REGISTERED CLINICAL COUNSELLOR
Melanie Miller, MC
I have 10 years counselling experience at Cranbrook Mental Health Programs with Interior Health.
I am compassionate with backbone, so I can be a strong, supportive guide with you on your healing journey. I work with adults experiencing a variety of challenges and concerns: anxiety, depression, emotion regulation and phase of life transitions. I have specialized interests in concussions, chronic pain, sensory issues and the LGBTQ2S+ community.
In my personal time I enjoy the great outdoors, hiking, gardening and X-country skiing. I also enjoy the great indoors where I make assemblage art, engage in my spiritual practice and listen to jazz. And above all else, I really love connecting authentically with family and friends.
