About Amelia Doma

Amelia Doma is a Registered Psychotherapist and completed her Master’s in Counselling Psychology at Yorkville University. She received her Bachelor of Arts in Child & Youth Studies and Sociology with a Minor in Criminology. Amelia completed a post-graduate diploma in Early Childhood Education. 

As a new mother, Amelia feels passionate about offering support on the various emotional and psychological changes early parenthood encompasses – i.e., postpartum mood concerns, changing relationships, identity shifts, as well as PMDD, PME, and PCOS. Additionally, Amelia seeks to support adolescents and adults with anxiety, emotion management, body image, and codependency in relationships.  

Amelia knows first-hand what it is like to be a client as a youth and as an adult. Living with ADHD and high-functioning anxiety, Amelia continues to gain insight through personal psychotherapy by increasing her ability to build emotional resilience, maintain boundaries, and learn to ask for support. She strives to help her clients feel as safe, supported, and understood as she has felt in her own healing journey. 

Amelia is warm, kind, and non-judgemental in her interactions with others. She is not only highly empathetic, but understands that each individual’s path to developing self-acceptance is as unique as the individual seeking therapy. Humanistic in her approach, Amelia draws from a variety of evidence-based approaches including emotionally-focused therapy (EFT), Gestalt Therapy, person-centered therapy, psychodynamic therapy, as well as DBT and CBT.

Amelia attended the “Compassion in Therapy Summit” in 2021, 2022, and 2023 – produced by The Awake Network and Center for Mindful Self-Compassion – learning how to integrate mindfulness and compassion into her therapy practice. Amelia has received training in Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) with an Attachment theory lens for individuals, couples, and families in 2023. Amelia aspires to engage in updated training for EFT, as well as workshops on patterns of disordered eating and grief and loss. 

Outside of work, Amelia thoroughly enjoys reading novels of all kinds, practicing yoga, and travelling. Proud to live in the Guelph area, Amelia loves spending time outdoors, hiking with her husband, their young daughter, and mischievous puppy, Whiskey.
