KIND MYND
Monique Pittas (She/Her)
Many adults I work with in Melbourne feel stuck between feeling too much or not enough, often struggling with anxiety, low self-esteem, or people-pleasing patterns. My primary approach is EMDR therapy, an evidence-based treatment that helps the brain process overwhelming or stuck experiences so they no longer create the same distress. I also integrate Schema Therapy and parts work to address deeper patterns, supporting meaningful and lasting change.
Services
I provide individual therapy for adults, both face-to-face and online. A core part of my work is EMDR therapy, which helps the brain process and release the effects of overwhelming or stuck experiences so that they no longer hold the same power. I often integrate EMDR with Schema Therapy and self-compassion approaches, while also drawing on SSCM, CBT, and ACT to meet each person’s unique needs.
I offer support for:
-
Eating disorders and disordered eating patterns
-
Feeling stuck in unhelpful patterns linked to past experiences
-
Anxiety and worry
-
Strengthening self-worth and self-esteem
-
Navigating life as a neurodivergent adult (including autism and ADHD)
Session fees are $240 for a 50 minute session with a $98.95 medicare rebate with an eligible mental health care plan or eating disorder care plan. The out of pocket fee is $141.05
Booking Process for EMDR
1
Intake
I’m currently at capacity, but you’re welcome to join the EMDR waitlist by completing the form below.
This helps me understand what’s bringing you here and whether EMDR is likely to be a good fit for your needs right now.
Because EMDR is a trauma treatment, I want to make sure you feel safe, supported, and matched with the right approach. If I believe another practitioner may better meet your needs, I’ll let you know before booking, your time, energy, and nervous system deserve care and clarity from the start.

Assessment and resource phases
Our first session (50 minutes) won’t jump straight into trauma processing. EMDR involves a structured, phased approach, starting with getting to know each other, exploring your history, and building the foundations of safety, stability, and trust.
We’ll spend time mapping your experiences, identifying patterns, and introducing resourcing tools to help your system feel grounded and supported before any trauma reprocessing begins. EMDR isn’t rushed we go at your pace, with your consent at every stage.

Ongoing sessions
Ongoing EMDR sessions continue with resourcing, memory targeting, and reprocessing (when you feel ready). Depending on your goals and needs, sessions may include a mix of EMDR, parts work, and Schema Therapy especially for complex trauma or attachment-based wounds.
Some sessions are focused on nervous system regulation and emotional safety, while others may involve deeper processing of past events or beliefs. Every step is collaborative, and you’re in the driver’s seat.
Whether you’re working through a single traumatic event or complex trauma that’s been carried for years, EMDR offers a structured path to healing one that honours your story, your strengths, and your capacity for change.
