Psychologist in Mermaid Beach

You will find us at Suite 302, Mermaid Plaza, 2400 Gold Coast Highway (corner of Markeri Street), Mermaid Beach QLD 4218. The rooms are designed as a calm, light-filled space, and appointments are available from 7am, Monday to Friday.

Mermaid Plaza sits on the Gold Coast Highway, so it is straightforward to reach by car or public transport. The G:link light rail and local buses run along the highway, and there is parking on site.

Consultation hours, as published on our contact page, are Monday to Friday, 7am to 6pm. We are closed on Saturday and Sunday. Telehealth sessions by phone or secure video are also available, including for clients elsewhere in Australia.

People come to us with concerns such as anxiety and panic, depression and low mood, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), trauma and PTSD, grief, relationship and family difficulties, workplace stress and burnout, adjustment to life changes, self-esteem, perfectionism, anger, and difficulties with alcohol or other substances. We also offer psychological assessments, including adult ADHD and autism (ASD) assessments, where that is an appropriate next step.

You do not need a formal diagnosis to get in touch. If you are unsure who to see, describe what you are looking for and reception will help you find a psychologist who is a good fit, or you can meet the team and choose someone yourself.

You can book directly. A referral is not required to make an appointment. Call reception on (07) 5627 0215 or send an enquiry and the team will help you find a psychologist and a time that works.

If you have a valid Mental Health Treatment Plan and referral from your GP, psychiatrist or paediatrician, you may be eligible for a Medicare rebate under the Better Access initiative. Eligible clients can currently claim a rebate on up to ten individual sessions each calendar year. The first referral usually covers up to six sessions; after that we send a progress report to your GP, who may refer you for up to four more in the same year. We claim electronically at the appointment, so bring your referral, Medicare card and an EFTPOS card. Current fees, rebate amounts and gap payments are on our fees and rebates page.

Self-referred clients are welcome and pay the session fee privately. We are registered with most private health funds; if your extras cover includes psychology, we can usually process a rebate on the spot via HICAPS. Department of Veterans’ Affairs Gold Card holders are bulk billed. White Card holders should confirm eligibility with DVA.

GPs and other referrers can use the form on our referrals page, sent with the Mental Health Treatment Plan to reception@mindtreepsychology.com or by calling (07) 5627 0215.
