Services
Autism Spectrum Disorder Support
We provide tailored support for children and adolescents with autism spectrum disorder. Our services include assessments, skill development programs, and strategies to improve communication and emotional regulation. Interventions are designed to meet individual needs while supporting families and caregivers in creating structured environments that foster growth and positive outcomes.
Comprehensive Assessments
Our detailed psychological assessments identify learning, developmental, and mental health needs through evidence-based methods. Each assessment includes a comprehensive report with actionable recommendations for families, educators, and healthcare professionals. Reports are typically available within six weeks of completing the assessment process, including analysis of collateral information like questionnaires.
Behaviour Support Plans
We develop individualised behaviour support plans following detailed assessments of specific challenges. These plans incorporate evidence-based strategies to guide families, caregivers, and educators in fostering positive behavioural changes. Our approach focuses on understanding underlying issues while implementing structured interventions that promote emotional regulation and improved social interactions in home and educational settings.
EMDR Therapy
EMDR therapy helps children and adolescents process traumatic experiences through structured, evidence-based techniques. This approach reduces distress associated with traumatic memories while supporting emotional healing. Sessions focus on identifying triggers, developing coping strategies, and building resilience to improve overall mental well-being for young people facing complex emotional challenges.
Telehealth Services
Our telehealth services provide accessible psychological support for children, adolescents, and families across regional areas. Using secure video conferencing, we deliver assessments, therapy sessions, and parent consultations while maintaining the same evidence-based standards as in-person appointments. This service ensures continuity of care for clients who face geographical or mobility barriers to attending our Newcastle clinic.

Had educational testing here for both my university aged child and high school aged child, neither of whom had testing when younger. Their assessments were scheduled in a very timely manner, they were dealt with in a very professional way, and the results were clear, quickly given, and proved helpful for both kids in their continuing education process. I would, and have, highly recommended this office to anyone who would benefit from educational testing.

I have just placed a phone call to this agency, and was quoted $3,000-$5,000 for a simple personality disorder assessment. After calls to other psychologists-who charge on average 200-260$ an hour and have told me this is a one to two hour process- I am having trouble understanding where the extra few thousand comes from. When I asked the receptionist- her answer was "We have the right to charge whichever rates we wish". This is pure capitalization of people having a difficult time in Covid times, who become desperate and call the agency looking for help. I am in shock and extremely disappointed

The worst services provided by this clinic so far in the area.
Poorest customer service to negligible attention paid towards customers needs. I am very disappointed from this and wont go at this place ever again. If you value your money and looking for real solutions, this aint your place.

Do not waste your time here. My husband has paid hundreds of dollars, only to have an initial "assessment" and then have another "assessment". Now nothing is happening since his counselor canceled his appointment over two weeks ago and isn't calling back to make another supposedly weekly appointment. Do not waste your time and energy. Buyer beware.

I will never be able to thank the team at Waystone enough for the enlightenment and power over my mind they gave me. It's not an exaggeration to say that I was on the path to losing my career, and now only a few months later I am excelling.

We brought our son here for an ADHD assessment and were exceptionally happy with the services provided by Kyle and Sarah. The assessment was very detailed and easy to understand, and provided us with great recommendations to help our son. THANK YOU!

Unfortunately, we are not able to provide a positive review for Kyle Mueller. Our experience was quite concerning. Enough to have Kyle Mueller removed from the OCDSB as a referral to families looking for a psycho educational assessment for their children. There was a severe and prolonged disorder our child was dealing with that Kyle did not mention in a follow up report. He missed it entirely. When you first meet Kyle this next statement would seem highly out of character. We too, were very shocked. Our child faced a sudden, and impacting loss.
