Therapy for kids

ThinkWise recognises that kids can experience their own set of personal challenges.
Our child clinical team utilises a strengths-based therapeutic approach to assisting children in managing a variety of issues.

Our child and adolescent team members are experienced in assessing and working with the social, emotional and behavioural wellbeing of children and their families, and tailoring treatment to most appropriately meet those needs.

Our clinicians utilise a variety of therapeutic approaches in working with children including cognitive behaviour therapy, motivational interviewing, acceptance and commitment therapy, mindfulness, circle of security, dyadic therapy and virtual reality therapy.

Please note that we are unable to complete ADHD or Autism assessments at this time.
