Your Path to Sexual Health, Intimacy, and Mental Well-being
Sexual Health and Intimacy Psychological Services (SHIPS) services are now available for our Box Hill Clinic. SHIPS is dedicated to helping you lead a fulfilling life by addressing your sexual health, intimacy, and mental well-being. With locations in Fitzroy and Box Hill, Melbourne, the progressive, inclusive psychology organisation offers trauma-informed, evidence-based treatment and training.
Sexual Health Therapy Services: SHIPS practitioners are AHPRA registered psychologists who provide a safe and confidential space to address issues related to sexual health. Whether you're dealing with concerns about arousal difficulties, sexual pain, addictions, desire discrepancies, or any other aspect of your sexual well-being, SHIPS therapy services are tailored to meet your unique needs.
Mental Health Treatment Services: SHIPS understand that mental health is intrinsically connected to one's overall well-being and to our sexual health. SHIPS also provides mental health services designed to help you navigate challenges such as anxiety, depression, stress, personality disorders and trauma. SHIPS employ evidence-based therapies to support your emotional and psychological health.
Relationship Therapy: Building and maintaining healthy relationships can be complex. This complexity is amplified when intersected with marginalised experiences, mental health challenges, and sexual difficulties. Our relationship therapy service focuses on enhancing communication, resolving conflicts, and fostering intimacy in partnerships of all kinds. Whether you're in a romantic relationship/s, exploring non-monogamy, navigating family dynamics, or seeking guidance for any interpersonal connection, SHIPs therapists are here to assist you.
Gender Affirming Psychology Services: SHIPS is committed to providing affirming care for individuals exploring their gender identity or undergoing gender transition. Experienced psychologists offer compassionate and inclusive support to help you navigate this deeply personal journey. They provide WPATH assessments and reports.
Marginalised Community Support Services: SHIPS is a kink, non-monogamy, LGBTIQA+, and Sex Work inclusive organisation. SHIPS utilises a social model of mental health and believes it is important to identify when individual suffering is the result of social stigma, rather than pathologising individuals. They are here to advocate for you and support your journey.
