Hello I’m Sarah, a psychologist here at Melbourne Wellbeing Group. I work collaboratively with adolescents and young adults to explore their goals and values, and prioritise building upon your existing skills and knowledge to create meaningful change in your life. I have extensive clinical experiences, having helped people struggling with depression, anxiety, stress, interpersonal conflict, relationship difficulties, low-self esteem, sleep issues, perfectionism, OCD, substance use, and some personality disorders. I also provide neuro-affirming assessments for adult ADHD.
I am particularly passionate about assisting young adults in creating healthy and meaningful changes in their lives which are aligned with what is most important to them. I undertake a collaborative and holistic person-centred approach in therapy and draw upon an eclectic blend of therapeutic modalities including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT), Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), and Motivational Interviewing (MI).
I focus on creating a welcoming therapeutic environment, which is warm and nurturing for you to explore your experiences. I believe the therapeutic relationship is integral in cultivating a safe space which promotes reflective practice and growth. I feel exceptionally grateful being able to work in this field, and look forward to working with you!

**Dr Janet Tong**
Senior Clinical Psychologist. D.Psych. (Clinical).
Hi, I’m Janet, a clinical psychologist here at Melbourne Wellbeing Group. I enjoy working with children, adolescents, adults and families. Talking about things that upset or worry us isn’t always an easy task. I aim to make this process smoother by going at your pace, using a bit of humour, and getting to know you as more than your “problem”. I believe context matters hugely, and part of our work together is getting to know your context, and how things in your past have shaped your thoughts, feelings and actions to date. I can support you through difficult issues (e.g., Anxiety Disorders, OCD, Trauma Work - incl PTSD and trauma informed work for OCD, Mood Disorders incl BiPolar, Grief and Loss, Work related and other stressors incl relationships, Illness), further your self-understanding, develop skills to identify unhelpful patterns and work towards meaningful change.
Prior to working in private practice, I worked in public mental health settings assisting individuals across the lifespan with anxiety, low mood, attachment-related difficulties, childhood trauma, challenging personalities, grief, anger, school-related issues, individuation, and existential issues. I have an eclectic therapeutic style, drawing from a range of evidence-based treatments such as psychoeducation, Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT), Acceptance Commitment Therapy (ACT), Schema Therapy (ST), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), trauma-informed practice, mindfulness, narrative therapy, and family-based approaches. I look forward to working with you.

Mr Max Dang

Psychologist (Clinical Psychology registrar). Bachelor of Arts (Honours), Master of Psychology (Clinical).

Hi! I’m Max (he/him). I completed my six-year training at The University of Melbourne and have since supported young people and adults across hospitals, acute mental health services, and private practice.

Through my clinical experience, I am passionate in supporting people of all ages and backgrounds with a wide range of concerns, including long-term depression, anxiety, stress, relationships, grief, and complex trauma. Specifically, I hold special interests in obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), psychosis, and social anxiety.

I believe every person brings a unique story. Therefore, I take a compassionate and collaborative approach to always create a safe space where you can feel heard, supported, and empowered. My therapeutic style is tailored to your needs, drawing on my strengths in evidence-based approaches including Cognitive-Behaviour therapy (CBT), Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Schema Therapy.

Alongside private practice, I work as a clinician at the world-leading Orygen Specialist Program, where I support young people aged 12 to 25 experiencing psychosis and complex mental health concerns. I have also supported people facing cancer at the Austin Hospital and those navigating physical rehabilitation at the Royal Talbot Centre. For me, helping those who are most in need is not just part of work - it is my greatest privilege.

Outside of work, you will find me spending time taking photos, writing music, or cheering on my favourite football team to nurture my own wellbeing!
