Dr Stephanie Stewart
I am a registered psychologist located in Fitzroy, Melbourne.
I am formally trained, with a PhD and Master of Clinical Psychology from the University of Melbourne. In my practice, I draw primarily on Internal Family Systems therapy (IFS), Mindful Self-compassion and Trauma-informed Practice. I am also trained to practice Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing (MI) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and am qualified to conduct ADHD assessments. My approach is grounded in lived experience expertise, or knowledge generated by people who have accessed or been subject to psy-professionals.
I invite you to schedule a call with me, to ask me any questions you have and learn more about whether I might be a good fit for you.
I offer therapy sessions to individuals aged 18 or older, and charge $220 per 50 minute session (though a limited number of reduced fee spots are available).
Under the Medicare Better Access program, Medicare card holders with a Mental Health Care Plan are entitled to a rebate of $96.65 of their fee, for up to 10 sessions per calendar year. With a rebate, the typical out of pocket expense for a session is $123.00.
To receive a rebate through Medicare, you must have a valid referral from a GP, psychiatrist or paediatrician. When you visit your doctor, make sure to have my name, address and phone number on hand.
You do not need a referral if you are paying privately or claiming a rebate through private health insurance.
I offer comprehensive ADHD assessment as part of my practice. This process can take between 3-4 sessions, and includes:
Please note additional fees will be charged, should you request a formal report detailing assessment results.
Note also that psychiatrists will likely conduct their own ADHD assessment before prescribing stimulant medication (the first line pharmacological option). If you know you would like to get started on medication, I recommend you book in with a psychiatrist for assessment in the first instance.
For ongoing support associated with an ADHD diagnosis, individual therapy sessions are available (see above for details).
Please use the following form to organise a 15 minute (free) intake call with me. During this call, you can ask me any questions you have, and get a feel for what it’s like to talk to me. If we both feel comfortable moving forwards, we can then schedule a first session together.
