A Collaborative Project Between
The DMI Collective is a collaborative effort between intermediate level trained DMI therapist who have a shared passion for excellence in DMI therapy, continued education, and a love for what we do. The DMI Collective has a vision for offering therapy intensives that will include families meeting families and therapist supporting therapist for the benefit of the children. This collective stems from our belief that we are better together and will always support the value of connection and growth, as therapist and families work in tandem. We are so excited to begin and can’t wait to knock it out of the park with each child during our first event!
