Welcome to Steps. We are a child, adolescent and young adult mental health clinic. Our services include psychiatric care and therapy interventions to support clients and families struggling with a range of concerns including attention difficulties, anxiety, mood concerns, trauma, learning difficulties and dealing with grief and loss.
We work closely with individuals who may have been diagnosed with ADHD, OCD, Anxiety Disorders and Learning Disabilities among other difficulties. A large part of our efforts include focusing on educating and empowering families on how they can support their child.
We believe it is very important to spend time getting to know the client to allow us to gain the greatest possible insight into the client's issues. Our focus on individuals allows us to see how they respond to different situations, approach tasks and handle success and/or frustration—in effect, helping us to gain a thorough understanding of the issue. This insight is used to design and implement a comprehensive, customised treatment plan for the client.
PSYCHIATRY SERVICES
A great deal of care is taken to understand the struggles the client and family is facing. Caregivers or clients are required to complete a detailed intake form, assessment and screening forms which are used to arrive at the eventual diagnosis. A customised, individual plan is then created for the client. In the case of children this is done in collaboration with the family.
INDIVIDUAL THERAPY
We provide individual therapy for our clients. Our team of highly experienced psychologists create a safe, open and collaborative space for our clients to re-author their stories and work towards preferred ways of being.
Therapy sessions last for 50 mins and are typically weekly.
SUPPORT GROUPS AND GROUP THERAPY
Group therapy provides a consistent, safe and open space where a community of people work with a mental health expert on common goals. We work with adolescents, young adults and adults on a wide variety of subjects including stress and anxiety management, grief, loss, trauma, life transitions and adjustment difficulties.
Group sessions last between 60 mins and 90 mins. These could be weekly or bi-weekly depending on the needs of the group.
MENTAL HEALTH INTERVENTIONS AT ORGANISATIONS AND SCHOOLS
We partner closely with organisations to build and implement mental health and well-being programs.
Our mental health interventions address a variety of issues including stress, anxiety, fatigue, grief, bullying and harassment.
