Anita Wong
Psychotherapist, MPsych, ACA-L3
Serves Area
You've done the work. You can name your patterns, explain where they came from, and describe exactly what they cost you. That understanding is real. It just hasn't changed how you feel, and that gap — between knowing and feeling — is where most talk therapy stops. I'm a psychotherapist with a Master of Psychotherapy and Counselling from Western Sydney University and membership with the Australian Counselling Association. I work with high-functioning women who are not new to therapy and are still stuck somewhere insight doesn't reach.

Be Therapy
Social Worker, AMHSW
Serves Area
I'm an Accredited Mental Health Social Worker and EMDR therapist offering long-term, depth-oriented individual therapy for adults. Using EMDR and Internal Family Systems (IFS), I work with clients to explore how early experiences and relationships shape present-day emotions, patterns, and difficulties — and to gradually process and integrate what's been carried for a long time. My approach is relational, trauma-informed, and grounded in social work values. Alongside complex trauma, I have particular interests in perinatal mental health and adjustment to parenthood, and in grief and loss across life transitions.

Psychologist, MPsych, PsyBA Prov
Fremantle, WA 6160
There are many reasons why we can feel disconnected in today's modern society. We can lose touch with who we are, what matters most to us or what gives our life a sense of meaning and direction. You might be feeling lonely, anxious, sad, confused or unsure how to move forward. You may be feeling stuck and needing support to find your way through. It can be daunting taking the first step and letting yourself be seen by someone, but I believe that when we create a safe, trusting space, you have the potential to transform your life, befriend your emotions and be free to live your life on your terms.

FAQ - Teenage and Adolescent Therapists
What does therapy for teenagers look like?
When a therapist works with a teenager, the pair will talk about what the teen is struggling with and explore solutions, which may involve interpersonal skills, coping strategies, medication, or lifestyle changes related to sleep, diet, and exercise. Different therapists employ different modalities, but most involve a combination of conversation and skill building.

How long does therapy for teenagers generally take to work?
There’s variability in teenagers’ experiences and challenges; some may begin to improve from therapy within a few weeks while others may take several months or longer. Teens can discuss their progress with their therapist periodically to assess how they’re improving and any changes to the treatment plan that could potentially accelerate that progress.

How do you encourage a teenager to go to therapy?
It’s helpful to express your concern and love while framing therapy as an opportunity to explore a tool that could help improve their life; just like they practice baseball or dance, now they can practice their emotional skills. Give your teen control over the process where you can—maybe by weighing in on choice of therapist and signaling that therapy involves confidentiality, so a parent need not know all that is discussed in sessions.

How do you prepare teens for therapy?
You can prepare your teenager for therapy by describing what the process will look like and setting expectations for timeline, if requested. You can explain that the first session may begin with an assessment phase, that they can describe their experiences but that the therapist will ask questions too, and that it may take time to feel comfortable opening up. Ask how they’re feeling about the process and answer any questions calmly and supportively.
