Dr Missy Wolfman

Clinical Psychologist

“I'm a Clinical Psychologist with a passion for empowering you to thrive in your life. Let's face it - life can be hard and stressful and sometimes you can feel stuck. My job is to listen and support you, and teach you skills and strategies that can help you get moving again. I also offer ADHD assessments.”

About Me

I understand how life's pressures can make you feel overwhelmed and stuck. As a Clinical Psychologist, I create a supportive environment where we can identify challenges together. My focus is on equipping you with practical skills and strategies to move forward with confidence. For those grappling with stress or considering an ADHD assessment, I offer clear, actionable guidance to help you thrive.

Approach

When things pile up, I help you map clear, achievable steps to regain control and keep moving. I offer sessions in English from my Auckland clinic and via secure online appointments, keeping a steady, practical pace that feels manageable. In-session we set focused goals, try gentle experiments and use evidence-informed approaches, with brief, doable tasks between meetings so new habits can take root. This way of working often suits adults and parents looking for hands-on, straightforward support with anxiety, mood or attention challenges.
