About Us
Welcome to Healthy Connections Clinical Psychology
Healthy Connections evolved into a multidisciplinary group practice in March 2020 – just before our Blue Mountains community, country, and world, transformed under the Covid-19 pandemic. Healthy Connections, like our Blue Mountains/Nepean neighbours, demonstrated resilience, adjusting our approach to delivering mental health care to better meet the needs of our clients. Since our opening, two weeks before the shutdown that changed so much of how we see the world, we have grown from two clinical psychologists and a psychotherapist to a team of a dozen clinicians serving infants through older adults, couples and families. We are proud of what we have achieved so far, excited to grow into a clinic that better serves our clients and region, and thankful to be a part of a determined, thriving Blue Mountains and Nepean community.
Our Mission
Our mission at Healthy Connections Clinical Psychology is to provide comprehensive, compassionate, and trauma-informed evidence-based mental health care to individuals, families, and communities in the Blue Mountains/Nepean regions of New South Wales.
As a generalist and trauma-focused mental health clinic, we are committed to meeting the unique needs of each person who seeks our services. We strive to create a safe and supportive environment where our clients can explore their thoughts, emotions, and behaviours, and develop the skills and resilience needed to overcome their challenges and improve their overall wellbeing.
At Healthy Connections Clinical Psychology, we believe in a holistic approach to mental health care, which means that we consider all aspects of a person’s life, including their physical health, relationships, cultural background, and personal values. We work collaboratively with our clients to develop individualised treatment plans that are tailored to their specific needs and goals.
We are dedicated to promoting mental health awareness and reducing the stigma surrounding mental ill-health in our community. We are committed to providing high-quality, ethical, and culturally sensitive mental health care to everyone who seeks our services, regardless of their background, gender, age, or beliefs.
In summary, our mission at Healthy Connections Clinical Psychology is to empower our clients to achieve their full potential and lead fulfilling lives by providing exceptional mental health care, promoting mental health awareness, and advocating for the well-being of our community.
