Child, Adolescent & Adult Psychology
Welcome to Kare Psychology
At Kare Psychology, our psychologists use a client-centered therapeutic approach to work collaboratively with their patients to enhance their quality of life and overall well-being. Our psychologists use evidence-based interventions when working with clients and have a range of expertise and highly developed skills to achieve positive therapeutic outcomes with their clients. Our special interest areas include ADHD, OCD, anxiety disorders, ASD and Educational Assessments.
We strive to provide a calm and secure therapy environment to reduce the level of distress clients often report feeling when seeing a psychologist.
