About Sue Miley

I have combined what I know about counseling and psychology with what I have learned about walking with God. I believe in the healing power of a relationship with Jesus Christ and that He is the foundation of the learning and interventions available in the world of psychology.

My areas of focus are marriage counseling, individual counseling, life coaching, and career coaching.
