Hi there,

I’m Monica van Schaik (they/them). I support members of the neurodivergent and 2SLGBTQ+ community to live with greater self-acceptance, empowerment and well-being. I currently offer individual therapy to people 12+, therapy or consultation to parents/caregivers looking for support with a child or teen that is neurodivergent and/or queer, and Spelling to Communicate services. I give priority to Two-Spirit/Indigiqueer, queer, trans, Black, Indigenous and racialised individuals and families.

I have grown to understand myself as a White, dyslexic, non-binary, queer, polyamorous trauma survivor. I have found healing and understanding through counselling, activism, art and community. In my clinical therapy practice, I value collaboration and taking a therapeutic approach that resonates with your healing journey. I use a trauma-informed approach that integrates narrative and mindfulness therapies and draws from skills rooted in Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, DBT, ACT, and attachment. My approach is warm, relational and explorative.

In my S2C services, I support your nonspeaking loved one to develop the motor control and regulation required to access communication using the Spelling to Communicate methodology. I also guide you to learn the skills to give your nonspeaker access to communication at home and in their community. In my RDI® Consulting services, I support parents to create learning and relationship connections that lead to self-celebration, joy and growth.
