First Steps on the Mountain and Frequently Asked Questions

---

 All therapists at Highpoint Allied Health hold advanced degrees in psychology or a related field and are fully licensed to practise in their respective states. They bring extensive training and experience in a variety of therapeutic approaches to support diverse client needs.

In addition to our clinical team, we proudly work with consultants from multidisciplinary and non-traditional backgrounds. While they may not come from psychology-specific disciplines, they bring valuable life experience, specialised knowledge, and personal qualities we deeply respect — such as resilience, empathy, cultural insight, and lived experience. These team members contribute meaningfully to our holistic, person-centred approach and enrich the support we provide.

Our therapists are trained to support clients with a wide range of mental health challenges, including depression, anxiety, trauma, addiction, and relationship difficulties. We also specialise in working with neurodivergent populations, particularly individuals with autism, ADHD, and intellectual disability — with a strong focus on those with combined presentations such as AuDHD.

In addition to therapy, we provide coaching, multidisciplinary support, and collaborative goal-setting through case conferencing and consultation. Our team also delivers training and capacity-building to organisations seeking to better understand and support neurodivergent individuals.

Whether working one-on-one or in partnership with families, support networks, or service providers, we take a holistic and strength-based approach to care — helping individuals and communities grow with clarity, direction, and purpose.

Therapy can take many different forms, and no two journeys are the same. Some people benefit most from one-on-one sessions (individual therapy), while others may find support, insight, and connection through group therapy. Both approaches can be effective — it really depends on the individual, their preferences, and their goals.

From the very beginning, we take the time to understand what matters most to you. 

One of the first things we might ask is: "What would you like to have happen?" and "If we're helping, how will you know?" 

These questions help us tailor your support and ensure we’re working together in a way that feels meaningful and helpful to you.

Whether you're seeking a safe space to talk, new tools to manage life’s challenges, or a deeper understanding of yourself, we’re here to support you in a way that fits your unique path.
