Getting to know Melissa Miller

Hi there, I'm Melissa! Hello! My name is Melissa Miller, and I am looking forward to working with you. I am a licensed clinical social worker with a Master's in Social Work from San Diego State University, and I have been providing therapy since 2010. I consider it a privilege to support people through whatever challenges or concerns bring them to treatment. I offer an open, non-judgmental, and collaborative space where we can work together to find solutions to your concerns and deepen your understanding of yourself and your needs. My hope is that my clients graduate care with an improved ability to engage with themselves and the relationships in their lives that give them meaning. I particularly specialize in and enjoy working with maternal and perinatal mental health concerns and am currently working toward my certification in perinatal mental health. My approach I offer an eclectic approach to therapy tailored to what makes the most sense for each client. With that in mind, I draw upon a wide range of evidence-based therapeutic interventions, including Cognitive Behavioral, Solution Focused, Positive Psychology, Narrative, and Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction techniques in my work. My focus I have extensive experience working with adults of all ages. I particularly enjoy working with perinatal and maternal mental health, and as a mother of two young children, I find this connection helps provide understanding and shared context in my work with these populations. I also very much enjoy working with college-aged clients, as I find this is a highly formative and uniquely challenging stage of life that therapy can support greatly. My communication style I work hard to create a supportive, understanding, and judgment-free space for my clients. My clients often tell me they feel safe to open up and be themselves. I also provide directive feedback and guidance when needed to support the therapeutic process.
