We use a range of solution-focused strategies to address issues such as anxiety, depression, behavioural difficulties, social difficulties, and school refusal. Our staff include Ida Shapievsky, the founder of Psychological Assessment Solutions. Ida has a Bachelor of Science (Psychology), a Post Graduate Diploma (Psychology), and a Diploma in Psychological Practice.

As a mother herself, Ida understands the worries and concerns that parents face, and she is committed to helping children make easy and stress-free transitions that will guide and benefit them as they progress from childhood into their adult lives.

Appointments

Making an appointment is easy - there is no need for a doctor's referral unless you are claiming through Medicare, in which case this will need to be discussed with your GP or pediatrician first. Parents are encouraged to come on their own to the initial consultation, as many children find the process of waiting outside the room while their parents talk about them to be very anxiety-provoking.
