AddressOur practice, Michelle Barratt Psychology was established in 2012. Over the years, we have assisted many clients with their mental health needs; including adolescents, couples and families.
We practice in two locations: Toowong, minutes out of Brisbane City Centre and Wynnum West, to the east of the city. We have Psychologists who practice either in one clinic or across both locations.
We have worked very hard over the years to develop systems within the practice that endeavours to make administration processes supportive and efficient which allows you the psychologist more time on the treatment care of your clients. We value servicing our clients' unique, and individual needs as well as making our environment as welcoming and as open as possible. Supporting the tireless work of our Psychologists, we prioritise accommodating flexible schedules that will help in advancing your professional career as well as be available for your family.
Our clinic supports a wide range or presentations; from depression, anxiety and stress management to Bipolar, BPD and ADHD. We do however, have a strong focus on supporting adolescents and their parents/family, managing emotional dysregulation and improving healthy communication through teaching skills of DBT, Schema Therapy and CBT. these interventions uphold the integral value of the Practitioners within the organisation that aspires to build healthier relationships and achieve their goals throughout the lifespan of the individual. Overall, your experience in the Practice will likely be that of a Health Practitioner supported by a Community, where from the moment Admin receives your client, they will manage the intricate care of their intake to their journey in your office where you will be able to assess the unique treatment of your clients.
Over the course of your career with us, you will be able to provide psychological therapy to clients with a wide range of needs that are within your ethical capacity, to children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families; depending on your area of expertise of course. However, there will likely be many areas of opportunity for you to grow, learn and develop. We sincerely welcome your commitment to our ever growing Practice and would like to invite your submission of your Cover Letter and Resume.
