Dr. Michele Mitten is the owner and founder of Mind Goals Psychology. Michele is both a Clinical Psychologist, and a Sport & Exercise Psychologist.

She offers a compassionate, down-to-earth approach to her clients, bringing empathy and respect to her sessions. She acknowledges how difficult it can be to take the first step in seeking support and considers it a privilege to assist every person in their journey. By helping you to connect to your behaviours, emotions, body, and thoughts, we can together work on broadening your understanding your experiences and begin the healing process.

About Mind Goals…

Mind Goals Psychology works with teenagers and adults across different cultures to help them overcome life’s challenges. We work with presentations such as anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, grief and loss, school refusal, relationship conflicts, trauma. We also work with people who experience difficulties in day-to-day life (e.g., teenager “moodiness”, people-pleasing, shyness, difficulties trusting others, etc.).

Speciality areas include men’s mental well-being; assessing children (of all ages) for giftedness; rural populations including farmers; and working with both sports teams and athletes on their sports performance.

Mind Goals is not a bulk-billing practice. We work with private clients, Medicare (with a Mental Health Care Plan), and NDIS (plan and self-managed only).

Our offices are based in Newtown, VIC, and we also offer the option of TeleHealth where necessary.
