Anxiety Disorders
Our anxiety disorder specialists address generalised anxiety, social anxiety, and stress management through evidence-based therapies. We combine cognitive-behavioural strategies with trauma-informed care to develop personalised treatment plans. Our clinicians help patients build resilience and implement effective coping mechanisms for lasting recovery.
TMS Therapy
Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation offers medication-free depression treatment using magnetic pulses to stimulate underactive brain regions. This TGA-approved outpatient procedure requires no sedation, allowing immediate return to daily activities. Our technicians deliver 20-30 minute sessions with minimal side effects like temporary scalp discomfort.
Adult ADHD
Specialist psychiatrists address attention deficit disorders in adults through comprehensive assessments and tailored treatment plans. We manage co-existing conditions like anxiety and OCD while developing organisational strategies. Our approach combines psychoeducation with pharmacotherapy to improve daily functioning and reduce emotional dysregulation.
Psychosis Treatment
Our team specialises in diagnosing and managing psychotic disorders through early intervention programs. We provide ongoing support combining antipsychotic medication with cognitive behavioural therapy. Treatment focuses on symptom management, relapse prevention, and social reintegration for improved quality of life.

Report
Don't recommend. will give you a diagnosis but will not offer any support. I asked Dr sareen per victim assists request to sign a document for me that helped me get literally $10k. he refused to sign this document for me but only told me after I had waited 3 months. I ended up going to a random doctor immediately after and he signed it for me no problems. don't go here unless you want someone that's going to waste your time. He also immediately cut me off when I hadn't paid for one of our assessments ignoring the fact that if he had just signed that document from the beginning I could have paid
