  • What Our Clients are Saying

    Charlie’s understanding and knowledge of trauma-informed care is admirable. As someone living with Chronic PTSD, one thing I feared the most was confronting vulnerability. While working with Charlie, his reaffirming guidance and integrated approaches allows me to discover and develop a deep appreciation of what it means to trust and be vulnerable- opening up a new pathway for me both inside and outside of the therapeutic space. I can trust in my ability to challenge myself and learn how to manage the symptoms I struggle with. I continue to look forward in my healing journey at Rivers MH and what the future has in store for me.

  • What Our Clients are Saying

    Charlie's ability to show up with empathy, consistency, understanding and kindness has been life-giving to me. I started therapy with Charlie at a specific point in life that I needed all the help I could get to navigate a loss that I have been facing and am still working through processing all my feelings and walking through it the best that I can. With Charlie's guidance, insight's, compassion and gentle warmth it has provided me with a sense of hope and helped me to find direction which has allowed me to face this new version of my life with resilience and courage. Doing therapy with a new provider can feel intimidating, but with Charlie it has felt easy and effortless from the start- he made the entire process feel very simple and straightforward. He is an excellent communicator and has given me comfort as I've faced the biggest loss of my life (the death of a parent). I'm incredibly grateful to have Charlie as a therapist and it's added a lot of comfort, support and inspiration into my life at a time I really needed it the most. I look forward to continuing to do therapy with Charles and giving myself this gift of additional support to help me navigate everything in front of me the best that I can.

  • What Our Clients are Saying

    A True Trauma Specialist-A Lifesaver. After years of searching and cycling through five different counselors, I honestly thought I was beyond help. Finding Charles Miller was the absolute turning point in my mental health journey.

    His specialization in trauma therapy is profound; he approached my history with a level of insight, patience, and skill that I hadn't encountered in any previous session. He didn't just listen-he provided me with the evidence-based tools and compassionate guidance necessary to finally process deep, long-held wounds.

    Thanks to his expertise, I have been able to return to a fully healthy mental landscape for the first time in years. If you have struggled with trauma or felt failed by previous therapy experiences, please see Charles Miller. He is a true professional and a game-changer.

  • What Our Clients are Saying

    Rivers Mental Health has been such an important piece of my mental health journey/practice for the last nearly two years. Charlie is so genuine, personable, and genuinely cares about me as a patient and as a person. I feel safe and comfortable during sessions and I know that I can bring my full, authentic self to every session because Charlie cares most about helping me learn about myself. If you are looking for a therapist that wants to help you and walk with you on your mental health journey, I cannot recommend Rivers Mental Health highly enough. 12/10!
