Welcome to Megan Miller Counselling, now accepting new clients in Alberta and British Columbia. I have over 25 years of experience supporting clients in the areas of anticipatory grief, bereavement, trauma, and diagnosis and illness adjustment through my work in health services. My greatest learning has come from journeying alongside all of the brave humans I’ve had the privilege of working with, including adults, teens, health care professionals, and other therapists.

It is hard to reach out for support or to even consider reaching out when you are struggling. Perhaps you are experiencing a sense of grief, loss, or burnout leaving you feeling stuck and unsure about what the future holds? Perhaps you are feeling adrift and need someone to talk to as you figure out what to do next? Sometimes we find our past experiences interfere with the present and all of us face challenges that require extra support. Counselling can help you gain a better understanding of yourself, your relationships, and the changes you wish to implement to achieve further growth.

In challenging times such as those we are experiencing today, it is only normal to feel overwhelmed, anxious, angry and sad. Our world and the life we knew have changed. Some of us lost their jobs, some of us lost activities which were close to their hearts, some of us lost their dreams and plans, and some of us lost their loved ones. Covid-19 constitutes a universal struggle, and it also imposes additional distress for some of us who were already coping with mental health issues. While Covid-19 forces distance, you don't need to be alone with your pain. I believe that every struggle is also an opportunity for personal growth.

I am a Masters level Social Worker with over 25 years experience and a graduate from Dr. Alan Wolfelt’s Center for Loss and Life Transition. My passion is to companion those who are coping with loss, not only associated with a death or Chronic Illness. Including losses associated with aging and Life Transitions. Our work together will consist of a mindful approach that validates and normalizes your journey and story.

Life can be a beautiful mess and a heartbreaking gift, often at the same time. My aim is to provide the connection and support you need to navigate the challenges you are currently facing. Using a trauma-informed and attachment-based lens, I will work with you to recognize the patterns of thinking and behaviour that might be holding you back, as well as invite you to consider how various influences in your life impact your functioning. I will remind you of your innate strengths and values and encourage your overal wellbeing by inviting you to listen to and trust your thoughts, emotions, and bodily sensations.

Struggling with anxiety, depression, grief, and/or pregnancy/postpartum issues? Please know that I am here. I will provide and guide you with strategies to help identify ways of coping and ways of taking back control in your life. You and I together, will work collaboratively in a safe, confidential space to help you feel empowered, learn how to enhance your self-care and build resilience. During our sessions, expect some laughter and some tears and always no judgement. I do offer Couples Counselling to help with relationship issues; whether it is communication breakdown, intimacy issues, infidelity, or external stressors.

Are you going through or have you recently gone through a significant life transition or loss? Are you noticing you are not quite handling things the way you used to or are feeling as if you are living in survival mode? I have dedicated my career to supporting folks in making meaningful change in their life. I specialize in helping folks recover from Grief and Loss, and I do not just mean loss from losing a love one. I can help folks experiencing all sorts of loss ranging from the loss of a career, a friendship, an intimate relationship, a pet, etc.

Grief is a natural and unique experience. Hello! I am a holistic grief specialist. I am not your typical talk counsellor. I help adult Albertan’s connect to their mind, body, spirit and life again after a death, loss or life change. Grief is unique in how each person experiences it. Grief can be chaotic, overwhelming, isolating and sometimes leaving you feeling you have no control of your mind, body and life. Having both personal and professional experience with death, loss and unpredictable changes, allows me to be thoughtful about the importance of creating a safe space to share your raw emotions, thoughts and story of loss.

A warm welcome! Are you navigating a life transition, feeling disconnected from yourself and others, or struggling with anxiety/worry that keeps you from living the life you desire? Perhaps you seek to foster a life that aligns with your authentic self, but are unsure where to start? You are not alone. When women encounter adversity, the effects are often multifaceted; creating unbalance, strain on relationships, and impacting overall wellbeing. As a dedicated counsellor, I support women encountering challenges in the areas of anxiety, life transitions, trauma, relationship matters, grief/loss, and self-discovery.

You are on a beautiful journey. It is a courageous and vulnerable thing - - to look at your life, recognize the challenges, and reach out for support. I honour the strength in you, and the part of you that is hanging on to hope, keeps reaching towards health and wholeness, determined to find ways to get there. I’m glad you are here. It would be an honour to support you on this journey. Are you looking for insight and clarity? Need to work through grief, depression, anxiety or a transition? Art Therapy is an effective way to process all of these, and developing skills, tools and strengths along the way.

My approach is trauma-focused and attachment oriented. I utilize both Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) and Internal Family Systems (IFS) in my practice. Both are evidence-based modalities that facilitate Memory Reconsolidation. That's a fancy term meaning that disturbing emotional memories (which create triggers) can be unlocked, released and replaced so that you can truly heal and feel alive and free. Treatments include: PTSD, trauma, early childhood and complex trauma, OCD, Dyslexia, pain and addictions, loss and grief. You don’t have to go through what you’re facing alone. Please email for a free phone consultation.

To add to this complexity are you neurodiverse (eg., ADHD, autism, gifted) or suspect you are? If you answered yes to one or more of these questions you are like many of my clients.

Birth can be beautiful and scary. And when a birth doesn't go as planned, it can affect us in ways that we never expected. Right now, you may be staring at your newborn feeling overwhelmed by intrusive thoughts, sadness, or fear. Or maybe you’re reeling from a miscarriage, stillbirth, or TFMR, and you need someone to help carry your pain without dismissal or judgment. Or you've gotten through that first year and are dreading the end of your leave and don't know how you're going to get through the transition to work and daycare. If this is you, I can help!
