Melbourne Health Psychology Centre (MHPC) provides unique evidence-based treatment for a wide range of psychological problems. At MHPC we firmly believe that for therapy to be most effective it is essential to uncover and address ‘core’ problems that underlie client issues, rather than simply treat presenting symptoms. MHPC empowers clients with psychological knowledge and skills to achieve personal fulfillment and psychological growth and it is our holistic approach that minimises the recurrence of psychological problems for our clients in the future.
The MHPC key values are integrity and thriving for excellence.
