- Clinical Psychologist & Psychodynamic Psychotherapist- 

Jess Armitage is a Clinical Psychologist and Psychodynamic Psychotherapist who provides individual psychotherapy for adults. Jess supports adults who are experiencing challenges with anxiety, depression, relationship and family issues, complex trauma, existential issues and alcohol and drug use. 

Jess has experience across a range of services including private practice, domestic violence and sexual assault services, child and family services and alcohol and drug use services. She aims to offer a supportive, non judgemental therapeutic relationship that helps patients to develop deeper, more loving relationships with themselves, others and the world.

Psychodynamic therapy is a depth based, relational form of psychotherapy. Rather than focusing solely on reducing symptoms, psychodynamic approaches aim to understand the underlying cause of symptoms and the context in which they emerge for each individual. Each patient is provided with a consistent 50 minute therapy time on a weekly basis. 

The fee for a 50 minute session is $220. With a Mental Health Care Plan, patients may be eligible for medicare rebates of $145.25 for up to 10 sessions per calendar year (Gap fee is $74.75). A limited number of reduced fees spaces are available for patients who are struggling finanically and are not eligible for Medicare Rebates.
