Mina Čolić

Master’s degree in Clinical Psychology (Faculty of Philosophy, University of Belgrade)Certified Body PsychotherapistPractitioner of the Somatic Experiencing methodMy approach is based on the principles of body psychotherapy and is integrative in nature. I combine different bodies of knowledge and methods in my practice.I begin with the understanding that the body and psyche form a functional unity and are inseparably connected in a continuous dynamic interaction.Formative experiences in childhood define both psychological and bodily/physiological characteristics. Based on these principles, I use physical (somatic) interventions that influence psychological states and structures and vice versa.In my psychotherapeutic practice, I create space for working with the body and emotions, exploring various aspects of experience, and gaining insight within a safe relationship that I build with the client.Years of training in the field of body psychotherapy and the Somatic Experiencing method have given me the knowledge and skills to work on the stabilization and processing of complex trauma and traumatic experiences in general, which forms a large part of my daily therapeutic work with clients.
