I am so grateful to Millia. I made more progress with her than with any other therapist, largely due to her vast experience and knowledge of different therapeutic approaches. Warm and compassionate, Millia creates an environment where you feel truly seen and heard. I still have work to do but in my day-to-day life I am changed. She has given me the awareness and tools to feel safer in the world. I cannot express enough how life-changing that has been. Thank you.

Working with Millia has been incredibly helpful. She has helped me process trauma from my childhood as well as a complex mix of distressing emotions/situations from my adult life. Millia is trained in a number of different approaches and what I think is unique about her work is her ability to use her extensive knowledge to use and combine the methods to provide the best treatment for you. As important is her kind and compassionate nature and the care that she shows, which allows you to trust in her, and in the healing process. I would recommend Millia without hesitation.
