I'm Dr Maria Syed and I offer confidential, neurodiversity affirming ADHD and Autism assessments and therapy to adolescents (12+) and adults. For assessments, I follow a comprehensive, best-practice process that includes clinical interviews, standardised measures, collateral information where relevant, and a detailed written report. In therapy, I draw on Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), and mindfulness-based approaches. I hold a PhD in Psychology from Deakin University, where my research compared the effectiveness of cognitive training and mindfulness on working memory and mood.
At Mindlab Psychology, the bulk of my work is with ADHD, autism and Borderline Personality, and I support the challenges that often come alongside them such as anxiety, emotional regulation difficulties, low self-esteem, relationship challenges, and burnout.
I also hold a Graduate Diploma in Adolescent Health and Wellbeing from the University of Melbourne, which informs how I work with teens and young adults navigating school and relationships. All sessions are via telehealth, so you can access support from anywhere in Australia.
