Dr Dion Alperstein
I am a clinical psychologist. My approach to therapy is collaborative, honouring each person as the expert of their lived experience, while offering a strong therapeutic relationship and an evidence-based psychological framework to make meaningful changes. I draw on a range of therapeutic modalities to suit the needs of each individual, with cognitive behavioural therapy and schema therapy as a foundation.
I gained invaluable experience over almost a decade working with complex mental health presentations at a community public health setting prior to founding Eastern Beaches Psychology. I work with individuals 16 and older across a broad range of presentations. I continue to work part time in public health, where I am increasingly specialising in supporting adults with attachment trauma, substance use, trauma related to minority stress (e.g. HIV, LGBTQIA+) and individuals with personality vulnerabilities.
I provide regular supervision for other registered clinical psychologists and postgraduate master of clinical psychology students from the University of Sydney, University of New South Wales, University of Technology Sydney, Macquarie University, Western Sydney University and University of Wollongong.
