This page lists Male Trauma Psychologists in Melbourne. 8 in all.
That is 8 of the 29 psychologists listed in Melbourne.
These are practitioners who identify as male on their profile 1. We ask every therapist that question, and they may decline to answer. We do not check it.
This list answers an explicit request for a man.
Identifying as a man is a different thing from working with men's concerns. A client and a practitioner always differ, whatever they share 2.
What trauma therapy treats
Trauma therapy treats what stays behind after a frightening or overwhelming event.
The World Health Organization names psychological treatment as the first choice for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) 3. Trauma-focused cognitive-behavioural therapy and EMDR have the most evidence.
Treatment usually includes preparation, and work on the memory itself comes later. It is for people whose symptoms have persisted.
Not everyone who has been through something bad needs it. Ask a practitioner which approaches they are trained in.
What a psychologist does, and where assessment fits in
Everyone on this page is listed under the professional title psychologist. Psychologists apply the study of the mind and behaviour to assist people through difficulty. Clinical psychologists work with people of all ages, with families, carers, teams and communities.
Assessment belongs to a psychologist's training, and sits alongside therapy. Clinical, counselling and educational psychology are different training routes. Each route emphasises different work.
Which titles are registered varies by country. Where the title is registered, the register says what it covers. Ask a psychologist which route they trained through, and what they work with most.
What this page filters on
These are the only filters: the practitioner's stated Male identity, the specialism recorded as Trauma and the professional title psychologist.
The Melbourne page answers more questions about therapy there.
