Clinical Psychologist


Natasha Pellicano is a registered Clinical Psychologist with significant experience working in partnership with adolescents, adults and older adults to address a wide range of mental health concerns in both the private and public mental health sectors.  She has a Master’s degree in Clinical Psychology (Deakin University) and a Bachelor of Laws (Monash University).  Natasha adopts a curious approach to her work, taking the time to get to know people, what’s important to them, what they want to achieve in life, and how barriers can be overcome.  Natasha’s approach is person-centered, collaborative, trauma-informed, and intersectional – Natasha considers how all the different parts of your identity such as your gender identity, cultural background, First Nations identity, LGBTIQA+ identity, disability, age, and other characteristics, impact you and your life.
