About Next Door Psychology
About us
Next Door Psychology welcome a range of referrals for counselling and assessment. We provide counselling and psychological treatments for people who present with many psychological disorders, including depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder, schizophrenia, personality disorders, substance abuse issues and a range of other psychological problems. We also can see children who present with behavioural issues, anxiety, and mood disorders.
Referral Pathways
Many people who come to see a psychologist at Next Door Psychology are referred through their GP under a Mental Health Care Plan. Other referrals can be made through NDIS, Workcover, TAC, Victims of Crime and lawyers. In addition, other agencies in the community may refer a person for other assessment or treatment, including cognitive or educational assessments or forensic assessments.
Refugee Clients
We can see refugees from a range of culturally diverse backgrounds, and we regularly utilise interpreters in our counseling sessions. Referrals can be made by GPs through the North West Melbourne Primary Care Network Care in Mind program.
