Services Offered
We provide counselling and psychology services to individuals, children, adolescents and couples.
Our psychologists use a range of empirically supported psychotherapeutic interventions to promote behaviour change and interpersonal functioning, as well as to enhance emotional and psychological wellbeing. Our approach is supportive, and practitioners draw on both theoretical and experiential evidence to assist clients in understanding and overcoming their challenges.
Ripple Psychology is one of the few clinics on the Sunshine Coast to offer EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing). EMDR is the emerging treatment of choice for recovery from trauma, and has recently been endorsed as such by the World Health Organisation. As well as its primary application in treating PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder), the approach is also effective in treating pain, depression, anxiety and other disorders.
Being a parent today is challenging but we are here to help. We provide psychological services for children, adolescents and parents to help create happy families who understand each other's needs.
All Ripple Psychologists take a holistic approach to assisting children and their families, and will expect you the parent or carer to play an active part in working with us to establish solutions. Where appropriate, and with your express permission, liaison with the child's school and its support staff will be explored as well. The wealth of knowledge regarding your child that schools can contribute is invaluable.

If You Call, Please Let Us Know How it Went:
Were You Able to Make an Appointment?
One quick last question. Who was seeking counseling today?
Do you know the reason they are not accepting clients?
A community counseling agency is a group therapy practice that offers affordable mental health services. Most are independent non-profit agencies, state agencies, or publicly-funded agencies. A few may restrict who is eligible for services, so it is a good idea to check when you call.
Community counseling agencies are generally more affordable than other therapy providers, but how much more affordable they are will depend on whether you qualify for a discount or sliding scale fee (or if they accept your insurance). Many, but not all, have a policy that they won't turn away anyone due to inability to pay. You should ask about their fees when you first call.
Expect to talk to kind people who want to help you find the care you need. Most community agencies strive to connect you with a live person within 24 hours, if not immediately. If you're asked to hold or leave a message, don't give up; just leave a message and wait. You should hear back pretty quickly.
Most agencies try to set up an initial assessment appointment within a week (some do within 24 hours), though the waitlist to start therapy is usually longer—about a few weeks on average. If you're not eligible or if the agency is not right for you, it's usually still worth it to call or drop in, because staff are knowledgeable about local options and can often refer you to one.
