Did you know that at Archer Street Health we have two psychologists who make working with clients with chronic health conditions their priority?! 🤗

Meet Health Psychologist Ally Olekalns (pictured right here 🤩) and Clinical Psychologist Dr Kym Nutting! Both of these wonderful women have experience and expertise in helping people with chronic conditions such as cancer, endometriosis, persistent pain, diabetes, and autoimmune conditions (plus more!) navigate the every day difficulties having such a condition places on life.

They’re also great at helping you reduce your pain! Does seeing a psychologist mean your pain is in your head?! Absolutely not!! We know however, that understanding your pain and working on conditions that amplify pain such as anxiety and depression can reduce pain flare intensity and duration. In fact we know that up to 80% of individuals with a chronic health condition will unfortunately experience anxiety or depression during the course of their illness.

Both Ally and Kym see people via mental health care plans, privately and via third parties such as workers compensation, NDIS and MAIB.

For further enquiries please contact our fabulous admin team on 6124 2222.

Exciting news! We have clinicians who have opened up space for cognitive assessments which means we have availability and limited wait times 👏

Archer Street Health offers cognitive assessments for adults and children. Cognitive assessments can be used for the following reasons:

🧠 Early entry to school (assessment for giftedness).

📚 Assessment of specific learning disorders (eg. dyslexia, dyscalculia).

🧠 Intellectual assessments, to determine overall strengths, weaknesses and learning styles, including giftedness to determine need for learning extension programmes.

📚 To determine the presence of an intellectual disability.

🧠 To help with planning use of NDIS funding.

📚 To assess for cognitive related changes post an acquired brain injury (eg. stroke, head injury)

🧠 To determine the presence of cognitive decline

We also offer adult Autism and ADHD assessments which are done in collaboration with our psychiatrists where possible. While we can do child ADHD assessments our paediatricians do not have current availability to take on new patients.

For more information please contact 6124 2222 or email info@archerstreethealth.com.au

Looking for something fun to do this Sunday with your little ones?

A Day for Jordy was created by Marisa in memory of her brother Jordan. Jordy was a much loved brother, son and friend who tragically lost his life to su***de at the young age of 17.

As such, a Day for Jordy raises money towards Albie House/Lifeline to raise awareness and provide services for individuals with depression and suicidal ideation.

Join me in supporting albie house : https://go.rallyup.com/adayforjordyfamilyfunday
