Clinic

Welcome to the cairnmillar clinics

The Cairnmillar Clinic represents the clinical services arm of the Cairnmillar Institute.

Our clinics are located across Melbourne, with each offering a range of services to our clients. See our clinic locations here.

Our clinics work towards taking the latest findings in research and teaching in the field of mental health and converting that into therapeutic outcomes for our clients. We have experienced clinicians offering psychological, counseling and assessment services across a broad range of presentations to children (ages 4+), adolescents, adults, parents, couples and families.

These experienced clinicians also work alongside our students in their final years to mentor them in providing services in general and focused areas of psychology, counseling & psychotherapy. Our student clinicians work in our Cairnmillar Community Clinic, offering free one on one counseling and low-cost assessment services.

All of our services are affirming of diversity, including neurodiversity, gender diversity, and sexuality diversity. We believe that #BetterMentalHealth should be accessible for everyone.
