JUSTIN DORAN
PSYCHOLOGY
I work as a Clinical Psychologist with young people and adults in private practice in Crows Nest, Sydney. I’m a Supervisor on the Master of Clinical Psychology training program at Macquarie University. Since 2019 I have been delivering workshops and presentations to local and global organisations. I also sit on the Board of the Australian and New Zealand chapter of the Association for Contextual Behavioural Sciences.
My first 10 years of clinical experience was with the Child Youth Mental Health Service (CYMHS) and the Northern Sydney Child Protection Service at Royal North Shore Hospital. Through these positions, I developed an interest and expertise in working with people affected by childhood trauma and crisis management. I also work with young people and adults struggling with a wide range of emotional and behavioural difficulties.
Prior to working as a Clinical Psychologist, I held a research position at the Black Dog Institute and teaching roles at Macquarie University and the University of Wollongong.
I am trained in cognitive behavioural therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, and attachment-based family therapies. Whenever possible I try to work collaboratively with other clinicians to achieve the best outcomes for my clients.
Outside of the office, I enjoy spending time with my young family, surfing, cooking, photography, and playing golf.
