Hi, I'm Monique

Hello and a very warm welcome to my service. I’m Monique Pangari, MEd (she/her), a Certified Trauma Psychotherapist, Educator, Supervisor, Trainer and survivor of Adoption Trauma who specializes in mind-body reunification for addressing complex developmental trauma. I have worked with and trained hundreds of people and professionals from all over Australia in expressive, symbolic and somatic trauma recovery processes and cultural healing practices. In my private practice I offer Therapy, Consultation, Supervision, Online Webinars and Training specifically for adoptees, their families and other providers working with this population.

My work centres on healing the pain of relinquishment trauma, family separation and cultural loss, with a special focus on the experiences and impact of mother-infant separation on adoptees, children & teens growing up in foster care, the intergenerational impact of Stolen Generation and adult survivors of the Forced Adoption Era.
