Meet Nikoo Chamani – Founder and Clinical Art Therapist

Hello, I’m Nikoo Chamani, the founder of Wonderful Mind and a passionate Clinical Art Therapist specializing in autism and trauma. With a deep commitment to tailoring interventions to each individual’s unique needs, I provide a range of therapeutic approaches designed to support and empower my clients.

Specializations and Services:

• Autism Assessment and Support: Comprehensive assessments and tailored support for individuals with autism, focusing on their unique needs and strengths.
• Trauma Therapy: Using art and creative therapies to help individuals process and heal from traumatic experiences.
• Creative Therapies: Incorporating various forms of creative expression to facilitate self-exploration and emotional healing.

Approach and Philosophy:

In my practice, I embrace a holistic view of therapy that integrates artistic and creative processes. I believe in the power of exploring and expressing oneself through various mediums—whether it's music, ceramics, painting, or writing. These creative outlets allow individuals to delve into their inner selves, uncover layers of emotion, and reform their experiences through self-encounter.

In my own words: "I have lived both in ease and chaos; and have learned to explore my thoughts in different environments. In music, ceramics, painting, or writing, I explore my own layers of self and reform my outer self with every self-encounter. I believe we humans are simple at our best, but to communicate, we are far more complex."

Theoretical Foundations:

My therapeutic approach is informed by attachment theory, which emphasizes that our sense of well-being and life decisions are deeply rooted in our early psychological needs. The need to be heard, loved, and valued, shaped in the early days of life, is fundamental to our peace and self-worth.
