AddressAbout Us:
PsychCare Psychology & Mental Health has been a trusted provider of mental health services in Ipswich since its beginning in 2010, originally operating under the name 'PsychCare Psychology.' Over the years, our practice has expanded to include a diverse team of clinicians offering a multidisciplinary team approach to mental healthcare. This evolution led us to incorporate 'Mental Health' into our name, reflecting our commitment to comprehensive mental wellness. Today, we continue to uphold our founding values of compassion and dedication as we strive to make a positive impact on the mental health of our community.
Beginning with our flagship clinic in East Ipswich, we have since expanded our reach by opening a new clinic in Booval.
