Psychiatry Clinic St Albans, Melbourne
Outpatient Psychiatry Clinic
Welcome to the Sunshine Clinic Private Hospital Psychiatry Clinic. We welcome adolescent and adult patients experiencing a wide range of mental health concerns who are seeking an outpatient consultation with one of our experienced psychiatrists.
Our clinic offers modern, comfortable consulting suites and access to psychiatrists with a variety of sub-specialty interests and areas of expertise, allowing us to provide tailored care for each individual patient.
For most patients, an outpatient consultation with one of our psychiatrists is the first step in the assessment and treatment process.
During this appointment, your psychiatrist will take the time to understand your concerns, review your history, and discuss the most appropriate treatment options.
If inpatient care is considered beneficial, this will be assessed during your consultation and, where appropriate, arrangements can be made for admission. Alternatively, your psychiatrist may recommend a personalised multidisciplinary treatment plan, which may include ongoing psychiatric care, psychology, medication management, or other supportive services.
