MELISSA MILLER

MC, RP, DKATI

Registered Psychotherapist

Melissa practices from a culturally responsive, socially just lens, believing deeply in the power of compassion, creativity, and meaning-making in the healing process. She views clients as the true experts in their own lives and works collaboratively to help them navigate the way forward at their own pace.

 

Alongside her one-on-one clinical work, Melissa also facilitates art therapy groups. In her spare time, she enjoys creating art for the process rather than the product, exploring nature, and trying new recipes.
