Wanda Serrano-Miller, LCSW

Wanda Serrano-Miller is a licensed clinical social worker with 40 years of psychotherapy experience in Connecticut. She offers a blend of traditional psychotherapy and holistic practices. Wanda invites people who are ready to address relationship strain, trauma, anxiety, or feelings of emptiness. She speaks English and Spanish and works with international clients as well.

Her approach brings emotional, physical, and spiritual elements into the room. She uses sitting mindfulness meditation and breath work to help people tune into their deeper feelings. These exercises are taught step by step and used alongside talk therapy. Wanda emphasizes learning simple practices that can reduce anxiety and build confidence.

Sessions focus on practical changes people can use in daily life. That can mean tools for handling stress, coping with life transitions, or working through loneliness, jealousy, or intimacy concerns. Wanda also addresses longer standing family of origin patterns, grief around divorce or separation, and the effects of trauma and abuse.

Her work includes attention to aging and geriatric concerns, blended family dynamics, fatherhood issues, immigration-related stress, and recovery from addiction. She aims to help people regain a more peaceful, harmonious sense of self through breath, meditation, and reflective psychotherapy.

People who prefer a combined mind-body approach often find her style a good fit. Prospective clients should use the continue button on this profile to complete the short matching questionnaire and schedule a session according to availability.

Therapeutic approaches and online care that blend talk and breath

Wanda pairs evidence-based talk therapy with breath work and sitting mindfulness meditation. Breath work here means guided breathing exercises that aim to reduce acute tension and help a person feel calmer in the moment. These practices can be useful for anxiety, stress, and moments of intense emotion such as anger or jealousy.

Sitting mindfulness meditation involves short, guided exercises to notice thoughts and feelings without reacting. This approach helps people build awareness of recurring patterns like self-doubt, isolation, or rumination after relationship conflicts. It is taught in small steps and practiced between sessions.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Wanda will work together with each person to decide which combination of breath work, mindfulness, and talk therapy fits their goals and daily life. She adjusts techniques based on what feels helpful and practical for the client.

The original biography does not list specific session formats. Please confirm current online session options before booking so you know whether video, phone, or another format is available. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time while still using the same breath and mindfulness exercises taught in person.
