional charge associated with them, so that you can begin to accept and love yourself and make healthy and life-enhancing choices moving forward.
