BRIGHT FACES PTY LTD 3/21 Reserve Road, Melton, Victoria, 3337

Info

Overview

As an Educational & Developmental Psychologist, Michelle assists others to understand their intellectual and social-emotional abilities across their lifespan. Michelle's main area of expertise is the diagnosis and treatment of Autism Spectrum Disorders, with over 20yrs of experience in the field. Our award-winning, purpose built, multidisciplinary clinic mainly treats paediatrics and their families but on most occasions, we continue to see our clients even into their adult years, should they ever need to call upon us. The role of an Ed & Dev Psychologist is very systemic in their approach, as we don’t just deal with the individual in question; we also see how to support other contributing influences (e.g. parents, siblings, educational setting, workplace, etc.). Over the last few years, we have taken on psychology students on placement while they complete their Master’s level degree. Michelle is also qualified to supervise psychologists wanting endorsement specialisation as an Ed & Dev Psychologist.
