About Veronica Miller
Hello, my name is Veronica, I am a Registered Social Worker, and am in good standing with the Ontario College of Social Workers and Social Service Workers. Niya Iskwew Michif, I am a Red River Métis and a recognized citizen of the Métis Nation. I also have a deep connection to the Canadian Armed Forces, having served as a child, a spouse, and a mother for over 40 years. Having connections to two distinct and unique groups of people who are impacted by various traumas has led me to this new journey, where I want to support ongoing healing. I am committed to creating a safe and supportive environment where individuals from all backgrounds can explore their thoughts, feelings, and experiences in a non-judgmental and inclusive setting. With a compassionate and non-judgmental approach, I aim to help individuals navigate challenges, develop coping strategies, and work towards personal growth and healing.
I believe you are the expert of your own life, and I will work with you to tap into your inner strength and knowledge so you feel more empowered to create the life you want to live.
Nervous system regulation isn't about being calm all the time. A regulated nervous system can experience the full range of emotions. Healing comes from growing your capacity to experience pain and discomfort without getting stuck.
