Carissa Dutton

I am a generally registered psychologist who is currently undertaking a PhD exploring psychedelic harm reduction and integration. I have also completed further studies in psychedelic assisted therapies, and can provide harm reduction and integration support for clients who are considering psychedelic use in non-medical settings. Other areas of interest include working with clients who may have experienced childhood trauma to develop self-awareness, self-confidence and healthy relationships.

As an assessment psychologist, I have been trained in the use of a number of ADHD psychometric tests to support in the assessment and diagnosis of people with ADHD. I believe in taking the time to identify and understand an ADHD client’s experience of their symptoms, and how these impact their lives. ADHD can impair functioning across a number of different areas including employment, study, family, relationships and general self-esteem. 

I am a compassionate, nonjudgmental and supportive practitioner, who uses a variety of treatment modalities including EMDR, ACT , Schema Therapy and Mindfulness-based Approaches and to work with you to achieve your goals so you can live a fulfilling life, no matter what that means to you. My goal is to support people to have the self-confidence and right tools to effectively manage their condition, to be able to live life to the fullest.
