Carol Miles, MSW, LCSW

Carol Miles, MSW, LCSW is a clinical social work specializing in trauma. Carol is a certified Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR) therapist, an EMDRIA Approved Consultant, and an EMDRIA Approved Basic Trainer.

With over 30 years experience as a clinician, and a graduate of LSU School of Social Work specializing in clinical social work, she currently maintains a private practice in both Covington and New Orleans, LA while also using her extensive experience to teach and train other practitioners. In 2020, she moved her practice and trainings online using HIPAA compliant video conferencing.

Among her areas of expertise are working with clients who have eating disorders and trauma. Carol often presents at state wide conferences and to general audiences on topics ranging from EMDR, eating disorders, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy Skills Training (DBT Skills), and developing a private practice.

Carol’s innovative approach is shifting the traditional model of weekly psychotherapy to meet your needs. Using her decades of experience and research-backed EMDR approach, Carol will support you during times that you need help the most. If traditional weekly sessions don’t work for you, Carol’s EMDR Intensive approach offers the flexibility you need.
Carol is a practical, interactive, solution-focused therapist. Her treatment approach is to provide support and practical feedback to help clients resolve current problems and long-standing patterns. She draws upon a variety of styles and techniques to incorporate what will be most helpful for you. With sensitivity and compassion, she works with you to help you build on your strengths to identify and achieve in your life goals. Often the past can effect the present and her expertise in EMDR Therapy (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) helps the client to achieve a new adaptive way of feeling, acting and being in their world today.


As a past Board President of EMDRIA (2019-2020) and the co-founder of the EMDR Regional Meetings in Southeast Louisiana, Carol has brought a higher level of expertise to the region’s ability to effectively address trauma through networking and presentations. Her Three Rivers Training Center also brings nationally known EMDR Advanced Trainers to Louisiana to present on the intense work associated with addressing anger, dissociation, attachment issues, and other mental health concerns. These trainers help to develop the skills of the therapists in our community and throughout this this region. As an EMDRIA Approved Basic Trainer, Carol works with LSU School of Public Health Center for Evidence to Practice to teach Medicaid therapists in Louisiana and her own Three Rivers Traing Center to educate other mental health professionals about this exciting, efficient, and effective type of psychotherapy.
