Totally Psyched

About Totally Psyched

Totally Psyched is a specialist outpatient mental health practice supporting children, adolescents, young adults and their families. Based in Takapuna on Auckland’s North Shore, the clinic brings together psychologists, psychiatrists, counsellors, educational specialists and play-based practitioners in a welcoming, youth-friendly environment. Care is evidence-based, personalised and designed around each young person’s developmental needs, strengths and goals. The team works with concerns such as ADHD, anxiety, depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder, stress and trauma, using approaches that include CBT, DBT, ACT, EMDR, narrative therapy, mindfulness and play therapy. Family involvement is an important part of the Totally Psyched approach. Depending on the young person’s needs, care may include individual counselling, family therapy, group work, parent support or coordination between psychological and psychiatric clinicians. Neurodevelopmental, cognitive and educational assessments are also available for young people requiring greater clarity about learning, attention or developmental differences. This is a private outpatient service rather than a residential rehabilitation centre, allowing clients to attend appointments while continuing to live at home and participate in school, work and family life. The current clinic is located close to central Takapuna’s shops, public transport and community amenities.
