Marty Miller, LPC

Thank you for taking a few moments to become more familiar with myself and the Healing Heart Counseling Center. You have made a wise choice to seek consultation for the struggle that you are facing.  Many have benefitted from counseling and found hope, help, and healing.  An objective third party and experienced professional can provide insights and resources that make life’s problems more manageable.

I am the Executive Director of the Healing Heart Counseling Center, which I and several community leaders founded in 1998.  We are a Christ-centered, Biblically-based counseling center. 

While I was trained in clinical psychology, I believe the Bible is the greatest psychology book ever written.  My specialty areas since 1990 have been integrating Christianity and counseling, treating depression and anxiety, marital counseling, anger management, co-dependency, pornography and sexual addiction, attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), parenting, and child and adolescent issues.  

I have worked with clients of all ages, from preschool to senior adults, in both outpatient counseling and inpatient hospital settings.  In addition, I am trained in EMDR, a powerful type of therapy designed to heal painful memories and trauma. 

I have an extensive history in counseling and psychological assessment while in private clinical psychology and counseling practices.  I have also developed and facilitated many therapy and teaching groups.  I am also certified by the board to provide psychological testing.

I have consulted with numerous physicians, pastors, psychologists, attorneys, churches, and private and state agencies in the Ark-La-Tex region since 1990, and have received numerous endorsements and recognition for my work. 

I have been featured twice on Down Home Religion on Channel 3 News in Shreveport, and I’ve been an expert consultant for KSLA Channel 12 NewsKTAL Channel 6 News, and KMSS Fox News.  I’ve co-hosted numerous cable television and Christian radio talk shows and written and consulted for various magazines and the Shreveport Times newspaper. 

Additionally, I was the program therapist for RAPHA Shreveport.  RAPHA is a national inpatient Christian counseling program.  I have also served as an Adjunct Faculty member at the New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary extension center in Shreveport, Louisiana.  My hobbies and interests include fishing, mountain biking, and martial arts.  

Please do not hesitate to call if you have any questions. Our office phone number is (318) 222-6800. We will be glad to assist you. Thank you in advance for considering us.  Our commitment to you is to provide the highest quality professional counseling services available.
