Mullum Road Psychologists

Eastern Suburbs of Melbourne - Eltham, Ringwood, Croydon  and Warrandyte

ABOUT MULLUM ROAD

Mullum Road first began at our Ringwood location in 2009. We have since expanded to locations in Croydon, Warrandyte and Eltham, providing therapy for adults, adolescents, children, families, and couples, with a particular focus on Autism, ADHD, gender/sexual diversity and Animal Assisted Therapy. We work predominantly with neurodivergent  individuals using a neuro-affirming approach. 

We provide a supportive and friendly team environment to enable you to make effective changes for your clients. We are seeking psychologists to join our friendly and enthusiastic team at Warrandtye and Croydon. 

Our clinics lend themselves to incorporating “walk and talk”, nature- and bush-based therapy and Animal Assisted Therapy (AAT) into your work. Naturally room-based work is also involved, however we encourage creative and experiential approaches to therapy . 

We are looking for dynamic psychologists with strong interpersonal skills to work with adults, adolescents and children. Experience working with adults and adolescents will be highly regarded, however prior private practice experience is not necessary. An interest in working with the LGBTQIA+ community would be highly regarded.
