Offering dedicated psychology services for children and teenagers in Cremorne.
Child Psychologist Cremorne
Navigating the world as a young person can be challenging. For those dealing with social, emotional, and behavioural issues, these challenges may seem even more daunting.
At The Young Mind Clinic, we are committed to ensuring every child and teenager has the ability to access evidence-based therapy.
Our psychologists, with their experience and understanding of young people, are committed to offering personalised care. We strive to develop a supportive treatment plan tailored to their needs.
How We Work To Support You
We are dedicated to working exclusively with children, teenagers, and their families. Our psychologists assist young people in discovering their strengths and navigating challenges, while equipping parents and carers to foster supportive relationships beyond therapy.
Our services include therapy and detailed assessments for various issues that may influence children and adolescents up to the age of 18. These can include ADHD Assessment, Autism Assessment, and Psychometric Assessment.
Therapy and Treatment
Our approach focuses on evidence-based techniques designed to address the specific issues the young person is dealing with.
We utilise evidence-based interventions including Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy Skills (DBT Skills), Motivational Interviewing (MI), Strengths Based Approaches, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT).
Our approach involves providing support in a calm and reassuring space to help you and your children feel at ease.
Assessments
Our services include assessments for ADHD, Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), specific learning disorders (SLD), giftedness, and intellectual disability (ID), along with identifying cognitive and academic strengths and weaknesses to support educational planning.
Our process involves determining if multiple factors are contributing to the challenges the young person is facing. Each assessment is thorough and includes screening for other potential explanations or concerns.
Common Conditions We Can Help With
Whether your child is experiencing common challenges faced by young people, more significant symptoms, or has an existing diagnosis, we can offer support. Our assistance includes, but is not limited to, the following difficulties:
- Anxiety, including phobias, social anxiety, separation anxiety, generalised anxiety, and perfectionism
- Depression
- Obsessive Compulsive Disorder and other obsessive-compulsive behaviours, including tics

AHPRA Registered
Our team of psychologists is registered with the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA) and can provide Medicare-rebates.
Booking with us
A referral is not necessary to see a psychologist, but to access a Medicare rebate, you will need to visit your GP, specialist paediatrician, or psychiatrist for an eligible Mental Health Care Plan.
You generally don’t need a referral to claim through private health insurance, but it’s important to check the specific requirements of your policy with your private health insurer.
To arrange an appointment, contact the clinic on 02 9420 0896 or send an email to admin@theyoungmindclinic.com.
What To Expect and How to Book
You can book an appointment without a referral. To claim a Medicare rebate, an eligible Mental Health Care Plan from your GP is required. Referrals are generally unnecessary for private health insurance rebates, but you should confirm your coverage conditions with your insurer.For children younger than 16, we generally start with an initial consultation involving one or both guardians, ideally both if available. For separated families, separate appointments with each parent can be arranged.
This step helps gather crucial background information, promote open dialogue, and identify the best way forward. For young people 16 and older, the first session includes both the young person and their parent/s, with time allocated for joint and separate discussions with the psychologist.
We provide Telehealth options. If attending the clinic in person, please notify us of any mobility issues as there are stairs at the entrance.
To arrange an appointment, get in touch here or call on (02) 9420 0896.
