SUZI MILLER
My own healing path from brokenness has sparked my passion to come alongside women dealing with life’s struggles and seeking to improve their relationship with God and others. For the past 25 years I have served in the local church as a ministry leader in the areas of biblical counseling, recovery from hurts, hangups, and habits and spiritual direction.
I have completed courses from Light University Counseling Training, affiliated with the American Association of Christian Counselors. Additionally, I am a certified instructor for Family Wellness, and for PREP (Prevention and Relationship Education Program).
JEREMY CAULEY
Hey everyone! My name is Jeremy Cauley and I am originally from South Boston, Virginia. I am an administrator in Jackson County Public Schools and have had the privilege of serving PreK through 12th grade young people in the arenas of academics, athletics, and extracurricular activities. My wife, Lindsi, and I have been married for almost 10 years and have three boys: Coy, Deacon, and Tatum. We are thankful to serve at the Orchard and are eternally blessed by the grace of Jesus Christ!
SCOTT MILLER
Scott was on staff at Big Valley Church in Modesto, CA for 25 years where he served as the pastor of recovery and counseling before moving to Waynesville with his wife Suzi and joining the Orchard last year.
In that role he served the Lord and the church through counseling couples, individuals and families.
His specific area of experience is serving couples in both pre and post marital counseling.
With individuals it is to people struggling with addiction or spiritual bondages as well as personal spiritual direction.
With families he serves those who are dealing with a loved one with an active addiction as well as families dealing with the struggles of a running a family business together.
LYDIA FRAZIER
Christian counseling played a pivotal role in helping me navigate a challenging season, guiding me toward personal growth and a deeper understanding of biblical truth. The experience had such a profound impact on my life that I felt called to pursue further education to become a biblical counselor.
Currently, I work in the Administrative Offices at Haywood Christian Academy. My husband Josh and I have been married for 12 years, and we have three beautiful daughters, ages 8, 4, and 2. I hold a bachelor’s degree in Human Services from Kennesaw State University, have completed courses through Light University, and am continuing to grow through ongoing studies. It’s a true blessing to be a part of Orchard Counseling.
CAROLYN OLLIFF
Over many years, it has been natural for me to volunteer and serve in various aspects of counseling. I have worked with people in trauma and crisis issues, and through many life disorders. I have served in Pastoral Care Ministries in hospitals, shelters and churches. My natural and spiritual calling led me to a Master’s degree in Pastoral Counseling and a Masters in Christian and Classical Studies; an understanding of the nature of man and the nature of God.
It is my privilege to be a part of Orchard Counseling, helping people to remember their true purpose and recognize hope within every situation as they live toward their Godly purpose.
