Providing Melbourne families with holistic Child Psychiatrist, Child Psychologist and Family Therapy services
Relational Minds provides family focused services in psychiatry, psychology, and mental health education. Based in Melbourne and Mildura, we specialise in the mental health assessment and care of families with children, adolescents and young adults who suffer from mental illness.
Our brand of child and adolescent mental health care is built on the principles of Dyadic Developmental Psychotherapy. Our practice is driven by the attitude of Playfulness, Acceptance, Curiosity and Empathy.
Family Care makes us different
At Relational Minds, we believe relationships are the key to healing and repair. We will care for your family first, so you can care for your young person. We aim to understand and support your family system, and we will work together to build confidence in promoting your young person’s emotional development and recovery from mental illness.
