Dana Millar

Hi, I'm Dana.

I'm a counsellor, a recovering people-pleaser, and someone who knows how exhausting it can be to constantly wonder if you're enough, and what everyone else thinks of you. I know what it's like to second-guess yourself, worry about letting others down, and feel like you're carrying the weight of everyone else's expectations.

If you're tired of feeling like you're never quite enough—never thin enough, confident enough, lovable enough, or successful enough—you're not alone. Many women silently struggle with self-doubt, anxiety, body image concerns, emotional eating, and relationship patterns that leave them feeling stuck, disconnected, and overwhelmed.

You may look like you have it all together on the outside, but inside you're battling a harsh inner critic, feeling consumed by worries about what others think, or wondering why you keep ending up in the same painful relationship patterns. Maybe you're exhausted from trying to be everything for everyone while neglecting your own needs. Whatever you're carrying, I want you to know that life doesn't have to feel this hard.

As a Canadian Certified Counsellor (CCC), I help women heal their relationship with themselves, their bodies, and the people they care about. I specialize in supporting women experiencing low self-esteem, body image concerns, binge eating, anxiety, people-pleasing, and relationship challenges rooted in attachment wounds. Together, we'll work to understand what's keeping you stuck, develop healthier coping strategies, and create lasting change.

For over 15 years, I have helped individuals reduce anxiety, heal emotional wounds, process trauma, and break free from unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. My approach is warm, collaborative, and compassionate. I don't believe you're broken or need fixing. I believe you're doing the best you can with the tools you've had, and therapy can help you build new ones.

I strive to create a space where you feel safe, understood, and free from judgment. Your story is unique, and there is no one-size-fits-all approach to healing. Together, we'll find what works for you so you can begin building greater self-confidence, self-acceptance, and more fulfilling relationships.

Finding the right therapist matters. If you'd like to learn more about me or see if we're a good fit, I'd love to connect. I offer a complimentary 15-minute consultation where you can ask questions and get a feel for how I work.

You don't have to keep carrying this alone.
