Alberto has such a wonderful, caring team who are super supportive and knowledgeable around neurodivergence. Our family has been with Relational Minds for years and we cannot recommend them highly enough. Special thanks to Lani Kent who has always gone above and beyond and made navigating the system so much easier. She’s a superstar! Also a shout out to William and Israel for their past and ongoing care and support.

I can not recommend Lani and the team at Relational Minds enough. I have worked in social services for over twenty years and I have never seen a mental health assessment and reports done as perfectly as those provided by Lani and the team at Relational Minds. The team at this service performed a multimodal assessment on a young man whose existing care team had neglected to see the need for a full and proper ASD assessment. Not only did the highly skilled staff at relational minds complete an incredibly thorough assessment, they diagnosed Autism to a significant degree. This diagnosis was explained to all in the care team in two beautifully written reports that explained the testing and the results in a manner that was easily accessible to everyone who read it. If you want top quality mental health assessments and services, PLEASE work with Relational Minds. They're magnificent!

Our family were without support for a long time; yes it takes a while to find the right team. As parents we have tried many things and was desperately seeking help. Dr Alberto and his team of professional staff are always invested in the wellbeing of the child and the whole family in a holistic view. Our son has been slowly engaging with all therapists. We are so appreciative with all that you are doing. Email Email Email if you need to get through or change appointments, pretty much anything you must do this! The ladies are very helpful and work extremely hard. They are the for front of the business. Don’t give up on this service. The clinic is clean bright and very welcoming. Great job everyone!!!!

From a scared mum not knowing what the assessment faze would look like for my son I worked with Maddi and Alberto to talk through the needs of my child to help me better understand and support him. Very responsive, understanding & helpful. Thank you again team for the support.
