PROFILE - Walace Duarte
 

I am a clinical psychologist with over 20 years experience within the mental health, and associated, sectors.  I have worked in a diverse range of areas, including; community mental health services, non-government organisations, employment services, drug and alcohol rehabilitation, employer assistance programs and private practice.  

 

I work effectively with various diagnoses and presentations, including; anxiety and depression, stress and burnout, grief and suicide bereavement, relationship/couple issues, trauma, addiction, schizophrenia and psychosis, and personality disorders.  I work with adolescents, adults and couples.

 

In addition to Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, I am also trained in Schema Therapy (effective for both moderate and chronic mental health concerns), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy  (treatment for personality disorders), and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) for trauma.

 

I work within a person-centred approach, which means I will work collaboratively with you to achieve your therapeutic goals.
