therapeutic approach
Surf Your Mind provides online psychology services through videoconference for the treatment of depression and anxiety disorders in older teenagers and adults. Clinical and Forensic Psychologist, Michelle Wharton is a registered Medicare Provider and registered with the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA).
Please note; During current COVID-19 conditions, all Medicare-eligible Australians can now receive a Telehealth service (have therapy via videoconference) and still claim a Medicare rebate under your mental health treatment plan. Please NOTE that online therapy isn’t for everyone and referrals are assessed on a case-by-case basis for suitability. A service will only be provided where it is considered safe and clinically appropriate to do so. The assessment process can take some time so you should allow at least 10 days between sending through your referral information and booking your first appointment.
