Welcome to the Team: Sheena Miller
June 17, 2025
Our team is excited to introduce Sheena Miller, the Mental Health Coordinator for Children’s Cove! Sheena joined our team at the end of May, who upon her start brought our team to 10 members, and fully staffed our Center. Sheena’s addition to our team allows us to more readily address the growing need for specialized clinical services in the region. Over the last year Children’s Cove has strategically shifted to being able to provide on-site clinical services. In addition to coordinating referrals with partner agencies, Sheena’s addition will allow us to meet the increased demand driven by rising referrals.
Following investigations of crimes against children, Children’s Cove team members most often coordinate referrals for community-based support services local to the child and their non-offending family. However, the need for specialized clinical care has outpaced the availability of behavioral health services throughout the region. Children and families often face waiting lists for months—or longer—to access the clinical services they need after trauma. There are more referrals for Problematic Sexual Behavior in children which need specific treatment modalities and family work. Ensuring access to evidence-based trauma informed practices is essential for effective care, and as child advocacy center, we must ensure the most vulnerable members of our community receive support sooner.
Sheena Miller joins Children’s Cove to address a range of behavioral health needs. For children with specialized or immediate clinical needs who access Children’s Cove services, Sheena will provide trauma-informed clinical care to support both the child and their family. For families without an immediate need—or for whom traveling to Children’s Cove presents a challenge—Sheena will assist in finding and coordinating appropriate clinical care closer to home.
Sheena holds a Master’s Degree in Clinical Social Work from the University of Georgia and has extensive experience in mental health and clinical social work roles in Florida. Her background includes working with children and families in outpatient, community-based, school-based, and intensive clinical settings. Having recently relocated to the region, Sheena sought to contribute to the community where the need is greatest.
We look forward to our community and behavioral health partners getting to know Sheena, and for the excellent work she will do with the children we serve. Welcome to the team!
