Hello
My name is Jessica Milette, MSW, RSW
Navigating life, loss, uncertainty, and change can feel overwhelming. I'm so glad you're here.
I am a cis-gendered woman using she/her pronouns. I am a registered social worker in good standing with the Ontario College of Social Workers and Social Service Workers. I am also a member of the Ontario Association of Social Workers. I graduated with my Master of Social Work Degree from Wilfird Laurier University and have been practicing therapy since 2018.
I work with individuals 18+ living in Ontario, Canada who are experiencing grief, navigating life transitions, coping with uncertainty, and stress/burnout.
I also support those who work in the service industry as they navigate their wellbeing in these types of workplaces.
To ensure that it is a best fit for you and your needs contact me to book a free 15 minute consultation.
My Approach
My experience in grief and bereavement support includes 10+ years of peer-based support and four years’ experience working within a residential palliative care setting. I bring both my professional and lived experiences as a bereaved person to my work as an integrative therapist to find the best fit for each person's unique grief needs. Some of the modalities I use in therapy with clients include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT), Narrative Therapy, Parts Work, and Solution-Focused Therapy.
I believe in the power of connection; within ourselves, with those who have died, those we are in relationship with, and with our greater communities. I believe that therapy is a space where we can cultivate new ways of learning, thinking, and moving through challenging moments in our lives.
