The Social Space
For Diverse Thinkers
PSYCHOLOGY CLINIC
The Social Space Psychology Clinic opened in February 2019. The Social Space provides a safe and inclusive space where children, teens and young adults, with a unique perspective of the world, can immerse themselves in psychological intervention, diagnostic assessments, evidence-based group programs , bootcamps/workshops, fun social groups and so much more.
Our services aim to nurture developmental, learning, emotional and social competencies for neurodiverse individuals.
We use different creative therapeutic modalities so that skills are taught in a fun, safe and engaging way. The goal is to improve social acceptance and inclusion, emotional regulation, and self understanding and acceptance, which contribute significantly to positive well-being and overall quality of life.
We have several evidence based group programs for all ages that are facilitated by psychologists with specialised training in best practice delivery of these programs and competencies in working with neurodiversity.
Our programs focus on continued support across the lifespan so that individuals can continue to up skill as they move through different stages of their life, from childhood to adolescence to adult hood.
We are an all-inclusive space supporting individuals with ASD, ADHD, anxiety, social isolation and anyone else that would like to be a part of our social space. We focus on providing a space that nurtures inclusion, acceptance and a sense of belonging, and a space that celebrates diversity and individuality!
