Clinical Expertise and Approach
Dr Pariz has worked across various settings, including public health services, paediatric hospital settings, university psychology clinics, and private practice across Brazil and Australia. Her practice is grounded in attachment-based, trauma-informed care, schema therapy, neuro-affirming approaches, family systems and cognitive-behavioural frameworks, allowing her to address a wide range of presenting concerns with sensitivity and skill. In addition, her work with Indigenous families in Australia has deepened her cultural awareness and commitment to providing culturally responsive, trauma-informed care.
Dr Pariz also specialises in Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT), offering targeted interventions for externalising behavioural difficulties, including ADHD and emotional and behavioural dysregulation in children, adolescents, and associated family relationship challenges. Her approach recognises that children's wellbeing is intrinsically connected
to their family system and the patterns of attachment and interaction; she works collaboratively with parents and caregivers to create lasting, positive change.
