Dr Kate Alessia

Welcome to Dr Kate Alessia, a leading establishment in clinical psychology services for adults and children in Adelaide and the surrounding areas. Located at 1A Station Place, Hindmarsh, our institution is dedicated to providing exceptional mental health care and support.

We understand that making the decision to seek help or engage in therapy can be challenging. It takes courage to open up about the issues that are causing distress in your life. That's why we prioritize creating a safe and trusting environment where you can freely express yourself. Our team believes that effective therapy goes beyond training and experience; it requires genuine engagement and empathy.

Therapy is for everyone. We all have patterns of thinking, reacting, and behaving that may not serve our best interests or are no longer needed. Similarly, we possess inner resources and strengths that we may not be aware of. Through therapy, we aim to address immediate issues while equipping you with the necessary skills to tackle future challenges.

Our approach focuses on short-term therapy, which has been proven to yield long-lasting results in the minimum time possible. However, we also offer longer-term therapy for those who require it, as well as periodic 'mental health booster' sessions to maintain progress.

At Dr Kate Alessia, we provide therapy and assessments for individuals of all ages, from childhood to late adulthood. Whether you're seeking therapy as an individual, couple, or family group, our team is here to support you. Our assessments encompass a range of areas, including learning disorders, intellectual ability evaluation, vocational assessment, and diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder.

We are equipped to address a wide spectrum of human issues, including depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, grief, stress management, work-related challenges, trauma, relationship issues, and life changes. Please note that we do not provide therapy to sexual offenders or write legal reports.

Dr Kate Alessia holds impressive qualifications, including a Doctor of Psychology (Clinical), Graduate Diploma of Counselling Psychology, Bachelor of Arts (Psychology), and Bachelor of Social Work. With over 20 years of experience in private practice, she brings a wealth of expertise and a diverse range of work settings to her clients.

As a member of the Australian Psychological Society, Dr Kate Alessia is an accredited Clinical Psychologist with Medicare and a registered provider of services for private health funds. Our institution is conveniently located in Hindmarsh, less than 5km from the Adelaide CBD.
