Kyra Miller

MA, Executive Director of Operations 

Hey there! I’m your Executive Director of Operations here at Restored Purpose Counseling. From onboarding our new hires, to managing our efficiency, to ensuring our practice runs efficiently, I'm here to make sure everything clicks. With a Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health and a Bachelor’s in Psychology, I'm fueled by a passion for helping our clients thrive.

I'm a firm believer in the powerful connection between mind and body, recognizing the vital role food plays in mental health. Outside the office, you’ll often find me soaking up the sun on Tampa's beaches or exploring the latest culinary hotspots with my husband and two kiddos. When it's time to unwind, I love nothing more than diving into a good Netflix series or playing a board game with friends.

Originally hailing from Colorado, I traded mountains for palm trees in 2020 and haven't looked back. Nowadays, anything below 80 degrees feels positively chilly – a testament to my love for Florida's tropical weather!

Hi there! I’m Dakota, the Director of Client Care at Restored Purpose Counseling. With a Bachelor’s in Psychology and a Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling, I bring a unique blend of therapeutic expertise and administrative skills to my role. I’m passionate about serving our clients and clinicians—whether it’s connecting with those interested in our services, pairing them with the right clinician, guiding them through the intake process, or ensuring our practice operates smoothly through administrative and operational support.

Originally from Central Florida, I’ve called Jacksonville home since 2011. I live here with my husband and our two feline fur babies. Outside of work, I enjoy spending quality time with family and friends, exploring new places, and embracing my love for home decorating and organization. I like to describe myself as “outsidey but not outdoorsy,” enjoying peaceful walks in nature but also finding joy in cozy evenings with candles, blankets, and a good movie. Serving with my local church is another part of my life that brings me fulfillment and purpose.
