Mind Potential Psychology: Our Team
Mind Potential Psychology was established with the aim of delivering high level, evidence-based psychological treatment to individuals across the Sunshine Coast.
Founding Director, Danielle McCarthy, recognised that not only is skill important in treating psychological concerns, but so too is getting the right fit between psychologist and client.
This is a very important relationship after all and one that is so crucial to getting right.
