Helping to Strengthen Our Community

The Strong Minds multi-disciplinary team are here to help our community to build strong mental health, develop skills, and learn in a positive and supported environment.

We do this by working individually with children, adolescents, and adults, as well as providing assistance to parents and carers, small groups, educators, medical and allied health professionals, and the wider community.

As a multi-disciplinary clinic, we work together to establish and foster best support pathways, and take opportunities to support each person’s needs.

Strong Minds Psychology provides occupational therapy and psychological assessment, counselling, intervention, and positive behaviour support services to the Yarra Valley and Outer East suburbs of Melbourne, as well as West Gippsland and surrounds.

Our clinics can be found within the communities of Yarra Junction and Warragul, and we also provide mobile visits in schools, homes, kindergartens, and aged care facilities within our broader catchment areas.
