Juanita Miller Berry
- B.A. (Hons), B. Ed., Teachers Certificate
- Cert. NLP (GDA, Santa Cruz)
- Certified Theraplay Therapist (TTI Chicago)
- Doctoral candidate in Clinical Psychology (Murdoch University)
- Certificate IV Workplace Training & Assessment.
Juanita Miller-Berry is an experienced psychologist who treats both children and adults, particularly those suffering from drug addiction or the aftermath of childhood trauma such as sexual abuse, violence, institutional abuse or multiple placements as children. Trained in the US, she is currently the only qualified practitioner in WA in the attachment therapies of Theraplay® (see box) and Dyadic Developmental Psychotherapy or DDP (info at www.danielahughes.homestead.com). Both methods are used to build or rebuild the bond between a child and their caregiver which may have been damaged by such events as divorce, illness, prolonged separation or trauma. Juanita thus sees foster and adopted children with their carers, children diagnosed with ADHD or on the autistic spectrum, as well as those displaying anxiety, depression, behaviour or adjustment problems. She has received training also in EMDR, hypnotherapy, psychodrama and NLP, along with the more common psychological methods of Cognitive Behaviour Therapy and Interpersonal Therapy and utilises these methods with adults or children as required. She is licenced to provide supervision to other professionals in both Theraplay and DDP.
Theraplay® is a short-term attachment-based therapy for children and their caregivers which aims to enhance self-esteem, trust in others and joyful engagement. It is based on the natural patterns of interaction between parent and child and is personal, physical and fun. Theraplay interactions focus on four essential qualities found in healthy parent-child relationships: Structure, Nurture, Engagement and Challenge. Theraplay sessions create an active and affective connection between the child and the parent/carer, resulting in a changed view of the self as worthy and lovable and of relationships as positive or rewarding. It is best suited for children from birth to twelve. With older children it is combined with Dyadic Developmental Psychotherapy or DDP (visit www.danielahughes.homestead.com) and is termed Integrative Attachment Therapy. For further information on Theraplay visit www.theraplay.org.
A former state school teacher and trained youth worker, Juanita worked for many years in high school, remedial education and at TAFE as senior lecturer in the field of school aged child care. From 1981-90 she served on both national and international committees re children's rights, and was Australian delegate to a UN-affiliated committee in 1988.
As a Clinical Psychologist (Registrar) Juanita worked at: the Incest Survivors Association, SARC, a Mental Health Clinic, the Department for Child Protection, and at two adult drug rehabilitation centres in W.A. She is currently completing a professional doctorate in clinical psychology on the relation of emotion regulation capacities to the management of stress and chronic pain.
