Individual Therapy & Parent Coaching
Individual Therapy: Child, Adolescents & Adults
DOMIA Mind Body Connect works alongside children, adolescents and adults to support optimal wellbeing and healing. Therapy is a space to be heard, respected and validated whilst navigating your life journey at a pace that feels comfortable for you. This is your time to fill your cup and sessions are guided by you.
Therapy is guided by various modalities and theories such as trauma sensitive and informed practices, neurodevelopmental trauma, attachment, family systems, child development, somatic and embodied healing, DDP, sensory and play interventions as well as and strength-based approaches. At the heart of therapy, is your trust in me as your therapist. Your emotional and psychological safety is my priority as it is through relationships that people heal and grow.
Sessions can be held face to face in my office or via telehealth (only for adults). There may be times where it is appropriate for me to have sessions at your home, only when providing therapy for children and adolescents. This would be assessed in conversations prior to starting therapy.
Parent Coaching
DOMIA Mind Body Connect offers parent coaching alongside any child who receives therapy through this service. It is an expectation that parents/caregivers engage in parent coaching, as it is through their relationship with the child/adolescent that profound healing and growth occurs. Working holistically with the important adults in the child/adolescent’s life has proven positive outcomes for the child, parent/caregiver, and overall family functioning.
Parent Coaching involves accessing psychoeducation regarding such topics as child development, stress responses, the mind and body connection and tricky behaviours. It can also look like conversations relating to positive parenting and responding to your child’s underlying needs and behaviours in a way that fosters co-regulation, safety, and strengthens family relationships.
Parenting can be hard work, and sometimes we get swept away in the repetitive nature of unhelpful patterns and ways of relating to our children. You are not alone. I am here to support you to calm the chaos in your home and reconnect with your child.
Therapeutic Support Plans are also offered to support you navigate your parenting journey both at home, and to support your child/adolescent in their education setting.
