Dr. Stephanie Mines is a psychologist whose unique understanding comes from her academic research as well as her extensive work in the field. Her stories of personal transformation have led many listeners to become deeply committed to the healing journey.  Dr. Mines understands shock from every conceivable perspective. She has investigated it as a survivor, a neuroscientist, a healthcare provider with over thirty years of direct experience with people, and as a trainer for institutions and agencies. Her blend of Western and Eastern modalities offers the best of both paradigms.  She is devoted to ending the lineage of shock and trauma for individuals and the world.

Dr. Mines is the Program Director of the DOM Project, a non-profit organization dedicated to providing alternative health options for a broad spectrum of populations. As Director, she is responsible for disseminating information to communities in need, especially people suffering from illness that results from shock and trauma, survivors of domestic violence, families and children, and people living with neurodiversity including autism and other sensory integration challenges.

Dr. Mines’ books represent an overview of her mission to create a bottom up, empowerment based sustainable healthcare revolution. These include: We Are All in Shock; New Frontiers in Sensory Integration and most recently They Were Families: How War Comes Home.
