• Our approach

  The provider combines knowledge of how the brain works with a variety of evidence-based psychotherapeutic methods to equip clients with tools to approach their challenges with understanding and confidence. Working with children and adolescents requires therapists with thorough knowledge of human development and skills to interpret how young clients make sense of the world. For complex needs, psychologists, occupational therapists, speech pathologists and social workers work together to appreciate the client's whole story and develop a personalised treatment strategy accordingly. Individual and group programs are offered across a range of areas including child and adolescent psychology, parenting support, occupational therapy, speech and language pathology, and eating disorders and weight management.

• Meet the team

  The team includes psychologists (including clinical, educational and developmental psychologists), occupational therapists, speech language pathologists, social workers, and a counselling psychologist director. Team members hold qualifications including Bachelor and Master degrees in psychology, occupational therapy, speech pathology, and social work, with several board-approved supervisors on staff. The team has been dedicated to improving client well-being through evidence-based therapies since the clinic's founding in 2008. Clients benefit from the diversity and collaborative approach of the interdisciplinary team across four clinic locations and a telehealth service.
