Clinical Psychologist, Glenorie
DEB HENDERSON, CLINICAL PSYCHOLOGIST WELCOMES YOU
Quality Care You Can Count On
Are you struggling with issues related to trauma, grief, addiction, anxiety, or major life changes? There comes a time when help is needed from a certified professional to cope with many of life’s challenges. I’m a registered Clinical Psychologist in the greater Glenorie area, and I’m here to support you on your journey toward healing and self-discovery.
Deb is a friendly, caring clinical psychologist who has almost 20 years experience working with children, adolescents and adults. She uses CBT, IPT, ACT and Schema Therapy to help her clients reach their goals.
She is able to treat mood disorders (Major Depression, Adjustment Disorder), anxiety disorders including phobias and social anxiety, trauma, eating disorders, and behavioural issues including ADHD and anger management.
Deb has experience and enjoys working with clients of all ages, from children of 8 years of age (and parents of younger children), up to senior clients in their later years.
THERAPY
Mental Health Plans
A mental health plan is a plan developed between you and your GP to help you reach your mental health goals. If your mental health plan includes seeing a psychologist, then you are able to access a Medicare rebate of $141.85 per session with Deb for up to 10 sessions per year. Talk to your doctor to see if you are eligible for a mental health plan.
The full cost for a session is $220, or $150 if you hold a pension or health care card. This is a significant reduction from the Australian Psychology Society recommended hourly rate for psychologists, which is $300+.
PRIVATE PATIENTS ACCEPTED
Quality Care
In my therapy sessions, we’ll work to solve current problems and improve positive thinking and behavior. I will help you “re-frame” your reactions and provide you with valuable tools to cope with life’s obstacles. I’m confident you’ll find my personalised therapy beneficial and inspirational.
A mental health plan or referral from your GP is not necessary to see a psychologist – only to receive a Medicare rebate. Anyone can make an appointment – Deb sees clients from a variety of areas.
Some rebate may be available from your private health insurance provider if you are a private patient – talk to your insurer for more information.
TEEN / ADOLESCENT MENTAL HEALTH
A Happier, Healthier You
Teenagers that have good mental health feel happier and more positive about life, they have better relationships with others and are more active in their community and social groups. Teenagers that are struggling with aspects of their identity, have poor peer or family relationships and struggle with regulating their emotions are more likely to engage in risky behaviour; including self harming, experimenting with drugs and alcohol and unsafe sex.
Most teenagers are still learning how to control their impulses, tolerate distressing situations and handle big emotions. They are often still working out the type of person they want to be. Talking to someone neutral in therapy or counselling can provide an alternate perspective to their peers – especially during a life stage where some will struggle to open up to parents.
