ABOUT US
We are a clinical psychology practice based in the North Eastern suburb of Holden Hill. We offer clinical psychology services and counseling to adolescents, adults and older adults. The therapies we use are ‘evidence based’ which means they are based on current psychological research into the most effective therapeutic interventions available. We specialise in the assessment and treatment of mood disorders (depression, bipolar disorder), anxiety disorders (panic attacks, obsessive and compulsive behaviour, worry), personality issues, trauma, sexual abuse, workplace stress, relationship issues, grief and loss, addiction and substance abuse problems. We also work with people who are wanting to make change in their lives, whether this be improving their confidence, assertiveness skills or parenting or improving their wellbeing.
Cheryl Quinn and Dr. Mariana Scriva Cuadros are the directors of mindwise psychologists. Mariana and Cheryl are both highly experienced and well qualified psychologists, registered with the Australian Register of Health Practitioners (AHPRA). Both are endorsed to practice in the area of Clinical Psychology and have extensive experience in Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) , Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT). Cheryl and Mariana have worked together over many years and have similar interests in a number of areas of psychological practice. Cheryl and Mariana have different backgrounds in their training and experience prior to working in private practice together and this has resulted in a practice with a broad knowledge and experience base with different therapeutic interventions.
In 2020 we welcomed Rebecca Penrose to our team and she has added a wealth of experience and expertise in compassion focused therapy to our team. Rebecca has experience in a wide range of psychological areas of concern, including mood disorders, anxiety disorders and trauma related disorders. She has a particular interest in the treatment and support of patients with a cancer diagnosis.
In April 2022 we welcomed Dr Jessica Cipolla to our practice. Jessica has an interest in a variety of clinical presentations and enjoys working with adolescents and adults.
In April 2024 we welcomed Dr Tomoko Nishizawa to the team. Tomoko has experience across a range of clinical presentations and has a particular interest in helping people with emotional regulation issues and trauma related difficulties.
