The Young Mind Clinic
Offering dedicated 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 are committed to ensuring every child and teenager has the ability to access evidence-based therapy.
With years of experience and an understanding of young people, our psychologists are dedicated to providing excellent care. We aim to create a supportive treatment plan specifically for them.
How We Can Assist You
Our practice is exclusively focused on children, teenagers, and their families. We help young people recognise their abilities and adopt strategies to face life’s obstacles, and we guide parents and carers in creating positive and ongoing connections.
We provide therapy alongside thorough assessments for a range of challenges that can impact children and adolescents up to 18 years of age. These can include ADHD Assessment, Autism Assessment, and Psychometric Assessment.
Therapy and Treatment
Our treatment plans are built around evidence-based practices, addressing the specific challenges the young person is experiencing.
We incorporate 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
- Sleep problems

What To Expect and How to Book
Booking an appointment does not require a referral, but if you wish to claim a Medicare rebate, you’ll need an eligible Mental Health Care Plan from your GP. Private health insurance rebates usually do not need a referral, though it’s important to confirm the specifics of your coverage with your insurer.For young people under 16, an initial consultation is usually held with one or both guardians, preferably with both attending if feasible. For separated families, separate consultations with each parent can be scheduled.
This process aims to collect important background details, facilitate open discussion, and decide on the best course of action. For those aged 16 and older, the initial consultation involves both the young person and their parent/s, usually including time with the psychologist both together and individually.
We provide Telehealth options. If attending the clinic in person, please notify us of any mobility issues as there are stairs at the entrance.
