SHE IS EMBODIED PSYCHOLOGY

Founder and Clinical Director of She is Embodied Psychology

Hi, I’m Ksenia.

I'm a Clinical Psychologist and a Credentialed Eating Disorder Clinician specializing in eating disorders, disordered eating, and body image. I help people stop obsessing over food and heal their relationship with their body. I help people feel good in their body so they can lead a fulfilling and happy life free from diets, yo-yo weight and obsessive exercise!

I'm queer and neuro spicy, so I’ll never judge you and you will find safety and acceptance here. I love working with neurodivergent and LGBTIQA+ folk, so if that’s you, you’ve come to the right place.

While I focus on eating disorders, my work covers so much more, including anxiety, depression, and trauma, which often show up alongside disordered eating. I’m really passionate about helping my clients develop emotional regulation skills so they can manage mental health issues on their own.

The thing is, no one’s born knowing how to cope with painful feelings, and sadly, most people don’t get taught these skills in school either. So, if you’re struggling, there’s nothing wrong with you, it’s just that you haven’t been shown how to handle it yet.

Whether you’re dealing with body image concerns, an eating disorder or other mental health struggles, I’m here to help you learn the tools you need.

If you think we’re a good match or are wondering if I can help you, please reach out!

Do you have seating available for larger bodies?

Certainly, each therapy room is equipped with a variety of seating options, including comfortable couches suitable for all body types.

How much does a session cost?

Sessions with Ksenia are priced at $250 for 50 minutes. Weekend and after-hours appointments are $270 for the same duration. If you have a Mental Health Care Plan you will receive $145.25 rebate from Medicare.

How long are the appointments?

Each appointment is scheduled for 50 minutes.

What types of appointments are available?

We offer face-to-face, phone, and Zoom appointments.

Will my information stay private?

Absolutely. Everything discussed during your sessions and all your personal information are confidential and private. We do not disclose this information to anyone without your explicit consent, except in a few exceptional circumstances which we will discuss during your initial session.

What do I need to do to see you?

You'll need a referral and a Mental Health Care Plan from your GP or Psychiatrist. With this, you can receive $145.25 back from Medicare, making your out-of-pocket cost $104.75 on weekdays and $124.75 on weekends and after-hours.

You may also claim on your private health insurance; we provide receipts with item numbers for this purpose.

Alternatively, you can opt for therapy without a referral, in which case you'll need to cover the full cost yourself.

Are Eating Disorder Plans available?

Yes, eligible clients may obtain an Eating Disorder Plan from their GP, allowing Medicare rebates for up to 40 sessions per calendar year with a psychologist and up to 20 sessions with a dietitian. We discuss this during sessions if it's relevant to your situation.

How many sessions will I need?

The number of sessions depends on your unique circumstances. You can stop therapy at any time, and you're always in control of the frequency and duration of treatment. We usually recommend starting with 6 weekly sessions, after which we'll review your goals and progress.

How do I know if therapy is right for me?

Therapy can be beneficial for anyone facing challenges or seeking personal growth. If you're experiencing difficulties managing stress, coping with life transitions, dealing with relationship issues, or simply want to enhance your well-being, therapy may help. Our therapists are here to support you on your journey toward greater mental health and fulfillment.

Is therapy confidential?

Yes, confidentiality is a cornerstone of our practice. We strictly adhere to professional and ethical guidelines to ensure the privacy and confidentiality of our clients. Your information will not be shared with anyone without your explicit consent, except in cases where there's a legal obligation to do so.

Do you accept DVA funding?

Yes, we accept DVA funding for eligible clients. Feel free to call us to discuss your situation.

Can I bring someone with me to my therapy sessions?

You're welcome to bring a trusted friend or family member to your sessions if you feel it would be beneficial. However, therapy is most effective as a one-on-one conversation between you and your therapist. If you decide to bring someone, it's important they respect your privacy and the therapeutic process.
