Melanie (Mel Miller) Miller
(She/Her/Hers)
Certified Social Worker (CSW)
Grounded in research, training and experience, I am privileged to welcome, support and validate individuals and support their healing journeys.
I believe that we are complex and unique. In order to support the emotional, mental, or behavioral needs that bring you to therapy, I know it is important to support you as a whole person. There are a lot of ways to be healthy and whole. I am here to support you in becoming your version of healthy and whole! I have extensive experience supporting trauma and abuse survivors, including emotional, physical and sexual abuse; neglect; and human trafficking. I'm a proud ally and advocate for LGBTQIA+.
