So-An Lao Clinical Psychologist

I am a clinical psychologist and a board-approved supervisor with extensive experience working in public mental health. I have been a resident of the Dandenong Ranges in the past few years and have come to appreciate how a natural environment can calm our nervous system and connect us back to rhythms that support life. I draw upon this grounding when I offer support to others, when regular ways of coping have been overwhelmed during stressful times, and they struggle to see a way forward. I understand that people's experiences are complex and sometimes standard treatment may not work. Sometimes people heal through talking, while others need to experience something different for change to seem possible. I specialise in a multi-modal approach utilising evidence-based and emerging therapies to help you achieve your health goals. Just like a fern frond knows it is time to unfurl, our mind and body knows how to heal so that you can grow into who you were always meant to be. Our work is to allow this to happen.
