    Led by Grace Miller, MSW, CSW

    This group is led by Grace Miller, a warm and compassionate mental health practitioner with a background in early childhood education. As a former Licensed Early Elementary Educator, Grace witnessed firsthand the powerful impact that emotional support can have on children and their families. Inspired by this, she pursued a path in mental health to deepen her ability to help children thrive.

    Grace brings a unique blend of clinical knowledge, classroom experience, and holistic care to her work. She is also a certified yoga practitioner, which enhances her understanding of the mind-body connection. Her approach is nurturing, empowering, and grounded in helping children feel safe, seen, and supported.

    With Grace’s guidance, children not only learn emotional regulation skills but also build confidence, improve relationships, and lay the foundation for lifelong well-being. Grace offers services in English and is dedicated to supporting diverse communities.
