Home » About Desne Doman

Desné Doman, Clinical psychologist

I have been working with individuals just like yourself. 

I know what it is like to not feel happy or not feel good about yourself.

As a therapist, I am here to help you get your inner peace back so that you can enjoy being who you are and build relationships that your heart yearns for.

How I work

People who work with me say that I’m down-to-earth and non-judgemental, and they like being able to understand what we are doing and how it’s going to improve their life.

My key focus area is trauma – PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder) and Complex Trauma which is traumatizing incidents that occur repeatedly over a period of time. Trauma is a root cause or many mental health disorders including anxiety and depression.

The modality I use daily and have a 1000 plus hours of experience with is Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). I trained in EMDR 2.0 

As a Clinical Psychologist I will assess you and discuss a plan that may integrate a number of evidence-based modalities including:

  • Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR),
  • Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT),
  • Internal Family Systems Therapy,
  • Mindfulness,
  • Schema-focused Cognitive Therapy,
  • Motivational Interviewing,
  • Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy,
  • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT),
  • Psychedelic Integration Therapy,
  • Brainspotting

Since each client is unique, treatment methods are jointly chosen to fit your needs and strengths.

As a long term meditator, I use a mindfulness-informed approach to therapy.
