What We Offer
We utilise a range of techniques including cognitive-behavioural therapy, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and psychotherapy to treat a wide range of sleep problems and sleep disorders in adults, including:
* Insomnia
* Sleep difficulties occurring with mental health issues such as depression and anxiety
* Circadian rhythm disorders
* Planned withdrawal and support for withdrawal from sleeping medication
* Shift-work adjustment
* Excessive daytime sleepiness
* Narcolepsy and idiopathic hypersomnia
* Nightmares, sleepwalking
* Difficulties with CPAP compliance
Each session runs for 50 minutes and costs $245 during business hours and $270 for after hours sessions (5pm onwards). Medicare rebates (currently $137.05 per session) are available for up to 10 sessions per calendar year with a Mental Health Care Plan referral from your GP or a referral from your psychiatrist. Quiet Minds Psychology is not a bulk billing practice. You may be entitled to private health insurance rebates, but check with your insurer first.
We currently offer face-to-face appointments during business hours in our St Kilda Road Towers office. We also offer business hours telehealth appointments via a secure online platform similar to Zoom. We hope to have some after hours telehealth appointments become available in the next few months.
Quiet Minds Psychology is not currently accepting referrals for individuals under the age of 18 years, or those with NDIS, Workcover, TAC or DVA referrals.
