Trauma and PTSD Therapists in Kelowna, BC
My approach draws from cognitive-behavioural therapy, humanistic client-centered therapy, solution-focused therapy, and mindfulness practices that incorporate somatic components to address trauma stored in the body.
Hello, I'm Nicholle Miller, a counsellor in training with experience working with people who face a variety of challenges in life, including trauma, chronic pain, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, depression, and problems in relationships and families.
I became a counsellor as I grew up experiencing child abuse and neglect resulting in CPTSD and chronic pain and illness diagnoses. I know firsthand how counselling and the work done between sessions can empower someone to break free from the surviving mechanisms that allowed them to move through the trauma but are now preventing them from creating the life they want.

I treat trauma - childhood, shock (eg. accidents, medical) and relational (eg. betrayal, bullying) utilizing IFS and EMDR. These models are experiential, not "talk therapy". I also offer Clinical Supervision. I have additional training in treating those suffering and addiction, their family members and adult children of alcoholics.
