Who are we?

Care For Your Mind is a private practice with an integrative and evidence-based approach to client care with our main office located in Bendigo and outreach office based in Castlemaine.

We provide counselling and psychotherapy and psychological assessments to adults, children, young people & their families. We offer individual, couple and family counselling.

We have a diverse client base with a range of presentations.

Therapists tend to see 4-6 clients per day with breaks allocated in between or in larger blocksdependent on how you work best.

We value quality therapeutic practice over the quantity of client hours you do, therefore there is opportunity to practice your own self-care between sessions and with other clinicians in the clinic.

We highly value who the occupational therapist is as a person and how this benefits client outcomes through values such as authenticity and integrity in the work you do.

We offer a range of appointment times depending on what works for you and your schedule.

What we provide:

We offer highly competitive remuneration, warm and welcoming consultation and therapy rooms, full administrative support and a highly qualified clinical team. We offer flexibility in what hours you work, regular peer supervision, large existing referral network and a wide variety of clinical presentations to work with. We provide you with access to practice management software, access to a plethora of evidence-based resources, in addition to professional development opportunities.

Our clinical space is warm, inviting and tailored to ensure both therapists and clients alike can do the work that therapy requires.

In essence, your focus is on clients and professional development as a therapist, and we take care of the rest.
