Mish Kumar-Jonson is a South Indian, non-binary, queer, neurodivergent, and disabled Accredited Mental Health Social Worker and EMDR Consultant based on unceded Kulin Nation lands. As a therapist, researcher, and leader, Mish integrates anti-oppressive and healing-centred approaches to trauma work, especially with neuroqueer people of the global majority, to create spaces where folks can connect, heal, and embody their favourite selves. Through both their therapeutic and governance practices Mish seeks to centre cultural humility, identity-affirming care, and joy as tools for liberation, and identity reclamation. Mish predominantly works with folks navigating dissociation and dissociative identity responses – especially those with racial, displacement, neurodivergent, queer, cultural, family violence, and intergenerational trauma. Mish has presented on identity affirming and anti-colonial practices globally and continues to advocate for liberation focused practices across a range of settings. They are the current CEO of The Iceberg Foundation and Director at Niram EMDR alongside their work at TRNA and their research as a research fellow at the University of Melbourne where they are investigating the role of cultural dance within EMDR to increase cultural affirmation with EMDR praxis.
