ABOUT US
At Innerbloom Psychology, we aim to provide a collaborative and supportive approach to therapeutic care for young people. We are a boutique clinic operating from Hawthorn East and focus on creating a space that is safe and thriving for all. Our practice is focused on providing holistic, individually tailored and evidence-based practice that is accessible and engaging for children, adults, young people and their families. We started operating in 2020, probably the most difficult but necessary year to expand our services to the community.
Innerbloom Psychology offers a range of services to make meaningful change in people's lives. This can include individual therapy, group programs, parent-child sessions, diagnostic assessments and consultation with key members of a child's system (i.e. teachers, school wellbeing, extended family members). We believe that working with the whole person helps us gain a better understanding of their needs and areas to develop.
