Building better futures for young people
Welcome
Our team at Keystone Psychology are here to help build better futures for young people with complex needs by providing expert forensic psychological services. Finding the right help can feel overwhelming, so we are here to support you through this process.

Forensic Assessment
Our forensic assessments and psychological assessments are designed to help families and professionals to better understand and manage a young person's challenging behaviour by drawing the puzzle pieces together. Our parenting capacity and family assessments are designed to inform Courts and case managers how to best meet the needs of the children. |
Treatment
We aim to improve the wellbeing of young people who present with a range of sensitive and concerning behaviours that may, if left unaddressed, have negative impacts on their future. We also provide therapeutic intervention to young people who have experienced trauma, as well as those who just need some extra support to navigate life. |
Consultation
We assist professionals to manage cases effectively with the best interests of the young person in mind while balancing the interests of the community. We provide training, supervision and secondary consultation. |
