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:

Personality Disorder
Anxiety & Depression
Trauma & Stress
Eating Disorders
Drug & Alcohol
Self Harm
Suicidality
Mental Health Challenges
