Gold Psychology

Gold Psychology is an establishment located in Mill Park, Australia. As a health-focused institution, we prioritize the well-being of our clients and offer support for various psychological concerns, particularly those related to eating disorders and body image.

Our lead psychologist, Dr. [Name], is highly qualified with a Bachelor's of Behavioral Science (with Honours) and a Doctorate of Clinical Psychology from La Trobe University. With her expertise, she is dedicated to providing the best possible care to individuals seeking assistance in overcoming their personal struggles.

One of the primary areas of focus at Gold Psychology is supporting people with eating disorders and body image concerns. Binge eating disorder is a serious condition that involves recurrent episodes of consuming large quantities of food in a short period, often leading to a sense of distress and lack of control. We understand that this disorder differs from occasional overeating, as it impacts individuals emotionally and psychologically.

In addition to binge eating disorder, we also address emotional or comfort eating. This behavior involves using food as a coping mechanism to soothe emotions and seek comfort, often leading to overeating and temporary relief from emotional discomfort. Our aim is to help individuals develop healthier coping mechanisms and establish a more positive relationship with food.

Furthermore, we provide support for individuals who are planning to undergo or have undergone weight-loss surgery. While we do not promote these procedures, we are here to assist individuals in developing a healthy relationship with food and their body. Body image concerns, such as dissatisfaction, self-consciousness, or a distorted view of one's body, can significantly impact self-esteem and mental well-being. At Gold Psychology, we aim to address these concerns and offer guidance towards a healthier body image.

Our services also extend to individuals with bulimia nervosa, an eating disorder characterized by a recurring cycle of binge-eating followed by purging or other compensatory behaviors. We understand the sense of loss of control that accompanies binge episodes and aim to help individuals manage their weight and emotions in a healthier way.

For those with eating or feeding-related issues that do not meet the specific criteria for anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, or binge eating disorder, we offer support under the category of Other Specified Eating or Feeding Disorders (OSFED). This inclusive category allows us to diagnose and address a range of eating behaviors and patterns, ensuring that individuals experiencing significant eating-related challenges receive the necessary care.

At Gold Psychology, we welcome individuals from the LGBTIQA community, people living with disabilities, and those who identify as neurodivergent. We provide a culturally-sensitive practice that respects and caters to individual choices and preferences in therapy. We understand that each person's definition of health and wellness may vary, and we strive to accommodate those differences.

Our approach to therapy is rooted in research-backed techniques, ensuring that our clients receive quality care. We aim to empower our clients by providing them with the tools to self-manage and live fulfilling lives. Collaboration in treatment and recovery is highly valued at Gold Psychology, as we believe that working together leads to the best outcomes.

If you or someone you know is struggling with binge eating disorder, body image concerns, or any other eating-related challenges, Gold Psychology is here to help. With our empathetic and safe therapeutic environment, we are committed to supporting you on your journey towards a healthier relationship with food and your body. Together, we can overcome personal struggles and achieve lasting well-being.
