About Us

At the heart of our clinic is a shared belief: that meaningful, lasting change is possible—even for those who feel stuck in patterns of intense emotion, reactivity and self-defeating behaviours.

We are a team of experienced clinicians united by our commitment to evidence-based treatment, clinical excellence and genuine human connection. Our work is shaped by deep respect for our clients’ courage and a belief in their capacity to build lives worth living.

Our Story

We founded the clinic in 2017 after recognising a gap in the services available for people struggling with overwhelming emotions and impulsive behaviours. For many of these people, traditional talk therapy isn’t enough - lasting change also requires learning new skills in changing behavioural, emotional, thinking and interpersonal patterns associated with problem in living.

​

Our director, Tania Alexander, had pioneered one of the first comprehensive Dialectical Behaviour Therapy  (DBT) programs in a pubic mental health service in Sydney more than 20 years earlier - a program that continues to this day. 

​

Inspired by the profound changes she saw in participants, she partnered with the other two clinic directors, Louise Fisher and Bianca Dos Santos, to establish Sydney’s first comprehensive full-model DBT program in private practice.
