Integrating contemporary and emerging psychological care with a nervous system-informed approach on the Gold Coast
Our vision
At Phoenix Integrative Health we are a progressive mental health practice conveniently located in the heart of the Gold Coast. We provide opportunities to connect in person, in our Bundall clinic, as well as via telehealth services across Australia.
At Phoenix Integrative Health, we want to bring people together for transformation, growth, and healing.
INDIVIDUALISED CARE
Our team is a health collective, with experienced health practitioners working together as a multidisciplinary team to provide individually tailored care to meet your needs. Our multidisciplinary team is comprised of a psychiatrist, a clinical psychologist, breathwork facilitators, and other health practitioners.
We understand that there isn't a one size fits all approach to mental health, so we aim to provide a range of evidence-based therapeutic modalities for an approach that's as unique as you (see our Team page for more information on treatment options). In addition to providing established evidence-based, mental health treatments and therapies, we provide new integrative treatment pathways for treatment-resistant depression and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
At Phoenix Integrative Health, our aim is to provide additional, emerging treatments for those individuals for whom traditional treatments are not working.
PROGRESSIVE AND COMMITTED TO BEST PRACTICE
We are dedicated to best practice and advancing the quality of mental health services and the experience of people who access them. We take pride in staying up to date with current research and treatment developments and strive to be on the forefront of mental health care, particularly for those individuals feeling stuck with difficult to treat depression and trauma based conditions (e.g., PTSD).
