Pia Jones

Hi, I’m Pia, and I’m the principal psychologist at The Integrative Psych.

I love supporting people to apply psychological strategies to effectively alleviate anxiety, mood disorders, addiction, poor sleep, eating disorders, and other mental health issues. These issues often result from life stressors such as loss and bereavement, chronic stress, post-traumatic stress, shock trauma, developmental trauma, poor health, or unhealthy lifestyle choices.

I enjoy working with individuals on the Autism Spectrum and employ a strengths-based approach that incorporates evidence-based interventions tailored to your individual needs. I also offer formal assessment services to support applications to the NDIS and for school based supports.

I employ a range of modalities in my therapeutic work including CBT, ACT, mindfulness therapies, Schema Therapy and EMDR to support recovery from trauma and the Gottman Method with couples and to help repair ruptures with parents and their teens.

As a Clinical and Health Psychologist, I’m passionate about integrative health care. I have a special interest in the connections between physical health and mental/emotional wellbeing. I’m a committed advocate for those seeking an integrative approach in achieving mental and emotional wellness. I have a background in nutrition and keep up to date with the latest scientific developments regarding the impact of gut health and unhealthy lifestyle habits on our mental and emotional health.

What’s most important to me is to ensure you feel heard and supported.
