Who we are

get to know us...

We pride ourselves in providing the highest standard of treatment for Selective Mutism. All of the Psychologists at the Selective Mutism Clinic have a Masters or Doctorate Degree, and all Speech Pathologists have a Bachelor and/or Masters Degree. All clinicians are registered with their corresponding professional body (AHPRA or Speech Pathology Australia). All clinicians have extensive training and experience in the treatment of Selective Mutism, receive regular supervision and attend ongoing professional development meetings to keep up-to-date with the latest techniques for Selective Mutism. We are continuously expanding our knowledge about Selective Mutism and developing new ideas to implement for our treatment program. Our Psychologists also provide general psychological treatment to children through our psychology clinic: MindBox Psychology. Certain members of the team can also deliver therapy in Cantonese, Mandarin, and Korean.​
