ABOUT

ABOUT MINDFUL RECOVERY SERVICES

EVIDENCE-BASED CLINICAL SERVICES

At Mindful Recovery Services, we are passionate about providing effective, evidence-based therapy on the NSW Central Coast and beyond. Our approach is tailored to each individual's needs and goals, in order to create and support lasting change.

While our clinical team provides a range of evidence-based psychological therapies, we all specialise in DBT. DBT is considered the gold-standard treatment for borderline personality disorder, self-harming behaviours, and suicidality. Given how comprehensive DBT is, it is also highly effective for the treatment and management of many mental health challenges including but not limited to:
