Dr. Mendy Neralic

CLINICAL PSYCHOLOGIST, GUIDE, YOGA PRACTITIONER

I’m a clinical psychologist with a background and interest in various traditions and approaches. 

At its heart, my approach is alchemical, dialogical and co-creative.

I incorporate mind-body practices from traditional cognitive-behavioural psychology (CBT, ACT) and Transpersonal, Depth, and Archetypal Psychology with Somatic approaches (Hakomi, DBR, Sensorimotor Psychotherapy).

I also naturally invite the wisdom of spiritual and religious traditions, yoga philosophy, energy medicine, and mystical and esoteric practices, including ancestral healing, mythology, dreaming, tarot, and trance. 

My major project is to shift the culture for girls and women by reintroducing and educating them on the archetypal processes of Initiation and Rites of Passage.
