time for your life changing moment
your therapist
Miranda Piehler, MA, LPCC, LADC
my
personal life
I live in the north suburbs of the Twin Cities, with my husband and toddler. In my free time, I enjoy travelling and learning about the history of different cities and countries, trying new restaurants, going on walks, getting in the sunshine, attending concerts, and catching up with friends and family. It is humbling and honoring to be invited into this role as your counselor and to support you the ways that are meaningful for you. I am excited to begin this journey with you and I look forward to meeting you!
my background
My undergraduate degree was in Psychology from Bethel University, where I also received my Drug and Addiction Counseling Certificate. I have been a Licensed Alcohol and Drug Counselor for over five years. I received my master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at Bethel University in 2022 and became licensed as a Professional Clinical Counselor in November 2024. I have experience working with teens, college students, and adults in a variety of settings, including in a therapy clinic (CARE Counseling), residential and intensive outpatient treatment and the intakes department (MN Adult & Teen Challenge), and a college therapeutic service department (North Central University).
my specializations
I seek to provide support through a compassion-based, holistic approach that includes all areas of wellbeing, as I see the value of finding balance within our physical, emotional, intellectual, social, occupational, spiritual, environmental, and financial areas of life, as they apply to you.
I enjoy working with adults who have experienced or are experiencing grief and loss, trauma, substance use, anxiety, depression, stress management, parenting concerns and communication, personal relationships, family relationships, health and wellbeing, disordered eating, challenges with self-compassion and/or spiritual beliefs, and life transitions.
My therapeutic work is guided by cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), person-centered approaches, motivational interviewing, existential/logotherapy, and family systems. Together, we can build skills to cope with stressors, find new perspectives with unhelpful thinking patterns, build distress tolerance, make meaning in experiences, set personal goals, improve relationships, and increase emotional and body awareness.
