Our approach

Keystone Psychology uses evidence-based, ethical and flexible therapy that is responsive to each young person's individual learning style, personal and environmental needs. Sessions aim to provide a safe, respectful counselling environment to explore concerns, with practical recommendations tailored to the individual's circumstances. The team works with young people presenting with a range of sensitive and concerning behaviours—including those related to unhealthy or harmful patterns, trauma, mental health difficulties, and difficulties with emotion regulation and social skills. Treatment is designed to improve wellbeing and help young people address issues that could otherwise negatively impact their future. The focus is on providing help that is realistic and achievable for positive change.

Meet the team

The team consists of eight qualified psychologists: Doctors Tiffany Lewis, Julianne Read, Nicola Pronk, Alicia Tanner, Nina Papalia and Grace Mackie work as forensic and clinical psychologists (with Dr Mackie also holding educational and developmental qualifications), along with clinical psychologists Sheridan Finlay and Shaye Elia. All are experienced child and adolescent practitioners working in Melbourne who specialise in comprehensive forensic assessments and rehabilitation for young people with complex needs. The team provides expert assessment and therapeutic intervention across a range of sensitive and concerning presentations.

Your first visit

The initial appointment involves a comprehensive forensic or psychological assessment designed to help families and professionals better understand and manage a young person's behaviour. Assessments draw together multiple puzzle pieces to create a complete picture of the young person's presentation, which may include mental health evaluation, neurodevelopmental assessment (such as autism or ADHD screening), and evaluation of any concerning behaviours. The team gathers information to inform recommendations for families, support people, and courts about how best to meet the young person's needs. These assessment reports are comprehensive, candid, balanced and impartial, with practical recommendations developed specifically for each individual.
