About Us

Relational Minds is a unique, multidisciplinary team of professionals who are passionate about the mental health of children and their families. We are a team of experienced psychiatrists, psychologists, social workers, art therapists, nurses, mental health clinicians and other contractors who take a collaborative and holistic approach to mental health care. We believe that our integrated approach, built on the principles of playfulness, acceptance, curiosity and empathy can help families take steps towards healing and recovery.
