Depression, fear, and anxiety are some of the most common and uncomfortable emotions that we can experience at some point in our lives. Through psychological therapy, we are able to help you recover motivation, perspective, and joy that you once had in your life.

Depression & Anxiety
Grief and Trauma
Many individuals can experience symptoms associated with painful and traumatic circumstances. Anxiety, fear, and hopelessness are a few emotions that can linger post traumatic events. We can help you process these symptoms and guide you through the experience of grief and healing. Often it can be hard to see the forest for the trees, but therapy can help you find a way.
Telehealth
While we have a lovely environment for you to receive mental health treatment in Croydon, all the psychologists working out of Oakley Family Clinic also offer the option of telehealth. So if you can't make it to the office for any reason, we can still offer sessions where we can see and hear each other, over a secure and confidential connection that are rebatable with Medicare. All you need is an internet connection, a web browser, and a device that has access to a camera and microphone!
The Oak Tree
by Johnny Ray Ryder Jr.
A mighty wind blew night and day
It stole the oak tree’s leaves away
Then snapped its boughs and pulled its bark
Until the oak was tired and stark
But still the oak tree held its ground
While other trees fell all around
The weary wind gave up and spoke,
“How can you still be standing Oak?”
The oak tree said, “I know that you
Can break each branch of mine in two
Carry every leaf away
Shake my limbs, and make me sway
But I have roots stretched in the earth
Growing stronger since my birth
You’ll never touch them, for you see
They are the deepest part of me
Until today I wasn’t sure
Of just how much I could endure
But now I’ve found, with thanks to you
I’m stronger than I ever knew!”
