Hello! I’m Rocky (Rocco), a registered psychologist and proud member of the LGBTQIA+ community. I’m passionate about creating a safe, inclusive space where individuals feel empowered to explore their thoughts, identities, and experiences without fear of judgment.
I hold a Master of Educational and Developmental Psychology from Monash University and have experience working in both public school systems and private settings. I work with children, adolescents, young adults, and families, providing both therapy and psychological assessments.
I am especially passionate about working with autistic and ADHD individuals, those navigating anxiety, and members of the LGBTQIA+ community. As a gay male therapist, I bring personal insight and deep respect for the importance of affirming, identity-safe care.
In addition to therapy, I offer assessments for children, adolescents, and young adults, including:
Cognitive and educational assessments
ADHD assessments
Autism assessments
I also offer animal-assisted therapy with my dogs, Milo and Koda, embracing the powerful connection between humans and animals to enhance comfort, engagement, and therapeutic outcome
