The Young Mind Clinic
Delivering psychology services for children and teenagers in Mosman.
Child Psychologist Mosman
Navigating life as a young person can sometimes be difficult. For those with social, emotional, and behavioural challenges, these difficulties may seem even more overwhelming.
At The Young Mind Clinic, we believe that every child and teenager deserves access to 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.
We deliver therapy and comprehensive evaluations to address concerns that may affect children and teenagers up to 18 years old. These can include ADHD Assessment, Autism Assessment, and Psychometric Assessment.
Therapy and Treatment
We apply evidence-based strategies tailored to the unique difficulties faced by the young person.
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).
We offer support in a relaxed and comforting environment designed to make you and your children feel at ease.
Assessments
Our assessments cover a variety of concerns, such as Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), specific learning disorder (SLD), giftedness, and intellectual disability (ID), along with identifying cognitive and academic strengths and weaknesses to aid in educational planning.
We can assess whether various factors may be influencing the overall challenges the young person is experiencing. Every evaluation is detailed and includes screening for alternative explanations or issues.
Common Conditions We Can Help With
Whether your child has general concerns often seen in young people, more significant symptoms, or an established diagnosis, we can provide assistance. Some of the challenges we address include:
- Anxiety, including phobias, social anxiety, separation anxiety, generalised anxiety, and perfectionism
- Depression
- Obsessive Compulsive Disorder and other obsessive-compulsive behaviours, including tics
- Exam stress and other academic concerns
- Procrastination

Specific Practice

AHPRA Registered
Our psychologists are registered with the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA) and are therefore able to offer services covered by Medicare.
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.
Private health insurance claims typically do not require a referral, though you should verify the terms of your policy directly with your private health insurer.
For appointments, please call 02 9420 0896 or email 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 offer Telehealth options. If you plan to visit the clinic, please let us know about any mobility concerns, as the entrance has stairs.
Book an appointment by contacting us here or by calling (02) 9420 0896.
