We specialise in supporting the mental health of young people and their families from the ages of 0 - 25 years, that is, from the perinatal period right through to early adulthood. We pride ourselves on only working within this age group focusing on offering a wholistic and individualised approach to our patient’s care. We provide effective, evidence based assessment and treatment for anxiety, depression, emotional dysregulation, behavioural, neurodevelopmental, early childhood and eating issues. We also provide psychometric assessments which can be a way to determine a child or young person's strengths and needs.
At The Younger Years we are a team of dedicated, compassionate and energetic clinicians who keep the therapeutic relationship central to change.
We are located in a quaint and discrete cottage in the Inner West, the environment is calming and nurturing. It's here that psychological support is tailored to the individual needs of the young person and their family.
